Purchase price is higher than a van. The "economy" comes from more space in a similar footprint
The 12 foot trucks have single rear tires
We are planning 1-2 years on the road covering about 30K miles. This trip is kind of a "last hurrah" in the States before heading abroad for retirement.

Yes. I looked it up. Rented one last summer.
Cab sure can use sound isolation. Seats are terrible. See aftermarket. Mirrors can be improved (function & aero; start at VELVAC; best choice is airport shuttle type SET: it’s too easy to miss stuff).
I have yet to see a FEDEX Custom Critical with a Trailer Tail. Surprising. It’d be what I wanted. See also NOSE CONE
Crosswinds are the handling problem. Side Sail Area. Not to be downplayed. HENDERSONS LINE UP is the aftermarket supplier I would start with. No such thing as “acceptable” once out on the highway. Great, or ain’t. (But I’d go with HELWIG or ADDCO anti-roll bars).
