Since we were all reminiscing, how about the Ford E350 with the 7.3 diesel? 1 million miles and I touched neither the engine nor transmission, 21 mpg loaded, poor van had 3 trans flushes and maybe 50 oil changes for that mileage lol (good thing it took 16 quarts)
Closest mentally I've got to an ideal newer van than my 2005 sprinter: Promaster 3500 diesel (with egr dpf def deleted) but then I think of the horrible m40 transmission jumping into neutral...
Why oh why can't they improve on a T1N sprinter? I have a choice of better fuel mileage and random unfixable problems, or horrible mileage and still not lasting as long as 15 year old vans...

Unicell didn't have a chassis with the specs I wanted. I missed the window for ordering from GM. I would have had to wait about 11 months just for the chassis.

We prefer the term "misting", not putting out smoke!

It’s a vapor trail.
At 65 mph , i was thinking the smoking would be less. It smoked more than any big truck all along 294 ..

If you're looking for the best van to buy, it really depends on what you'll be using it for.

If you're looking for the best van to buy, it really depends on what you'll be using it for. If you need it for your business, like a men and a van firm, then you'll want to consider factors such as cargo capacity, fuel efficiency, and durability. Take your time to research and find the perfect van that meets your needs and budget.

Yes but this is a expediter forum so that would be the basis I would think the op is asking under.
I decided to write down some of your answers guys, thanks.
