I wonder how the new turbocharged Ecoboost v6 would do in these vans? They will be putting them in the F150 with 11,300lb towing capacity and it gets about 22mpg on hwy not under load. I doubt they will put them in the 1 ton vans but it might be interesting for a diesel alternative. Robert

I see a number of people talking about going from S/T to van but not many going the other way. They also seem happier in a van than the S/T after the move. I am surprised, anyone want to say why they think that is? Thanks. Robert

I was thinking today as I passed a truck stop and saw a a lot of trucks sitting and I know some of them are going to be there a while, I had a thought. Would there be any interest in setting up a folder/thread/sticky of some sort broken down by state, then city that everyone that was...

I am not asking what anyone makes and I am not trying to get personal, just gathering info. I may be wrong on some #'s below, please correct me if I am wrong. This is assuming 300 miles a day/5 days a week. If you have a 40k van loan and you avg 6000 miles a month at an avg of .90cpm...

I was looking in the FAQ's and only saw that the administrator has to enable pictures in profiles. I know it is enabled because many have a photos on their posts. My photo is in my profile but not my posts. I have even posted since adding my pic and still no pic in my posts. Did my mug...

Is there a photo page of everyones trucks and vans? Would be nice to have a Garage page or something for everything in one place. Thanks Robert

Anyone heard of these guys? Eastern has a M-F route job and they recommend Bush for all the insurance and help with discounted Sprinters. I can just buy a van but just wondering if anyone has worked with or know about these guys. Eastern Connection: Driven to Deliver for 25 years...

Anyone ever taken a 3500 and added axle extenders and fender flairs similar to a dually truck and cutting out the interior wheel wells flush like a 2500 interior? Have the wheels outside the truck instead of in your cargo space like a dually pickup. Not sure the cost or parts availability...

There are many animal rescues around the country and they need to move dogs and cats around to new homes and to other rescues. Have any of you ever considered transporting a rescued animal? We do it all the time as individuals and we can write off the mileage. I would think a trucker can dead...

Anyone have any pics of their layout for downtime? A/C and Gen or run engine for cool or heat? Beds? Thanks for anything you can provide. Robert

I am not looking for the "I like Ford over Chevy" type answers, I am asking if you have valid reasons for liking one over the other. All of the trucks I have driven are M2's and Durastar (4000 series) trucks. The M2's were mostly low milage and rattled like crazy and always had something going...

I just found out that the Sprinter is available with a gas engine. I don't want to go diesel and I will be doing local runs. What kind of mpg is the gas sprinter getting, anyone run one? Thanks. Robert

I am looking at the small N series Isuzu cabovers with a box for local deliveries. Do any of you have any experience with these in the last couple of years? I am most interested in the fuel mileage of the diesel and the gas version. Thank you for your help. Robert

I saw a Panther 2 with a Sterling Class 8 straight truck with single axle and underneath it was landing gear right behind the tires. Why would a straight truck have landing gear under it? Thanks. Robert

This is my first post and I have been lurking for awhile now. Although I do not expedite, this is the closest forum I could find for driving box trucks for deliveries. Thanks for all of your wisdom so far. Do any of you use a spreadsheet to keep track of maintenance times and costs? I am...
