No surprise seeing Michigan and Ohio in the top two spots but Florida number 3? I'm amazed Florida even cracked the top 10. We are talking active expedite owner/operators and not retired ones, right?

I hope Ragman doesn't read that.

You should be making estimated quarterly tax payments to the IRS. They tend to frown on lump sum payments in April when there has been no withholding or quarterly payments during the previous year. You may also be required to make estimated quarterly payments to you state. Here is a link to...

Thank you for reporting back!

The 3.31 rears may be too high geared for the Eco-Boost duplicating what you experienced with the 3.7L with the 3.73 gearing. The 3.73 gears might be a better choice for what we do. The diesel should have no problem with a 3.31 rearend.

The Eco-Boost and the diesel are still options that can be paired with the 3.73 rears.

You're on the right track Murray even though you're only a ¼ of the way into your first cup of coffee. A 6 speed transmission allows a smaller engine to perform more like a larger engine while being more fuel efficient. If the small engine spends a significant amount of road time in 4th gear...

You are welcome. Janis Joplin helped me with the last two lines.

Eric B. Sprintin got tired of sittin. So to make amends he bought a Mercedes Benz

Ford guy? He drives his Suburban to Cleveland to fetch his Chevy van. Did you have a rough night?

Shifts into overdrive?

I think you are right. Smaller engines and a couple of more gears to help with fuel economy. These vans are built for the large P & D and construction trades market, not for OTR expediting.

My brother-in-law (Ford sales) priced a tall extended with the 3.7L and it came back with 4.10 rears as standard, also. He is checking on options but from what you posted it might not be available. Flashing red lights would be pretty cool and the gurney will allow you to easily move your bed...

The real world road test is more telling than just driving around a large parking lot. Put 2000# in it, add a bit of a head wind and even on the flats it would probably downshift. I'm sure you're glad you took it out on the big road before buying. I know I am. Thanks for reporting back.

OVM was the undisputed top Canadien expediter until he defected to the U.S. and relinquished his crown. Currently there are several expediters vying for the top spot including but not limited to Scott M. and Piper. LOS could become a contender when the U.S. is forced to sell Michigan to Canada.

GM is right in the thick of the Euro-style van movement. When they unveil the new High Capacity DuraVan at the 2035 Detroit Auto Show; executives from Ford, MB, Fiat and SmartCar will pee in their pants. This is the Sprinter, Transit, Pro Master killer. . Shown here is the hydrogen powered...

Didn't they just build that joint in Seville 5 or 6 years ago after moving from Medina? I see another pay cut coming down the pike. Maybe Murray will buy the old building and move his operations up north. He may even be able to bribe the city council into changing the address from Panther...

How nasty is it? The news clip seemed to contain a lot of hype and not much fact. It was mentioned that a 50° liquified peroxide becomes flammable. Is that 50° Fahrenheit or Celsius? Gasoline is flammable at room temperature. It was also mentioned that it had a potential to be explosive...

Did they give you an approximate delivery date? Did you order through Luther? I'm still waiting to test drive one. I drove past one last Thursday sitting at a dealership in Liberty, MO. just a few miles up the pike from Claycomo. It was during rush hour and the ramp to that exit was all...
