excellent point on the 4 wheel drive aspect.  not sure if that would be a make or break deal with me though, but something to think about.  hogone

I curse at 65 mph sometimes too!  Tongue

We used to tow a 3 horse trailer with a Dodge van years ago, which figures out at around 10,000 lbs. Did a good job.  There are times, however , when 4 wheel drive is important.  I haven't seen a van conversion for years.  For example , after a rain, I need the 4WD to get up the hill to the barn where I keep the trailer.  And I have encountered snow in the mountains in July.  One 4th of July we woke up to 4" of snow on the camper in central Idaho.

nice!!!!  if one were to build to their liking, what axle ratio would be best; 3.73 or 4.10 (non-slip or limited)?  pretty green here on axle ratios!!  just looking at ford website at the recreational 350.  i am only assuming probably rare on a dealer lot.  obviously not doing this today, but i get excited for future.  hogone
