Bought my first van.
1500 2WD with the 5.3
It's a southern van so absolutely no rust anywhere. 185,000 miles but seems to be well cared for. It pulled 17 1/2 MPG on the 60 mile highway drive home if the computer is to be trusted.
The ladder racks and most, if not all, of the furniture inside will be removed and sold. I'm putting together a list of parts and repairs I have to do and will be getting my hands dirty next week. I'll also be hitting up the salvage yard for some upgraded seats and maybe a nicer steering wheel.
I'll be using it for my business building aluminum structures like screen rooms, pool enclosures and patio covers. The extra room and towing capacity will be nice.
Up till now I've been working out of the Grand Caravan parked behind it. It's been a surprisingly capable, comfortable and reliable vehicle but it has its limits.
