thanx man its an 09 with 35k miles on it so ide say i like it also lol

really though that pink astro van wighed about 14k lbs and my bmw wouldnt have lasted long at all and thats to bad nothing like riding in pure comfort and style with 26mpg lol.

the dually i have read up on alot, and i think its possible to get 22mpg out of it on a 30 gallon tank emagine that 660 miles per tank is bad ***
