More snow! Oh No! Need get a 4x4, so van and 76 May go
Good day,
Been looking at 2007+ expeditions. $$$ ouch
So will need to let at least my vango, no pun intended!
And maybe the f150 also. Any one around here looking for
A good older van/pick-up
Thought I would put it out there in my tn chapter first
Thanks, Wayne

My thoughts?
Think smaller 4x4, maybe a Ranger with a V6
DON'T let go of the '76
OFF the van, they always get rotten mileage
It may seem like "BRAND X" thinking, but a jeep C-J of some kind or a Bronco, maybe Explorer would make a good 'Escape Vehicle' in bad weather.
You could also consider a full blown Expedition, but think about your fuel cost versus load you normally carry. You don't have to impress anyone except yourself...
*Brand X as in suggesting a jeep. But you can beat on a jeep and it keeps on "JEEPING"

I like the room of a van. And the expy would be a bit better on fuel!
We tow a smaller travel trailer, and would like a larger.
The straight 6 in my f150 would tow a house, but no power steering,
Air,and not enough room for family. Looked at explorer with large engine
Not that good on fuel/tow
Need to drop in a Eco boost in the van!
Love the ride and it's so nice, with the chariot package
With only 104k on the clock most I have looked at were 150k +

I know, 49,786.00
I about fell out! She is nice for 11k and the van
Really happy, hope I stay that way.
New to me, we need to bring services up to speed.
Not knowing history is well, ugly!
Thanks. Dutch
