Joe et al,   How easy/difficult is it to import some of these diesel vans into Canada?  After that, how easy/difficult to import into the US.  Could someone make a business of it?  Will it be made any easier next year when the floodgates open for diesels?   Fred From: Joe Street <[EMAIL PROTECTED

Yeah, unfortunatly the selection of diesel vehicals in the US is terrible -- elsewhere pretty much any vehical any manufacturer is available in diesel. Here, it's just odd old cars, or 3/4 ton trucks and larger Canada is a little better, but I am not sure of the details of exactly what is ava

A Toyo would be a much better deal than a big huge Ford but I don't think you'l be able to find one in the US. I've looked with no success. You *may* be able to bring one in from Canada or some people buy a diesel engine from Japan and swap. I gave it a pretty good shot myself, then decided t

Hello Luke, welcome I don't think you're after a US-made behemoth. Some months ago someone in the US asked me this question. I recommended that they try to find a Toyota TownAce, which is what we have here in Japan. Second-hand TownAces are exported from Japan worldwide, including to the US (v

Yeah, for that size, a Ford or Chevy is probably the best bet. I am not a fan of these engines -- complicated because they are V-8's instead of inline designs, and impossible to work on because of the van body. But the only other thing to suggest is is a Isuzu NPR or Mitsubishi Fuso -- much easi
