The large truck.
It depends on which conditions you are considering. If a tow truck stays then a force is the same for the car and truck. If it is moving forward or backward then the force which is effecting the truck is more because it has to spend some work to move. To understand this process I were you I would draw force diagram and check different conditions of movement.
a 1500lb truck moving at 45 mph
M.o.r.e!!
a moving semi-truck
A Lot!
Only if it is moving forward and tide to the truck. Whether or not it is legal is another question. Pulling another vehicle is illegal in most states.
Newtons law of motion comes into play here. When the brakes are applied the body of the truck will want to continue on its forward motion. The contact of the tyres with the road will try to control that forward motion.
moving truck
Momentum = mass x velocity. You already stated the mass and velocity so you can figure out the momentum.

Depending on the amount of stuff you have in each bedroom, you can use a 17' moving truck or a 24' moving truck. You can find a packing guide at http://www.hireahelper.com/learning-center/moving-and-packing-guide/the-right-size-moving-truck
Uhaul and Budget truck rental are two of the companies that come to mind when it comes to moving truck rental. They even allow you to pick up the truck in one state and leave it in the other if you are moving far from where you live. I am sure there are others also, there might be a smaller company in your area. However, those are the two that I think most people know of and there are many locations nationwide.
Its still a van, as a truck is a truck
The principle that might apply here is momentum. Momentum is mass times velocity. What should be pointed out is that velocity is speed that has a direction vector. (If the car is moving ahead in a straight line it is traveling at "x" miles per hour "forward".) The car is moving forward and comes into contact with the truck. That seems to be where the question is looking. The mass of the car times its velocity is its momentum, and this represents the energy that it is carrying into the collision. This energy will have end up being distributed among the various parts and components of the car and the truck that are compressed, deformed and/or broken by the collision. The amount of damage will be proportional to the momentum. The more the momentum (the more the "forward" energy) of the car, the more compression, deformation and breakage there will be. Was everyone wearing seat belts? Are you in good hands?
