       My better half had been looking around for a van for work.
       He loves fords but didn't want another full size van.

       We looked at chrysler but found you could only get a 4
       cylinder engine and the bed was relatively small; not to
       mention the price was HIGH (guess Chrysler thinks they
       warrant more money).

       Even though my husband always hated chevy's (he owned a body
       shop and said they rot), I talked him into going to a chevy
       dealer to look at their mini van.

       Just perfect. It actually is a mini-van. A lot bigger than
       chrysler and comes with a available V-6 (he was concerned
       about carrying weight).

       Then went to a GMC dealer (my husband swears their
       suspension is better than a chevy) and ordered the truck.
       (mostly heavy duty payload and heavy duty options).  The bed
       is (don't quote me) I believe 1 foot shorter than a his full
       size ford.

       Best news, both the chevy dealer and the GMC gave us prices
       LOWER than Chrysler (with a heck of a lot more equipment
       too.)
