Ford vs Chevy van

Thinking about getting a van to replace 2007 Expedition as TV for 26' TT. Main objective is to get more power than a 5.4 and seat at least 7 people. It looks to me like that means a V-10 Ford or 6.0 Chevy? What are pros and cons on these? How new should I look for? Any years to avoid?

    I would recommend that you look for a 2010 and newer in the express. That was the first yeAar of the 6 speed transmission with the 6.0. I searched for 2014 so that I could find one with the backup camera and sensors.

    They appear to hold their value, so I ended up with a certified used Express that started life as a rental van in Florida. It was worth the extra couple thousand to have 40k less miles and full warranty for 2 years.
