Bedford Rascal

Mechanic here with no dog in the fight.

Get a Chevy for ease of maintenance and plentiful parts. Buy the best condition body you can find.

Fords suck to change plugs on and the 4.2 six is an underpowered hydro-locking grenade. I like my two F150s but hate those engines in a van. Chevy V8s are love. No six bangers, ever from either brand in those years.

Forget Dodge. Lesser salvage and aftermarket support.

Vans are tools to me. I can work on anything. I'd buy the Chevrolet.

Thats why I said "more reliable" desu

I was already leaning towards chevy just cause of past experiences. And youre right about the V8, I dont know why youd have a V6 in those things if people apparently have trouble going uphill in them and shit.

I have 2 friends with the older express 1500s with the v6.
they get almost 20 mpgs and one is just under 300k and the other is just over.
There have been transmission problems on both as well as fuel pump problems.
They dont seem under powered to me.
That said I just bought a 2009 express with AWD and the 5.3 V8 and I LOVE IT.
If I baby it I get 17mpgs onna hway

VW Wesfalia/Vanagon

I drive both on a near daily basis. If it was my money, I would go with the Chevy. The Ford feels cheaper, inside and out. Also the 6.8 is a pig of an engine.

Really? IWhevever I see one its usually being driven a 60year old university professor who collects butterflies.
