>tfw my grandparents used to drive a van like this (without the roof shell)
>it had a giant bench seat area in the rear with a fucking table you could screw into the floor
>and a little drop-down TV that got rabbit-ear-antenna reception
>nowadays vans are literally just giant "ok strap the kids in so they can be safe because Becky drives like shit" tanks with DVD players built into each headrest and NO FUCKING TABLES SCREWED INTO THE FLOOR

I can't sit facing rearward in moving vehicles unless I have wind blowing passed me or I start getting road sick/train sick

>>17365767
Do you offer people candy when they ride in your van?

>>17365767

Well think of it this way.

A practical cheap daily driver civic is $2000.

$2000 is a good chunk of fuel

The bench seats were at the farthest back, facing out sideways
>pic related, but without all the gaudy hippie shit
>and the table was round/octagonal shaped

>>17365888

damn, thats extremely comfy

>>17365767
pleb, I daily a zzw30 thats been unneccesarily lowered with wheels too big for wheel arches and spare tyre.

Would a diesel pickup be an impractical daily driver? I have no intention of towing. I just want the extra mileage and the cool noise. Also, I like to put my foot down. Do diesels have good acceleration?

TURN IT INTO A DAJIBAN

>I just want the extra mileage
Why not buy a Jetta TDI, Toyota Prius or Honda CRX then? No diesel in the world will get good mileage if it has to pull 7,500 lbs of useless truck around.

Imagine some Jap driving a LWB conversion van.

Nothing wrong with DD a van

Trust me anon, you don't want to be part of the diesel nightmare

>>17365933

yes, when compared to heavy duty class trucks especially from the 90s, a diesel is the way to go for fuel
problem is you are paying much more and parts can also be much more costly

other than that, there is nothing wrong with a diesel.
get a high temp thermostat which opens at 200f to keep your engine running hotter

My parents had an econoline with a table as well, also had a storage cabinet.

My mom currently has a E-series with the high roof. The back bench power folds into a bed and the rear facing bench can fold down as part of it too.

This guy I know drives an F350

7.2 diesel.
Diesel is $1.8 per litre, or $6.8 per US gallon

Its registered with two seats

Its registered as a standard passenger vehicle

It has a legal payload limit of 405kg/900 pounds

RWD

Never carries anything in it, or tows

I really don't fucking now why he has it

>>17366618
why is the payload so low on that truck?

>>17366648
Because its registered as a standard passenger vehicle, which here limits you to a total weight of 3500kg, meaning that the vehicle itself + whatever you're carrying must never exceed 3500kg

If it was registered as a "light truck/C1" then it could use its full capacity

Welcome to Europe

It kinda fits the type of vans and trucks we tend to use here as they are smaller and they are made to fit the regulations/regulations are made to fit them, but it gets kinda weird when you start applying them to the big american stuff

>>17366657
Max weight of a passenger car including load is 3500kg, thus that is the maximum if you have a license for only regular cars.
If you want to haul more you need to get a truck license, which isn't that retarded actually.
Imagine some retard who only drove <1ton shitboxes suddenly driving with 4 tons of cargo. Don't want to be the person in front of him when the light turns red.

>>17365878

only panel vans can be full pedo vans, shuttle vans are slightly less pedo.

>>17366618
Where is diesel 1.8 per litre?
In aus is only ~$1.25 AUD

>>17367601
Diesel in my country is US$0.65/L. Gas is US$1.1/L. Getting a diesel car is a no-brainer if you have to drive a lot or like to take long road trips

>>17365767
Does it got a built in CRT TV?

>Imagine some retard who only drove <1ton shitboxes suddenly driving with 4 tons of cargo.
Most Americans don't have to imagine, many people go from only driving a little econo shitbox to flat towing their car with a rental box truck cross country when they move, or rent huge RVs/trailers for camping trips. Lots of retardation but I've never seen one of those people actually cause an accident. People towing and launching boats with no experience is also hilarious, there's thousands of hours of boat ramp compliations and that's just what people catch on tape. My friend years ago saw a boat driving around slowly making weird sounds with a huge wake, a guy was screaming on the shore, his wife tried to launch the boat and just disconnected the trailer from the hitch, so the trailer was beneath the boat being pulled by the cable on the hull.
