[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 34012, member: 172"] Re: Advice with vehicle upgrade On the truck end of things, GVW is a factor to consider. A 16' box full of audio (or lighting) gear gets heavy fast, almost certainly putting you above what an e350 (or equivalent) chassis can handle, especially with the weight of the truck box and liftgate. Cab-over is a personal preference (and availability) thing, but I think it's a bit easier to drive in the city. On the smaller vehicle end of things, you want something that can fit a full-size handtruck. This means a hatchback, wagon, or SUV. Plenty of options in those vehicle classes, although the Ford Transit Connect is of note as it's available with a cargo body. [/QUOTE]
