That first photo looks like every carpet layer's van heading off to their first job of the day! Of course most use an E150 conversion van, passenger rated tires, rear bumper almost touching the ground.

Right We was surprised to see how many tires receipts in glovebox. Problem it overload way too much it lift front end UP so it chaff front tires so fast it down to bald. It was $450-600 for tire sets that when gas price was cheaper back in 2000-2004 before it park since 2004.

i guess with that kind of abuse it makes sense. mine is distributed pretty evenly, with the front axle carrying a full 4000# and the rest on the rear, so mine don't wear funny, they just wear fast.

With that sort of use would it make more sense to haul all that in a trailer? Savings on tires alone would defray the trailer cost!

Agreed but we still don't understand why owner keeping buy new vans every 4 years.

95 E250 with 136K had smash oil pan and ****ed up rear suspension Sat since 2000
2000 E250 with 106K no idea what wrong with it. ****ed up whole suspension sat since 2004
2004 E350 with 140K it had 4 bent rims and suspension are worn out. Sat since 2007.
