I purchased this van to replace an aging Ford model. Due to the nature of my work, these vehicles tend to be driven until they literally begin falling apart. I've driven the Chevy for > 180,000 miles and have yet to have any real issues. Aside from some slight cosmetic blemishes from rust on the bumpers, it runs, drives, and looks exactly like it did the day I bought it. It should be noted that, per the service manual, I did have a significant tune-up at 150,000 (belts, spark plugs, radiator flush, etc.), but that's the only major work that's been preformed. This thing tows like a pack horse, and is built like a tank. Unfortunately for Ford, I'll keep buying these vans until they stop making them.
