One of these has definitely hauled more than the other, and i guarantee you it’s not the ford.

    I’ve done heavier towing in a van than that Ford can legally come close to. A digger in the back with 3.5 tons of equipment on a dual axel trailer.

    No one needs these pointless wastes if space. They’re a fashion statement not a working vehicle.

      A van is usually the same truck chassis driveline and engine as it’s comparable full-size truck, like, and econoline 150 is an F-150 on a van body. Only I can drop my 500lb spreaders directly off the hook of my crane into the bed. Literally same vehicle with different capabilities. Id have to torch a big hole in the top of your van to do that.

      Oh, and my full-size pickup gets 24mpg.

        Just ignoring trailers which is the whole claimed purpose of those ridiculous yank tanks.

        Oh and the hydraulic crane on my trailer had no issues getting stuff inside my van.

            I too need a 300 ton crane for 500 pound objects.

            Right tool for the right job.

              Jesus Christ you’re relentlessly toxic and ignorant. The rigging I’m talking about are the cables hanging below my 8000lb load block, rated for 60,000 lbs. they regularly lift close to their capacity. With other rigging, I regularly lift an upwards of 120,000lbs.

              Contractors don’t spend 4 million dollars on a crane that has 3/4 million lbs of counterweight just so I can swing the rigging around and look cool.

                    So mad I ran a successful business while morons like you load up on debt for these pieces of shit.

                    Also swearing is my natural state as an Aussie ya cunt.
