[NSRCA-discussion] New Vehicle

[Bob Kane]

Ford F-250 Crew Cab with a cap on the bed.  Two wooden closet rods across the bed with foam pipe insulation to carry the planes. The beds on F-250's are 6-3/4 feet,  a pattern plane fits in lengthwise nicely.  I could easily carry 4 planes.  You don't have to be a packaging engineer to fit everything you (and 3 other full sized adults) might need.

It does not need a safety rating, people get out of your way on the highway.

Also works nicely to tow the high school marching band trailer full of instruments.

OK question. What would one expect to pay for a Toyota or Honda van vs: the Chryslers? Also what does GM make van wise that's decent anymore? Thanks, Mike

I wish Ford still made a van. I really like my 2003 Windstar.
