If it makes you feel better, today we only got 8mpg while pulling our sno-cat (with a Duramax even) at 80mph down the freeway. ;)

fyi, it's not a van...

I wanted a red or blue one with a v8 (327 and those one's HAUL!!!!).  Had 
to
settle for a completely loaded white one though.  Leather, DVD for the 
kids,
heated seats and seat backs, blinkers on the mirrors, air ride suspension
(this rig rides better than any car I've ever had) etc.  It's also nearly 
a
foot and a half longer than the standard version.  So when you get one 
make
sure you look for the one with the 3rd seat.

These are the same thing as the Chevy Trailblazer.

The XUV version looks pretty interesting too.  I ALMOST got one of them,
didn't like the sales guy though so I walked out on the deal.

They have some of those on ebay too:

If we could get a van like that financed I would be in heaven - my main
benefit is just as you said, everything stays warm.  Steel and cold just
do
not mix.

I just picked up an '04 GMC Envoy XL.  It's the one with the 3rd seat.
I'm
only getting 16 to 17 mpg with it but it's cheap to insure and is 
totally
loaded.  It was just over $13k for a 50,000 mile rig with no real flaws.
I
did end up having to replace the radiator already, but that didn't show
up
at first.

The ladder sits on top nicely and is easy to reach.  Everything else 
sits
well inside.  As a bonus all of my tools etc. stay warm in the winter 
and
cold in the summer.

The 4 wheel drive has been really nice this winter too.

Best of all?  No one else drives around with a ladder on top of one.
EVERYONE knows my rig.  That alone is a nice sales too.

What does everyone use for a service vehicle?  We have an 1999 f250
that is at the end of it's road.  It has the cabinets and ladder racks
to put al our stuff in.

Our tower climber for those picky tower owners has a brand new Dodge.
If you haven't seen these check them out.  If we could afford these I
wouldn't be asking :(
