My New Truck

My New Truck

After a couple of months searching Florida far-and-wide, I finally decided to go out of state and get my new T.V.  I had been looking for a 12-passenger Ford E-350 with the tow package (of course).  I would keep finding them outside of Florida, but never around here.  A while back I stumbled across AdventureVans in Charlotte, North Carolina.  They have an excellent selection of slightly used vans at very good prices.  The also had one that was pretty much just what I was looking for.

So I gave them a call and talked to them.  I explained my situation; I was three states away and couldn’t find what I was looking for around here.  They said to let them know when I could come up and look at it and they’d put it aside till I get there.

So I made the trip and ended up driving it home.  The folks at AdventureVans were excellent.  They were very easy to work with and were genuinely good people.  I highly recommend giving them a call if you are in the market for a slightly-used, low mileage van.

The van is a 2008 Ford E-350 with the 5.4L engine.  Axle ratio is 3.73, GCWR is 13,000.  I was very surprised at how well it rides.  Its got front and rear AC, AM/FM with CD stereo and speakers galore, power windows/locks/steering/brakes/etc…, back-up sensors, and a TON of room!  I am looking forward to pulling our trailer with this thing… I expect it’ll do just fine!

By the way… if you do call AdventureVans for a van, make sure you ask for Todd.  He’ll take good care of ya!
