Since we were all reminiscing, how about the Ford E350 with the 7.3 diesel? 1 million miles and I touched neither the engine nor transmission, 21 mpg loaded, poor van had 3 trans flushes and maybe 50 oil changes for that mileage lol (good thing it took 16 quarts)

Closest mentally I've got to an ideal newer van than my 2005 sprinter: Promaster 3500 diesel (with egr dpf def deleted) but then I think of the horrible m40 transmission jumping into neutral...

Why oh why can't they improve on a T1N sprinter? I have a choice of better fuel mileage and random unfixable problems, or horrible mileage and still not lasting as long as 15 year old vans...

If you're looking for the best van to buy, it really depends on what you'll be using it for. If you need it for your business, like a men and a van firm, then you'll want to consider factors such as cargo capacity, fuel efficiency, and durability. Take your time to research and find the perfect van that meets your needs and budget.
