I am just thankful that the motor held together long enough to get us to a safe location. Thanks for all the tips and suggestions. This rental Van have has me seriously considering a 2010-2012 E-series 12 passenger van as my next TV. It's been a real pleasure to drive, very manuverable, about 2700 ish lbs of payload, E rated tires, Tons of power. Excellent visibility (awesome actually), and I am knocking down 14.7 mpg mixed driving! I could see this working well as my DD.
This thing has a 5.4, is a 2013, and I could swear it has more power than my old 99 V10 ( I know it has more HP and slightly less tq)
The tow rating has me puzzled though. Its rated for around 7400 lbs... The F250 with the same (or less) payload, motor, tires, and axle ratio is rated for nearly 10,000 lbs... (Had to go back a few years to find a 5.4 powered F250)
Thanks
