Could be wrong, been a while.
First, as everyone has suggested, make sure it's in good working order.
second run a ad on Craigs list.
Third buy a Ford Transit.
JOKe.
Have you though t about lowering it?
I would try to get the truck lower. Also

thank you for the comparison, very valuable. your tuck was likely a DI run by a computer so it would have done better than mine. how much load did you have, and hills?
went to a fair not long ago, visited a big craporate Ford display showing off all their new offerings. as part of one of their displays they offered this DIRECT comparison. 1) Dodge Sprinter 2) Chevy HHR 3) Ford Transit Connect.
tell me please, by which means are these 3 vehicles even remotely comparable
the rubber tires they ride on?
this is NOT a joke!
lowering, no. too much work/money. good idea though! i have found reducing profile helps quite a bit even if frontal area is only reduced marginally!
