I think that many of us are looking at the proverbial trees, rather than the forest. We often see the expedite/courier/P&D vans as a huge market for the cargo van manufacturers. In reality, there may be 10,000 - 15,000 of us in the USA/Canada market that buy new every 5 to 7 years; that's a potential for, maybe, 2000 - 3000 cargo van purchases a year divied among Ford, Chevy/GMC, and Dodge. Not enough of a market for the mfgr's to worry about the "under 10,001 crowd". Compare us to the ambulace, R/V, government, construction worker and Hispanic landscaper market and we pale in comparison. So few of them have to log regardless of weight, so GVWR is not an issue.

I looked at the pics.this is the same as my 12000 aerocell.Same fuel pump/tank with non replacable filter.I was told by gm the don't think it would need one as most van type trucks don't go over 100,000 miles,and if they do they usually will have had the pump assy replaced.It has the same.non repairable drive shaft.it has the same front end wich is too light at 12000lb yet alone at 15000.If considering this,i would go with a "C"4500.same engines and trans,a whole lot of bigger truck parts.Also you CAN get a areocell body,but not a forklift package in the box
