[QUOTE="Vinny D'Agostino, post: 47438, member: 112"] Re: Moving gear in your van They are also a big jump in insurance rates as compared to a van or truck, for me it would have been almost $1000 per year MORE.......and I have a clean driving record....spotless actually...with never a single claim in almost 30-years. It is a real *commercial* vehicle and your insurance company knows it, while it's a great vehicle for a full time business, for a weekend warrior like myself I just couldn't justify the extra expense...along with the much higher price tag to purchase one. We have about 50 of them at my real day job, they all have over 150k on them and they all are in the shop pretty regularly for service. They are not as comfortable to drive as a pickup or van, they ride rough...you feel every bump in the road and the interior cabin is very noisey. You also can't stop them from f'n rusting!!!!! All of ours are 5-years old and the rust on them is pathetic, the door hinges come through rusty from the factory it seems. But, they do haul supplies with ease, they are easy to turn around and they sure seem like they have plenty of power. [/QUOTE]
