I also have a 2007 Ford E350 XLT passenger van with the 5000 lb towing package. Here in Sierra Leone it gets over the bad roads with nary a problem. And every eye turns to look at it because it is a tank compared to the little chinese and Toyota junk they have.
We should start a club. Wow, you are living adventure.
My husband is Jewish. He tells me he doesn’t “schlep,” so we haven’t added the tow package.
How did you end up in Sierra Leone. Are you a missionary?
