Dear Scotty,
Do you think it's possible to get a reliable 4wd van for $5k or less? I live in Colorado and need 4wd.
A van for cargo/construction, or for people hauling?
Mercedes Sprinter is the only factory 4WD van that I know of. But you won't find one for $5k
There are aftermarket conversion companies, but they're also $50k+
For that kind of money, and if you're ok with AWD, Astro/Safari might be a good option.
Express/Savana also had a factory AWD option from 2003-2014. They are few and far between, and for $5k it will have one wheel already in the crusher.
How much do AWD Siennas cost there?
Chevrolet Astro Van comes to mind. But they will be at least 16+ years old by now.
