My name is Tom. I ride a recumbent bike and I like to kayak. I do all of this in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan. I am considering the purchase of a Ford van for use as a toy hauler and part time bare-bones camper.
I would love a diesel for its long life and cheap (currently) fuel price. My main concern with a diesel is the rediculously cold weather we have during some Winters. I would love to hear the experiences of anyone who has used a Ford diesel in extended cold weather.
Is a 4x4 van worth the extra money if I do not intend to go off-road?
