Most or at least many folks never haul much because they do not do anything for themselves

If mama wants a minivan, buy a Metris or a sprinter if she makes that kind a money! Forget that riceburner crap. My first van was a frod 66 "falcon" It was great, except in freezing rain. 240 truck engine. I ran continental 6 ply radials on it to take the loads I hauled. 66 and 67 had the heavy duty rear end vs the earlier spicer POS that broke frequently. It hauled as much as a 3/4 ton truck. up to 2500 lb of freight easily. Sometimes more! Second was a 99 dogde GC. that has been superseded by two other GCs. The current crop of GC are frustrating because you can't haul more than a couple 4x8 sheets. I hauled 50 sheets of 1/2" CDX sheeting in the old frod. I hauled a full stack of 4x8 sheets in the ? 2000 GC vans. I don't now about the 2001 to 2007 GC, I never had one of them. Those asian crap vans are nothing but POS. I don't think you can haul a sheet of plywood in any of them. I really like the "Stow and go" back seats in the dogde. Saves a lot of work and keeps some jackass from stealing your seats while you have them out to haul stuff. I seldom need the rear seats, but they are noce to have once in a while. > Randy Bennell via Mercedes <mailto:mercedes@okiebenz.com> > January 31, 2017 at 3:33 PM > > > It is what you want if your wife insists you drive a mini-van. > > My son works or worked with a fellow whose wife is a specialist MD of > some sort who earns a whole lot more than him. > He needed a new vehicle and was talking at work about what he wanted- > some sporty car. > Apparently, his wife who made most of the money thought he needea to > drive a mini-van so he could haul their two children around so he > ended up with a Toyota (or maybe Honda)) mini-van and took a fair > amount of ribbing about it from the guys in his office. > > RB _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
