Best truck/van for TV pickup.

[bgadow]

I had an older full-size GM van; those, & the old Ford/Dodge competitors, are extremely versatile vehicles. Right now my company vehicle is a Transit Connect. It's been reliable enough & the last time I checked it was averaging 29mpg, and that's with it idling most of the day. My biggest complaint is that FoMoCo exerted no effort whatsoever in balancing that engine. You can't leave anything light weight sitting around because at idle it will shake everything until it falls on the floor.

You may be right, but in my experience, those (ford focus-based models) have very weak motor mounts that always wear out and then the car vibrates annoyingly.
