It all depends on whether the van is a crossover from a passenger car model (most minivans fall into this category) or if it is based on a pickup truck, with body-on-frame, rather than unibody. At one time I had an Econoline Ford passenger van, and it was about as tricked out as Lincoln Town Car. My daughter did not mind going to the prom in that one, and it would haul a boat - it even had a ball hitch on the front bumper so the boat trailer could be driven down the ramp, rather than backed down.

And dual fuel tanks. The days of excess are long past.

This is the basic passenger van on the one ton truck body. Needs to be with the horrible roads here. It has been lifted so that we can go over most of the rocks and bad potholes. The V8 gets us up some really nasty hills also.

Not the smoothest ride in the world, but it has only been stopped once here in Freetown.
