 I received this vehicle in 1999 as a work vehicle working for a Safe and Alarm company.In other words I needed to carry a lot of weight, like 800 to at least 1,000 lbs.Had a sway bar, extra half leaf and air bags installed on the rear.This van provided an amazing amount of demanding service!Always got about 14 to 15 mpg no matter what I carried, 0 to 1,000 lb.Tranny replaced at 272K (auto), Engine in chassis rebuild at 284, but bearings were still in great shape - did it because head gasket had to be replaced.Has 430K now and still going strong, not as a work vehicle, my personal. Sold it at 438K only because I could not take it with me when I moved out of state.Weak point is brakes, but mostly due to weight - rotors every 60k.Still like it a lot....Synthetic every 10k.
