V 10 Problems

Looking for a NEW EB VAN Ford or Chevy Conversion.
I will be towing 3K-4K Boat/Trailer. 19 Foot Center Console Coastal Cruiser Aluminum Boat with a 125 yamaha.

Sounds like problems are a regular from all the posts.

Considering the EB Chevy Van with the 364 CU" as a Quigley 4WD option doesn't raise the Van height.

V 10 Problems

I need a Sportsmobile Van conversion that can tow a 19 foot Aluminum boat with a 125 Yamaha engine. Very Light towing package.

I Am leaning to the Chevy Quigley Van Conversion as it doesn't raise the vehicle ride height. I use a wheelchair and need to transfer into the vehichle so a lower ride height is in my interest.

Is Chevy's 364 cu" enough to tow 4000lbs>?
Or should I try and go with a Ford E 350 Quigley V10/or Diesel which adds 4" to ride height and maKING my Transfers from my wheelchair into the Van difficult. I could put 26" wheels and off road tires on my chair to offset that by I am not sure it will be enough. I Flyfish and off load a kayak on Sierras Lakesides and the surface is often inclined a bit.
The Quigley 4WD raises a Ford 4 " from a 1 Ton and zero from a Chevy????????

So is a 364 cu enough to tow?

Yup!

Have you gotten the towing specs from the Sportsmobile website? Most are close or up to 10,000lb capacity.
