it's worth having a cart, a wagon, a small boat, a carriage... Those are things you often want to be tokens, because they move around during combats, but finding good tokens to use is always a nightmare.
It's probably worth having a barrel, a sack, a backpack, a bedroll, a small tent, crates.
Hm, maybe big rectangles for the vehicles? Whenever I did boats I would usually draw them on the map and have them as terrain... I could see tokens for it being really useful as long as they're big enough to fit everything yes. Maybe 10' by 15' for the carriage (two spaces up in front and 2x2 in the back) and boat, and 5' by 10' for a simple cart? Rectangular or odd-shaped tokens make everything more complex, but there are a bunch of great use cases for them so maybe it's worth doing...
Just finished the first draft of a set of item tokens -- I'm sticking with just large round tokens for the vehicles for now, barring something happening that makes me think it's worth getting fancier with it.
