What is the best suited SUV for commercial use?

I am purchasing a snack food route with a big territory. With the purchase, is a GMC Step truck (similar to a u-haul rental truck, two seater cab with a box cargo in the back.). This truck eats a lot of gas, and while it holds a lot of cargo, is not practical for day to day delivery.

Forget the idea of an SUV. Most would be no better
in MPG than the big truck, and are far from having
“ALOT of enclosed cargo space”.

As far as the 4WD part of a SUV is concerned, that
is what causes lower fuel mpg, and a much higher
cost initially as well as maintenance costs. You can
do much better in fuel economy, and still get around
pretty well with most any front wheel drive vehicle.
They maintain a good amount of traction, with good
steering, and handling under very poor weather
conditions of mud, snow, and water. (Nothing without
metal tracks, or chains works well on ice.) Rear
wheel drive vehicles require a good amount of extra
weight just ahead of the rear axle to work as well
as a front wheel drive vehicle. Weight over, or behind
the axle tends to take steering weight off the ground,
and can cause loss of control.

Your best bet to have good cargo space as well as
good passenger room, and good control under all
weather conditions would be with a mini-van. Not
the full size vans such as the Ford. Those are
mostly rear wheel drives.

Seating for passengers in vans can be of both the
fold down types as well as removable. Most can
have two rows of rear seats with some space
behind the last seat, and the hatch door.

I have a Plymouth van that I use for both cargo,
and passengers. (I just wish I would have waited
another year before getting it as to have had two
rear sliding doors.) The third seat is the type
that folds down, and since I seldom need the
three seats I took the middle seat out. That
gives me reasonable space behind the back
seat, and a lot of handy space right at the
side door.

If you would find it necessary to have even
more headroom, it is fairly easy to get and
install one of the high tops. Doing that even
provides extra room for shelving, and still
works well for passengers. If the third seat
would be needed, it can be easily put back
where it was.

Just as a note here, if you think you really
need 4WD, which I doubt very highly, the
Chrysler Corp. vans have had models of
their vans with a 4WD option. I thought I
would need one, but couldn’t get it as fast
as I wanted, so I got a 2WD. I am glad for
that choice. The only option that I really
needed was a spotlight. I did get that.
It is really good for extra light where I
need it at night whether it is to find an
address, or just to give me light outside
the van.

illegal parking, drop kerbs,turning circles commercial vehicles??

I live in a cul-de-sac and several of my neighbours park covering the whole foot path. They also have commercial vans parked in a turning circle and covering a fire hydrant. These vehicles in some instants are over dropped kerbs.
Is any of this illegal and can i get anyone to do something about it???
I have asked my neighbours to be more considerate and most just ignore the issue.
Feed back is appreciated.

OK – this is a very annoying situation because only one of the problems you mention are potentially illegal:

Parking on the pavement (even partially) is illegal in London. However, outside London, you “should not park on the pavement” as the the Highway Code states. (see below for meaning of “should not”)

Parking over dropped kerbs is not illegal – unfortunately! The Highway Code states: Do not stop or park…
* where the kerb has been lowered to help wheelchair users and powered mobility vehicles.
* in front of an entrance to a property

Similarly it states: Do not stop or park…
* anywhere you would prevent access for Emergency Services

So I guess that includes over Fire Hydrants?

Regarding the terms “should not” and “do not” written in the Highway Code. “failure to comply with the other rules of the Code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under the Traffic Acts to establish liability” http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070236

What I would recommend you do is contact your local police, as they will know more as to which, if any Acts or Regulations your neighbours could be contravening, and therefore, if there is anything you can do about it

Mini Van Commercial

Toyota Kenosha Dealer Feels 2011 Sienna May Be Just What You And Your Family Need

Moving away from that stereotypical mini van image, the 2011 Sienna is described by some as looking and driving more like a sedan. In fact, one wacky internet commercial for the Sienna has a “cool” young couple hauling their kids around town as they sing the praises of the new Sienna. The nerdy dad even has a nickname for it – his “swagger wagon”.

Cheesy as all this may sound, the 2011 Sienna is sleeker than any mini van to hit the market so far. With a sport SE model complete with side skirting, 19-inch alloy wheels which come standard, smoked tail lights and a sport-tuned suspension it comes off as stylish and fun. Add to that superior safety features, a roomy interior and a more fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine and it totals a hip-to-be-square ride. Toyota Kenosha dealers hope this model will have a wide appeal.

Standard is the four-cylinder engine with a 187-hp 2.7-liter gets 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. Also available is a 3.5-liter V6 averaging 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. Both have a six-speed automatic transmission. Buyers of Antioch used cars will appreciate the fuel efficiency of this family vehicle.

With five grades from a base Sienna to a Limited, with LE, SE and XLE in between, the Sienna come with some fun options. A rear-seat Dual View Entertainment Center which uses side-by-side displays to create one 16.4-inch wide screen is capable of splitting into two individual screens which can use input from separate sources. Seen from the third seat, it can be operated from anywhere in the vehicle.

Gurnee used car dealers have a wide selection of safe pre-owned vehicles, including mini vans. Of course even a “cool” mini van needs safety features and the Sienna has seven standard airbags. The frame is a bit wider and shorter and the drive is smoother, handling more like a car than a mini van. ABS, electronic brakeforce distribution, traction and stability control and brake assist are all standard as well. There is also the addition of a 180-degree panoramic camera to work while backing up in conjunction with the voice-activated DVD-based navigation system.

Deeply cushioned captain’s chairs are standard and comfortable. Weighing 49 pounds each, they can be removed to allow for large transports. Seat bottoms also tilt up and slide forward up to 25 inches for easy access to the third seat.

Optional second-row captain’s chairs, weighing in at 75 pounds, boast lounge seating and footrests. That’s right, footrests. Dad won’t argue about who drives this mini van. He will be content to kick back in the second row. Third row seats can be stowed and retrieved with one hand, or substitute the power-operated third row seat.

Dealers of Gurnee used cars remind customers that some upgrade models also have options like a pre-collision system, radar-based cruise control, emergency assistance button, roadside assistance and stolen vehicle location. Toyota also is hinting that a gasoline/electric hybrid mini van is in the works. Won’t that make for an interesting YouTube commercial? Toyota Kenosha dealers hope you will tune in to their great deals.

Toyota seems to have the formula for today’s jaded mini van buyers. One Toyota designer identified it as “cool, comfort and convenience”. Cost may be the fourth “c” that determines whether we are willing to put aside our aversion to mini vans. Sienna ranges from $24,260 to $39,770. It appears Toyota has truly come up with something for every budget and every lifestyle. Swagger on!
