Re: [QUAD-L] Choosing a van ... Full or Mini

Some of the minis can pull trailers but you may need to add a transmission cooler that's meant for the extra load. It wont pull like a big van but with gas prices,,,go mini. I see BP as the better stock play in oil.   john    In a message dated 8/10/2005 5:01:15 P.M.

If you tow a housetrailer, ..... no the minis are not for you. If you have 8 people in your household,..... no the minis are not for you.   Know your needs.
