Does anyone have much experience with these? We are thinking of getting one for my work, we haul batteries so it will always be loaded with 2500lbs or so. They are horribly ugly but we are not in the battery business to pick up chicks lol, are these things any good? I see lots of them but haven't really spoken to anyone that has one? Thanks

Thank you for the input, we currently use the Chevy 3500 Express vans with the 6.0. They are good, very reliable, and priced well. What sucks is that Chevrolet dropped some van production when they started to build the Colorado again. Because of that we can't get the Chevy vans with doors on both sides like we used to, and ford only offers that option with the tall box. This Promaster was just offered to us out of the blue with 20K on it already lettered up for our company, I need to find the previous owner and ask why because it is in perfect condition.

it is a 3.0 inline 4 cylinder with a very slushy automatic/manual transmission. transmission takes a lot of getting used to.easy explanation is.A manual transmission that has an external valve body that does the pushing in the clutch and shifting for you. Engine compartment very small, need to remove engine for most engine repairs.

Engine compartment very small, need to remove engine for most engine repairs. So it has a dual clutch transmission?
