    Reefer C/V?

    Anyone run a reefer cargo van? Are you able to get non reefer loads just like a regular cargo van? Do you feel that it decreases your down time and puts more in your pocket? Thanks. Robert

    Fords Ecoboost V6

    I wonder how the new turbocharged Ecoboost v6 would do in these vans? They will be putting them in the F150 with 11,300lb towing capacity and it gets about 22mpg on hwy not under load. I doubt they will put them in the 1 ton vans but it might be interesting for a diesel alternative. Robert

    Van or S/T?

    I see a number of people talking about going from S/T to van but not many going the other way. They also seem happier in a van than the S/T after the move. I am surprised, anyone want to say why they think that is? Thanks. Robert

    3500 Sprinter without wheel wells in cargo area?

    Anyone ever taken a 3500 and added axle extenders and fender flairs similar to a dually truck and cutting out the interior wheel wells flush like a 2500 interior? Have the wheels outside the truck instead of in your cargo space like a dually pickup. Not sure the cost or parts availability...

    Freightliner or International?

    I am not looking for the "I like Ford over Chevy" type answers, I am asking if you have valid reasons for liking one over the other. All of the trucks I have driven are M2's and Durastar (4000 series) trucks. The M2's were mostly low milage and rattled like crazy and always had something going...
