In a message dated 97-03-27 21:53:10 EST, you write: << As a mini-van costs about $10,000 more than a small pickup is it worth the added expense? Do any of you use a SUV? Like? Dislike? >> Del, I went the SUV route (a Ford Bronco II) then moved up to an Aerostar for several years. Now I'm using a Ford Ranger with a commercial cap on the back. The Bronco was too short to fit actions easily. The Aerostar was nice but took a good while to heat or cool. The truck and cap I have now organize things well (swing up doors with shelves on the sides) and the big stuff is accessed by two swing open doors on the back. This seems to work a lot better for me than the van did as the organization is much easier to work with and the cab heats and cools VERY quickly (important feature in the hot summertimes here). So far this is my pick after experienceing the others. Oh yes, I forgot to mention the '63 Ford Fairlane 2 door hardtop that I had before that - but I didn't have to transport many actions back then <BG>. Hope this helps, Allan Allan L.
