That has the potential to be a fantastic free candy van.

My mustang is whatever, I don't swing like Jason on them .

The ranger was the best selling light truck for the past nearly 20 years for a reason.... Not because I just because I owned one (as hard as it is to believe) .

Oh and LOL to a ranger getting the same gas mileage as every minivan for the same given year. What would you rather spend hours and hours in? A bare bones pile of shit pickup truck or a minivan made for moms to haul kids around in?

Also a minivan has the ability to have the cargo INSIDE and easily loadable where a ranger would need a bed cap and those suck trying to get things out of by yourself not to mention shit would get banged up in the back of a steel truck bed vs being on a carpeted floor.

i can honestly legitimately say i would much rather drive a stock minivan than a stock 2wd ranger. sorry.

and dasfinc. you are delusional. no matter what car you own or is your one past car... aka when explorers were the SHIT from you, or civics, or turds or airplanes or blah blah blah. they are always teh end all be all to any persons needs or desires...

vehicle that gets 30 mpg and is quick RANGER

vehicle that flies like a helicopter RANGER

VEHICLE THAT CURES AIDS RANGER

Why would someone choose a bare bones junk truck over something specifically made to carry people and children? Most mini vans are pretty plush and are made to carry some decent weight all while getting good mpg's.

guys, why would anyone need a semi truck when a ranger with a trailer hitch can do the same job?

guys, why would anyone need a boat when a ranger with inflated inner tubes tied to it can do the same job?

Don't forget that the only waste from the truck is kittens and rainbows.

Dasfinc has to be the biggest nut swinger ever on this board.


So anyways Mike I'd suggest looking at newer vehicles with higher mileage instead of older vehicles with less mileage. I think the mileage penalty is worth the added tech/reliability of a newer vehicle.

And MPG benefits of newer vehicles. As well as less time sitting out in the elements.

Only for RBV's (rangers/explorers)

I would much rather have a 2004 van with 50,000 miles on it then a 2009 van with 100,000 miles on it, due to the fact the newer van is definitly been beat on terribly in its short existance. I have worked for fed ex driving such vans and I can tell you they go very far overdue in oil changes and maintanace. the older low mile van had a much softer life and if driven by a soccer mom, oil changes were done religously, from my experiance working at a quick lube when I was in high school. plus there is no big jump in tech or fuel economy going from a 2004 to a 2009.

 

[Yaj Yak]

we talking fullsize van or mini van tho... i think mini and most minis are driven pretty easily i think .

 

[99PONTIACGP]

I've been looking into caravan, town and country etc.

I would really like an uplander. not the cargo one though. I would like seats that I could remove.

PIMP.

 

[99PONTIACGP]

Wish I could find one with the 3.9 for that much.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Turbo

The 3.9 is what's in your impala right?

 

[99PONTIACGP]

Yeah, I have the 3.9 in the Impala

 

[slowchevy]

Maybe look for one worth versatrak

My buddies dad has a 500k venture that he just let go. He delivers and says its been pretty good to him. It has the normal 3400 gasket problems and normal GM rust but its still a good van. I'd drive one as a DD and parts hauler.

This is what I would get. Yes its a cheap car but theyre peppy and cheap to drive and maintain. HAd a couple at Napa and our drivers beat the piss out of them. Still going strong
