Van for towing?
Thinking of a new TV in the near future. I've always had trucks, and put a cap on first thing. For me the bed is useless without one, firewood, generator, etc needs to be covered, and more secure out ...

I have been driving full sized passenger vans for almost 30 years. Even though we were only a family of 4 the extra space inside was awesome ! We only had a pop-up so when camping the extra space was very important. When the kids go older, our current van became a "moving van". Back and forth to college and everything else that would fit inside, without the seats. Because we were never hauling heavy stuff, we only had an E150 Chateau Club Wagon.
Within 5 years of my daughter getting married, she had 4 kids (2 sets of twins will do that !) She absolutely refuse to buy a van, so they use a extended length Expedition (9,000 lbs max). Looks nicer, but it can not hold as much.
Chevy is the only one still making a "full sized" van. The Ford Transit (NOT the Transit Connect) can not tow nearly as much as the old E-Series vans (5,000 lbs max). Stay away from the RAM Promasters.
