    Choosing a vehicle for my Mobil business

    So far i checked out a Ford Escape a 97 3.0 Ranger and today i checked out a 2000 v8 magnum Durango but i cant decide. I absolutly love the interors of the Durangod but i am more of a Ford guy hehe. What are your views on a mobil Detailing vehicle/Daily driver

    Good deal Steve on the Equinox.

    5.0, I am a Ford guy also, but to tell you the truth, I think my 2-door Explorer is smaller than what I need for going Mobile. I make it work, but it is not fun loading and unloading it. The gas mileage isn`t that great either. I`ve been looking at F-150`s and 250`s for a bit now, SuperCrew (4 door).

    I`m using my Focus. There`s almost as much room as an Escape, gets 30+mpg, cheap insurance, cheap maintenance. It can tow 1000lbs which should be adequate enough for a small trailer. I`d like a Ranger but I`ve got to put too much toward my business to pay for the vehicle as well as the increased costs that go with it. I`m only doing it part time for now and most people come right to my house so I can`t justify going out and dropping $25k for with out having the business to back it up. Remember, no matter what you buy, a daily driver/work vehicle is nothing more than a throw away car. There`s landscaping guys around here who start out buying a brand new $40k diesel truck and then go bankrupt the next year. If your business can afford a truck, then by all means buy one, but if you`re just starting out your money is best spent elsewhere.
