Not only did they leave out the 3rd row but they said what the hell we'll leave out the second row too!

Mitsu powered work van?

 

Wow thats different.

 

I dont think the outi is verry practical "4work" wether its got a second row or not.

 

This is what I was hiding from you, and this is also what I meant by shock thread heading your way.


I've been carrying my tools in many different vans for years and I can assure you the Outie is perfect for me, "space is enormous for UK light van,taligate lifts high no more stooping down, also side doors, no more back ache from climing in from the back where there's no side access. I can also swing my generator onto the projected tailgate without fear of taking the rear tail light with it.If you meant carrying rubble etc I can understand what you mean but for me it's just to get me and my equipment to the job,couldn't be better! You sure you don't want one? With the extra space you could swap that gun under your tray for a misile. lol

 

I see what you mean Z, but for the money, its just not worth it, at least with all the other options we have in the states. Sure you will be rolling to work in style, but I'm not sure the outlander is the best platform for a commercial vehicle, not many industries wouldchoose it for them, at leasthere in the states, due to the cost. They could get something else bigger and cheaper.

 

I'm right with you there asto whether the cost isbeing worth it or not, it's the same here too in the UK, there won't be too many people buying them just to go to work for sure, the hardcore off-road Mitsu's yes but I don't think the outie.I myself could go get something much cheaper which would dothe samejob but you know what my problem there is? I'm the kind of fool who'll have a practical van for work and also an expensive car at home sitting on my driveway doing nothing for 95% of the year with me finding the lamest of excuses to drive it, done it too many times before often keeping them for less than a year and I never learn, I can't help it I'm into my cars too much. At least now I don't feel guilty about my Outies purpose and I most definately won't need to sell it off due to cob web accumulation. Outie's here to stay!

 

He listed many reasons in the other forum for why he bought it. Gas mileage was one. Theres no work van out there getting this kind of gas mileage. Our ford e350 is getting between 12 and 14 miles per gallon. Thats 2 wheel drive with no 4 wheel drive option. Well when he signs back on he will update you more.

 

antlip, I think the U.S expression I need tousenow after your post is "WORD!"

 

Seems we responded the same time. Well you beat me by about 10 seconds haha. I think you made a good decision. The best part about it is that you wont have this huge ugly van if you want to run to the store. They are a big pain in the butt. Some times hard to see out of with blind spots. Drive like crap. No cool options, no navigation. You have a luxury work vehicle that you can drive to the store when you want.
