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.
