I might have to purchase a new van for my business. I have always bought ford vans but looked at the chevy cargo express yesterday and thought it looked quite nice. It also comes with a 5 year 100k mile warranty.
I have had two ford e 350 cube vans over the past 20 years. I am thinking about downsizing to a regular cargo van 250 or 350 size. Obviously the 350 carries more weight. Anybody have any opinions on the chevy vans? I know the limitations of the ford vans. AC units seem to always break right about when the warranty runs out. On Maui I gotta have ac, its not optional IMO.
Any input would be appreciated. My local ford dealer has a half dozen 2008 models left over that they would be willing to deal on. Chevy dealer has 3 2500 cargo express models available.
Is it possible to upgrade the springs/shocks on a 250 model so it can carry more weight? Or if I am gonna be loading the van at/near its max capacity should I just spend the extra $ now and get the 350 model?
Dodge dealer on Maui is done. So a dodge sprinter van is not an option.
thanks guys
