e-150 commercial cargo and recreational cargo?

Question

e-150 recreational price $26535-commercial price $23280=$3255!!!

what accounts for the 3255 difference? the specs seem the same and that's a (*&& (*!!X@X^%^ of soundproofing

does the higher weight payload package give a base for a sport suspension mod or is it more buckboard only?

how's the limited slip work? is a locking axle more on the road more effective?

can the truck pull a 2500 lb trailer with the lower axle ratios?

does the truck need the $800 a/c for desert travel?

what mileage does a 150 get out on the road at 55?

I'm not sure, but the Recreational version is likely to have interior panels to cover the sheet metal.

I would suggest that ANY vehicle would benefit from an $800 air conditioner, especially in the desert. In many areas, a vehicle without A/C can not be sold because nobody wants it. I think you should consider A/C as standard equipment, and if it isn't standard, then you must order it. In any case, you will certainly enjoy it/wish you had it when the temp is 100+.

I would also consider at least a E250 because the rear suspension in a E150 is pretty light duty and even a E250 is not the match of a F250 in rear suspension but better than a E150 and this would help a lot towing.

Pay $800 for the life support systems, you will be happy you did. More accurately, you will wish you did if you don't.
