    If you do have to make the trip, and will need to rent a van, better call early for that. I know a lot of rental places sold their fleets during the pandemic to stay afloat. Also, a lot of people have been moving.

    No issues there, I tool around in the Bling machine or as my son says, "a brick on wheels". Nissan NV 2500 SV or in more general terms, a 3/4 ton cargo van. I will need to unload a few tools but other than that, ready to rumble if I don't make a deal.

    I drove Dodge 3/4 ton cargo vans for 30 years but when it was sold to Mercedes- Benz 10 years ago or so I BALKED at paying over 50k for a frigging work truck.
    UHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO HELLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOO
    It's a good truck, Benz ships the engine & powertrain to Freightliner ( which Benz also now owns) from Germany to Spartanburg SC where the cabs are built but, expensive.
    Switched to Nissan in 2012, one of my better decisions! :)

    well, the shipment is BOOKED, $709.99
    WAY more than I wanted to pay but better than driving over 1800 miles round trip.
    Time is money & that would have been 2 maybe 3 days PLUS, a travel hangover

    Back in the days when I traveled extensively to dog shows I would have had a use for it, tho 3/4 ton would have been over-kill for my use. I love the 'truck' looking front!

    I like machines and mechanical things, I like cars and trucks, and I can pretend like maybe I can get one for my business some day.

    Now come on!

    Yeah, 1/2 ton would be fine in that case, dogs are not real heavy.
    I on the other hand use mine primarily for tools, basically a big lockable toolbox so a 3/4 ton is absolutely needed as tools tend to be heavy.

    Well, normally when my truck pulls up or is opened it's REQUIRED! to get out your pocketbook.
    As I am semi-retired I tend to CHERRY PICK jobs. translated that means I work for rich people pretty much.
    Are you rich? If not you have dialed a WRONG NUMBER!:p:hilarious:
    The point being, why hire a thoroughbred when a mule will do?
    No offense but the folks that hang in here would have trouble handling a mule, never mind a thoroughbred!:eek::oops::p:):singing:

    You SHOULD have asked earlier! when I was out getting it serviced for a road trip I am now not taking.
    Now, it's the hottest part of a Carolina dog day of summer type dealio and I am IN for the day. Or at least till this evening.
    I could open the second-floor window (where i am now) and take a snap but you couldn't see the inside.
