Not the case.  Here is a 1910 Buick 2A truck.

 

 

 

Buick also made a "Delivery Car" in 1908 which had the engine under the seat.  It was based on a Buick Model F 2 cylinder touring car.

Used to own a 1 cylinder Reo 8 passenger bus. cute to lok at byt utterly useless on the road. Why Reo made a 1 cylinder truck with a little more effort on their part they could have installed one of their 2 cylinder engines and made a very nice drivable truck.

 

As for the ease of driving, My late wife climbed up and in the seat and told me to start the engine as she wanted to take it for a spin. I did as told and away she went. She was out and around the neighborhood.  When she returned to our place she had 8 neighborhood children in the bus all screaming  and carrying on. 

 

just sayin'
