Three years ago, I sold my last modern truck -- my 2015 Ram 3500 Crew Cab duallie. Replaced it with a 2014 E-350 Superduty (15-pass extended version) with the Quigley 4x4 conversion. I'm never going back to a pickup. If the Quigley can't tow it, I have access to my work truck, an '84 359 Pete. The van has a solid vinyl floor, vinyl seats, cruise control and an am-fm radio. To clean it, I open all the doors and run the leaf blower. I can sleep in in. I haul trash to the dump in it. Gas cans. Chain saws. I 've filled it up with nearly a cord of split firewood. It tows the '49 on a trailer very nicely. Does a nice job with the Boston Whaler and the 23-ft Precision sail boat.

5.4L v-8. Love my van. Trucks aren't trucks anymore. If I actually need a pickup for something, I still have the '49.
