Any chance anyone has one? I’m about to buy a new one for our head painter. I like the cost, engine size (small for better gas consumption), it rides pretty nice etc.
My first concern was the size, but again, for our head painter, it should be more than adequate for what he needs to haul around.
Opinions/Thoughts?

Pretty slick Neil.
Thanks for pointing it out. If for some reason I back off in what I do now, come to the realization that no one can keep doing the same hard work into their golden years................
or just plain back off and specialize in something that requires less stuff, it looks interesting.
Up till now those dodge/freightliner tall deisel vans had caught my eye. I'd still have to wait for good used low miles-lease return maybe-but now there's another option in maybe 3 yrs.
What's the cost?
Didn't see it mentioned-ladder racks available?
Cost seems to be between 20 and 22k depending on options and upfit package. I'll likely order the racks and shelves with the van.
Racks look like they're pretty light duty, ladders only. They mount directly to four screw holes in the roof. I have the dealer looking into how much weight they can carry, he wasn't sure when I asked.
They have very little space inside, the cargo area is about 4x6 once you install the shelves, so you can't even carry an 8' piece of plywood.
Thanks Neil
You know, after getting into photo shooting I learned to appreciate the effectiveness of a wide angle lens.
I've seen a couple of those on the road. They look from the outside like they'd be ideal for folks who need a light van for a work vehicle. Haven't gotten to look at one close up, though.
