Parking is a real issue for me.
I'm thinking about getting a mini!

There is the transit. That's about it.
Anybody doing service work in the big city?

Right now I have a collection of clc bags dedicated to dif work.
I keep them stocked with universally useful stuff
My old ride (don't ask) was great but has to go.

Thanks guys!
 
I bought a transit 2011 earlier this year. I do low voltage work mainly catv service. Not a large town 15k, but this vehicle is great so far. Very easy to customize. Lots of room, decent fuel milage,(20-23mpg) even when loaded and ladders on top. My only complaint is the transmission seems to have the desire to always be in overdrive. 30mph and the engine is lugging. There is a OD off switch that solves that though. Drives like a car, works like a truck. I generally have two fiberglass ladders on the roof and about 700lbs in the cargo. Never looks or feels overloaded.
