I think the van scenario is going to be out given it's not a 4wd, we like to go up to banff area and off the beaten track, so yes... agree... 4wd best option.
Factory-approved 4WD can be installed on a "ship-through" basis by either QuadVan or Quigley. Quigely's are the more affordable option,while the QuadVan option drives better on and off-road, and is easier to service because it uses 100% Ford moving parts.
Dealers around here keep 4x4 vans in stock. If you want to see what's at the dealer down the road from me, click here and use the BODY menu to filter to "VANS 4x4".
Also, here's a nice example of a barely used QuadVan V10 4x4 pop-top for sale
Here's more examples: http://www.quadvan.com/product-category/4x4-vans
Thanks for that info and links. That pop-top looks fantastic!!
I was wondering, do you or anyone know much about this particular passenger van?
2014 GMC Savana 3500 1LS Rear-wheel Drive Passenger Van (altho on the build spec to see the price I selected AWD)
I looked on the gm canada site and did a comparison between the likes of the 2014 Ford E-350 Super Duty XL Wagon and the likes of the 014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Standard Roof V6 Sprinter 2500 Wagon 144 in followed by the 2014 Nissan NV Passenger NV3500 HD S V8 3dr Rear-wheel Drive Passenger and I thought that the specs 'on print' looked better than the E350.
Interestingly enough, the GMC and the Nissan were the only ones to offer airbags for the passengers other than the front occupants, interestingly enough again, the 2014 ford mentioned above particular Ford has less HP than the GMC....
Is there a huge difference in general between a 2500 and a 3500?
cheers, K7
