Sure does. Enough people are talking about the 6.0 GM, I'm pretty well settled on it...thanks for posting the weight, I also carry tools so I can ballpark my capacity...15 MPG works for the loads im getting with CNG or propane / gas dual fuel

All good info...lifestyle choice is what it comes down to I guess...just deadheaded 500 miles to get home after dropping on a Saturday, couldn't do that in a straight truck, it's good you guys have that huge bunk

See post An UFO robbed a truck... true or false? and all will be explained...

I don't think my freight insurance covers this one...

I made a note of what you said...I'm holding off for now, I know the Ford wouldn't get that but it's 10 grand and clean...cheapest I've seen in the Chevy version is 16000, I'm trying to avoid payments if I can...thanks

Pretend I'm stupid (it's not a stretch) why does it matter how many gears when the overdrive ratio is the same? Ford 5 speed and 4 speed 0.71 and 0.70

Ok...gear change I could do myself...same van with 3.73 MPG? Anyone? Would the 5.4 fall on its face with 3.55? Thanks billg27

I had the thought, unsure the difference in mpg it would make...a bubble van would work for me, can't find any around with the rear barn doors...I don't want to end up spending close in payments to the long and tall 2015 Transit I saw sell for $20,000 for an older truck when all is...

I got a hunch you're right, my current van is 13 years old, is set up for loose boxes and won't run on gasoline or diesel! I'm just jumpin at the first thing I see

Thanks. I think I need more planning before I buy, you just saved me some cash and a ton of frustration!

? Educate me please. Never had one, what's the difference? I even looked up the 4 speed auto, overdrive same as the later ford 5 speed, are chevys that much better?

I like that answer way better! Only 1 for sale anywhere near me, that's why I'm trying to figure out the biggest cost (fuel!) before I buy it...thanks

Yuck...anybody else driving one?

2010 Aerocell CW Ford 5.4 gas 4 spd automatic with 4.59 rearend its maybe 6000 lbs empty with the cab width aerodynamic high roof box Hwy mpg? Thanks

Hovering around 1.20 canadian for vans if I'm lucky, at 4 US per mile maybe OVM could sponsor a fellow Canadian after I buy a straight truck ;)

So I got bad info...making more sense now...guess I gotta be careful who I listen to

As a cargo van driver, I was always curious...how do you guys make money? I heard when diesel was up it cost 80 cents a mile just for fuel, and the per mile rate isnt that much more than vans... HOS limits your range, repairs and tows cost a fortune, not to mention insurance...cost of...

Lately that's my most travelled route...thanks for the heads up, I only think in DOT terms internet says 9600 lbs = 4354 what's the max GVW to be safely left alone here? Or does the fact that it looks over 4500 mean i'm doomed to be constantly checked out? And I've never done the yellow sticker...

Through that stress induced rant I think I missed the fact that an E350 Aerocell CW can achieve 17 mpg on the highway, but not a 4 speed with 4.59 gears. Thanks, Moot Can anybody confirm? I got 21 mpg over hundreds of thousands of miles with a 7.3 E350 so yes I can go easy...
