If my vending business ever gets big enough to need a big vehicle like this I would happily drive one of these trucks every day. I really liked it.
Careful with the NPRs, they may be reliable and fuel efficient but they are ridiculously expensive to maintain. I know, I have a Mitsubishi Fuso right now for my business and it's by far and away more expensive than a typical E-350 diesel despite 23 mpg.
