I need a one way cargo van.

Best used cargo van to meet these requirements?

• Hi, I am looking to buy a used cargo van, but am not all that knowledgeable about them so I am turning to the experts! Firstly, is there an easy way to check which makes/models of cargo vans have good / bad reputations? I'd rather not buy one that will be having loads of problems of course. My needs are mostly to be able to work from the van. I know they are made in various hauling capacity sizes, for example, Ford E-150, E-250, E-350, etc., with the 350 being able to hold the most weight. I don't need to haul any heavy weight, a 150-esque van class should be fine, but I am planning to set up a mobile office inside-- Desk, chair, power inverter, shelving, rear a/c, overhead lights w/ paneling, etc. Also, gas efficiency is of the utmost importance. Btw, is diesel a better option and do you really get that much more mileage out of it to justify the elevated cost? My budget is about $15000. I am guessing between the 2006 - 2010 range American made vans- Ford, Chevy, GMC, etc. Also, I would like one without windows in the rear if possible for cooling and safety reasons. Your help is greatly appreciated!

• Answer:

  I would check google for ratings on the vans. Chevy and GMC should have the same ratings as they are the same company. Diesels should get twice the milleage as a regular gas car because it runs cooler
