Basic requirement is being able to haul sheet material (4’ wide) with no fuss.
I hate to say it, but what you actually want is a minivan.
I’ve borrowed my parents minivan for this in the past, but their newer Odyssey (~8yr old) doesn’t even fit sheet goods without going diagonal, which causes problems. Plus even with care, it inevitably scratches up the interior.
I’d rather have a medium to small sized truck with a standard to extended bed. I don’t care about scratches or dents, so can just toss things in without a worry, and can load without even lowering the tailgate.
TIL Odysseys are inferior minivans.
The Aerostar I had two decades ago and the Sedona I have now both fit sheet goods just fine.
Also, I don’t think you’ve been able to buy a regular cab/8’ bed pickup easily since about the '90s.
