If I wanted to buy a mini van for encap/portable work, what would recommend and why? Transit connect, Ram Pro City, Nissan NV200?

Stay away from Chrysler T&C constant issues past 60k miles
My Honda Odyssey was awesome for 9 years 110k miles

The Nissan is probably bulletproof and I love my full sized transit.

Kind of looks unrefined, but I’m sure the reliability is top notch. I will go with the Ford, my full-sized transit is like driving a car.

Ford and Chevrolet are the only vans I can get serviced in Pigsville.

Nissan nv200 has the best warranty for a work vehicle 5yrs-100k power train when I looked into it..
I have a 2016 passenger transitconnect long wheel base and a 2013 Nissan NV200 cargo.. I love the styling of the TC cargo van.. The cvt trans is the shit part about them.. NV200 got over 219k miles on it.. Trans crapped out about 214k miles..

I would go with the CONNECT. I think it would make the perfect vlm van. You could probably load everything without a ramp. Buy Mytee wheels for the porty, bam, you got it!

We bought a used Ram C/V with 85k just to see if we could keep it busy with high rise porty work. It's been surprisingly awesome.
Not as tall as others, but more room, more power, hauls more weight, better brakes. Suspension is different from the regular mini van. I put a thousand pounds of plastic in it and it handled it just fine.
