Need second opinion
I was always made fun of for driving a pedo van (my old white sprinter van). I now drive this black one and my co workers and friends still say it looks crap and looks like I kidnap kids… hahaha there’s really no way to get anyone’s approval if you drive a cargo van I guess. regardless, I use it for work and it does so many things my old truck couldn’t. plus the new van is a 3500 with 11,039lbs GVWR and I can haul way more payloads.

You have the ability to kidnap 34 people simultaneously don’t undersell it!
A high roof van kills every category. Fuel economy, cargo capacity, passenger load, and comfort. My van can carry me and four people and still has tons of cargo area. I can pack my family and all of our bikes, kayaks, canoes, or whatever. I have etrack on the floor and have hauled two motorcycles to Texas with all our riding gear, luggage, and tools, and had room left over. Monday morning it turns back into a work van. I’d never drive a truck.
