I'm in the market to purchase a used cargo van for my start up clothing company. I have heard that ford engines are much more superior to chevy. With that being said what are things to look for in used cars?

I have also seen natural gas e250's does anyone have any pros and cons on these alternative gas engines?

Any information you can post on is appreciated.

 

You can get a diesel in the Ford vans, I know that. I think it's still the 7.3L Power Stroke, don't know when the 6.0L will make it to the vans.

 

The Ford vans were really popular in fleet line more because they had more legroom than the pre 1998 chevy's now I will prolly get flamed for this one, but imo if you are looking at a 98 or newer van then either will be good. If you want an older one then go with the ford. It will run better and has more room for the driver. Plus I think the payload is slightly higher in the ford.
