Hi......I have a FORD 2006 E350.....I would say it is very important to get
THE BIGGEST engine possible. The added equipment with the lift is
incredibly heavy and taxing on the van. A small engine would not give you
the power needed to offset the increased weight particularly over the long haul.
God luck,

I think William is dead on here. There is a place nearby here that does all
kinds of customs for all kinds of reasons and I was talking to a service tech
while he was eating at the diner and he said he isn't a Ford fan but when it
comes to full size customizing the ford is much easier to work with. I prefer
the looks of the GMC or the Chevy myself. The other tip: gas prices are never
coming down. Get the smallest engine you can.
Has anyone seen the 4cyl diesel utility van from Mercedes? I think it is
selling as a dodge.
Whatever you decide, my best wishes are with you.

P.S. I use public transport just about all the time. Its a $1.35 and everyone
pees freely ;) Aides go free too.

My understanding is that Fords are easier to adapt, especially if
considerable modifications are required (lowered floor etc.) Something about
frame construction. As for engine power, I would not turn around for the
difference.

Cullen here - Have been off list for about six week, hope all is well with
everyone. We have been traveling and parked our dog sled at canadian border and
now back in Arizona.
I have decided to go back to a full size van to replace my mini van. It is
between a chev and ford and I was wondering if anyone here has had experience
with later models of either. I don't have any prefrence ,but ford has a 5.4
liter engine and I have been told it is alittle under power. Chevy has a 6.0
liter but chevy is more money. I think most here have mini vans , but I just
thought I'd ask.
