the new GMC/Chevy vans.. (wanna bet)

And their little big truck.

I keep hearing comments about the so called small wheels on the Euro vans, yet they are that same 16" as you have in America.
Must be because the van's taller so making the wheels look smaller ?.

My Volkswagen transporter had 15 inch wheels but uses heavy duty 8 ply tires. It was rated as a 1 ton.

I thought you were smarter than that.

trust me, I know transit outclass the Promaster everytime, and I rather have one. From what I have heard, better and quicker service at the dealership if needed or diy service if necessary, correct?

Front wheel drive is so appealing tho... I guess I just have to get high quality snow tires.

Ford Transit Custom Nugget Camper Van Is A Euro-Market Gem

Ford's new conversion van sleeps four adults and has its own kitchen and water supply. Unfortunately it's only available in select European markets.

They use what looks like cut vinyl tubing to hold the latch release in place.

When I sold my 2000 Chevy last month I included a free pair of needle nose vise grips to hold the top latch in place

Ford took no money and in my opinion makes a better product.

I agree, our econoline has generally been great. However, it ain't no Toyota!

I believe cars arent selling across all auto manufacturers

SUV and crossovers are king in the Northeast

Yep, I've got family getting rid of perfectly good suv's to buy pickups. Even "not" pickup people are buying them.

And at 50k for a pickup people are taking out much longer loans and have to keep cars/trucks way longer. I read somewhere a while back the avg. american keeps their vehicle for 11 years. That seems like a long time! The days of people getting new cars every few years is over, unless they lease and stay in debt forever.

Ford Transit Outsells All Rivals By A Wide Margin In Q4 2018

Ford Transit outsold all rivals during Q4 208, including the Chevy Express, GMC Savana, Ram ProMaster and Nissan NV.

It's really the only option. Unless you want a sprinter for 60k or an old looking Chevy(I actually think the savannas etc. look just fine. Imo, the Nissan and Dodge are niche products, impossible for them to sell as much as gm/ford.

Yeah, but Opel is already owned by GMC...

GM sold Opel to Peugeot in 2017.

PSA has made Opel profitable since the purchase, so it makes "GM sense" to lose money owning Opel and lose money on the sale and then come back and buy vans from them.
