Thinking about replacing a van or truck with a van, which would you choose?

Aerocell
There have been a number of threads where I've pointed out advantages of the Aerocell. I believe it is significantly superior to anything the big three has to offer, including the new Sprinter.

RE: Aerocell
I love my sprinter but I really think it's built a little light for this kind of work. I would choose a single wheel cutaway. I voted for cube van because I guess that's what it is, just on the small side. I know Landstar likes these and there are a few signed on with Fedex. Good old American iron. No expensive oils and fluids. All the filters and service parts are redily availadle and no special (1-guy) tech needed at the dealership. Just get it fixed when you need it.

RE: Aerocell
I voted for a Sprinter as well - I find that it is a pleasure to own/operate/drive for the most part. Now if it only had a bit more cushy ride ......
I gotta agree with Tom though - I think they are built a little lighter than I personally would prefer - and I try and drive it "easy" when I'm hauling any significant weight. I haven't been in the new '07's but it sounds like DC made some progress on what I consider it's biggest shortcoming - lack of storage in the cab.
