Either the Growler for 5k, or the Scorpion for 12k. The Scorpion can handle a heavy weapon mount and rolls 7 more soak dice than the Growler, though its handling suffers off-road. The Growler has the best off-road handling of the bikes, so is best through alleys and such.

You're Street Level, right? The best you could handle is a pickup with a tarp over any drones, or a boring sedan with drones in the trunk and backseats. If you want maneuverability, get a bike. If you want cargo space, a sedan or pickup.

Gophers are awesome. See if you can manage to talk your GM into letting you put a camper on the back for cheap so you can hide drones better than with a tarp.

In the story about the tall blonde rigger woman in the book, she's got some sort of thing in the back of her truck. A multi-drone-storage-and-launching kinda thingee.
It sounds cool, but i can't any mention of it in the gear section.
Anyone know what that thing is?

It's a drone rack, which hasn't shown up in 5e yet.

I'd expect them in Rigger V, they sound like something that would make the cut. Basically it's a deployment storage rack for drones, that keeps them in there properly and lets them dismount the vehicle easily (rather than trying to cram through doors past benches and such).

I'd go with the pickup truck
Not a lot of room for passengers but the back has plenty of room for drones and even a tool kit or two
And you wouldn't even need a camper or tarp
A hard cab top is crazy cheap and even comes standard with some models
And you can legally tint or cover (armor) the windows and be perfectly inconspicuous
I own a small construction company
You'd be surprised the places you can drive and park with a company logo on the side of your truck and maybe the simplest of excuses
