Re: GVW vs. curb weight? (no Audi content)

While I'm trying to avoid the thought of 1000 pounds of manure in a 4000,
I'm wondering how nice it would be in a mini van. Isn't that the vehicle
we were talking about in the first place?

Regardless, if you have ever really loaded up a 'Murican mini van you
will find out just how sappy the springs and shocks are.
