Towing with a minivan
Hi, I'm new here. I am a bit overwhelmed by all the reading I've been doing so I decided to join here to be able to talk to others who are more experienced. My mother and I are talking about travel...

Best case would be if you could find a standard length (not extended) Ford E-350 van with the V10 engine...I'd definitely try to find a standard length one..
Gee, I resemble this comment, and would agree (my v-10 seems to just be starting to break itself in). My rig is in my signature. I ordered from factory back in 2000, has 144000, no problems to date, only started towing last year, so it wasn't driven hard, but has taken our family of 5 on many trips sans towings. I am on the upper limit of the E-350 capacity with my trailer, and it stills does just fine. A bit less weight and it would tow very nicely indeed. I sit higher than anyone in a pickup truck, except the big boys (tractor trailers), and my front end is not as deep as a pickup. I've probably looking in the future to move to a F-350, but each time I look I like their capabilities for towing, but I really like my van!!!!!
