I ended up missing out on that diesel E-250 due to being out of town for work. The picking have been slim for other diesel vans so I decided to just suffer with a gas van for the time being.
I picked up this 96 E-350 for $750 cash. It has a 5.8L V8 with 190k on it. It should work well as a tow vehicle for the next few years until I find the proper diesel rape van.

Here is a great tow vehicle. 2001 GMC 2500XL Yukon.
While not the best on MPG it is a rust free California truck with a great drive train. Floater axles, 6.0 LS motor and 4LE80-E trans. Great deal for $5k

I forgot that I had found Track's theme song. It's weird, every single time he walks through a door this starts playing.

Just bought a 2014 ram with the v6 and towing package as a daily. I don't plan to tow in the near futur, so even if fuel economy is not as good as the v8 while towing, i think the savings done everyday should more than compensate.
Plus, the v6 really has some punch with the 8 speed tranny!

We were waiting for V8 Hemi 5.7L AND 8 speeds and it never came to try it. So we're looking for a C class motorhome, perfect for track day and have fun with the kids on weekends.
Any of you guys are using motorhome to tow your car ?

Tuned my 6.0 Ford's ECM, TCM, and FICM last week. I'm now in the 800+ ft lbs club. Was also able to increase shift firmness, use VGT as jake brake under decel, and keep the torque converter locked under more conditions. Acceleration and throttle resonse are so much better now, and my real time MPG display is showing a 3 mpg increase. I can't wait to tow something.
If you have a 6.0, GET A TUNE. The difference is amazing.
