I may be in the market for a utility van (the traditional rectangular

I figure they are pretty close so for the big fleet operators it's
more what you have used traditionally rather than one being
drastically better in price/performance/reliability?


I have a Ford 350 1-ton 15 passenger van. It's the best vehicle I've
EVER owned! Maintenance has been less than budgeted, it's been
perfectly reliable and has never stranded me.

I have the same unit (93) in a delievery truck. It passes everything
but a gas station.

Very reliable unit

Ive an '89 E350 thats been very reliable..but as Karl says....passes
everything but a gas station 341 Cleveland, 15mpg at 55 mph...10mpg at
65

sigh..correction...351

Don't you want to correct the name of the engine family, too, you bitchy
little douchebag?
