I don't think either one will bee hard to get parts for
Everything engine, trans, etc..is of the shelf bus or truck parts, except the "torsilistic" suspension
And it's ALL heavier and costs more than the parts on your current tow vehicle
We have a 1995 Safari , with Cummins engine
Front brakes pads, rotors, calipers, labor total $1378
Two new front tires $800
Rear brakes pads, calipers, one rear seal, NO rotors $1178

I know the tires were about 7 years old
It's a matter of being prepared to pay the larger sums knowing, it won't happen again for a few years
