I'd get the 12 passenger in the Ford due to the longer rear overhang . The overhang on the Chevy is the same in the 12 or 15 passenger version.
Wouldn't the longer wheelbase of the Chevy make for a more stable vehicle towing than the longer rear overhang of the Ford?
Jerome did not say.that all, but he IS recommending ONLY the 12 passenger Ford due to.the shorter overhang vs the 15 passenger having an equal WB to the 12 passenger. With that said, one can make either Ford van a safe and sane tow rig. The 15 passenger takes a bit more patience.
The GM AND Sprinter vans have a longer WB in the 15 passenger versions. Other brands may too.
Sprinters, not too clear by my last post, have 4we options from the 1500 up to 3500 models in both SW and DW options. While lower in HP, this could be an.advantage to some people. Yes slower on hwy, but if off-road or in a slime traction situation, it should get to end place, vs others may get to sticky place quicker, they do not get to end destination! Tortoise vs hair race.
