Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place.

So I have worked with a friend for over a year now doing the traditional way. Now I'm feeling ready to go my own way.

At the moment, I have a lease with Toyota, I own the aygo. This car is not appropriate for window cleaning (poles or traditional) because it is too small.

So I am looking for advice on what Toyota car is the best for ladders and poles. (I can only stick with Toyota because I'm still in a lease agreement with them for another 2 years.)

On top of this, regarding the poles, is it better to get the trolley or a big tank to put in the back? I really need a car rather than a van as not enough seats and as I'm just starting up on my own, I can't afford anything too costly.

So to sum up, I need a Toyota car that I can fit ladders too legally as well as a big enough boot (potentially back seats that fold completely flat) to fit either a large tank, or the trolley with 6 (?) tanks of water. So with all that, the car has to be able to handle the weight.

As an extra question, there's lots of brands for the equipment for traditional (unger etc), what is the top of the range brand I can invest in?

Auris or bigger, I use a Mazda (similar size) and carry backpack 8 containers 27ft pole, my trad gear and a few extra bits and bobs in the car and a double, triple, single a frame ladders and a Harris pole on the roof
