Explanation:
It depends greatly on your audience. In fact this is one of those words that stands out amongst the ones that mean different things to different cultures.

I´ve heard this used for station wagon as well. You might tell the colleagues who the audience is and you´ll get a more precise answer.

disagree  Patricia Myers: Actually I think furgoneta refers to all kinds of vans. Trucks are called camiones in Spanish, at least in my country Spain maybe in other countries it is different.

agree  Alex Lane: I would imagine furgoneta applies only to "small" vans or trucks.
