    Cool Little Work Van

    Saw this in Autoweek. It might be tough to carry our list of tools to the jobsite, but might fit the bill for those not needing a full size van.

    I saw an article a while ago saying that it is coming. I'm thinking that the 5 passenger version might make a decent dog hauler than can handle 3 or 4 people as well. Certainly different than other vans on the US market.

      It must really be difficult for them to get a picture of the engine with the hood open. (sarcasm)

      Some of us still do things to our vehilces and like to see clearances.

        Hopefully when it comes time to replace our current handicap vehicle, this would fit the bill and we won't have to pay for another lowered floor version. My daughter would still be able to see out the window while having head clearance and remain in her wheel chair. For our purpose, possibly the only handicap conversion needed would be to add a ramp/lift and anchor points for her wheel chair tie straps. This should be far more economical than the lowered floor vans. I’m kind of excited about this as our current van is a piece of @#$%.

          Those things are all over the place in Mexico doing daily duty for everything from florists, and caterers to construction contractors of all sorts. Sometimes a full size isn't the right answer for a task. There are times when I wish my F150 was as small as the Ranger it replaced... particularly when parking.

            I can see these things getting tricked out as a new class of mobile camper, the cargo area looks large enough for a queen sized sleeping area, and you could add some bits and pieces to make an awning on each side, and back...

            hmmm
