It looks like Ford is getting ready to replace/augment the mod motors.
They've got a larger bore center, larger displacement engine under
development slated for the trucks.

This one was based upon a van but also had space above the cab.

My total for truck, trailer and insurance (forgot to call my agent to see
if I was insured before I left so I opted for coverage) was just over $500.
Round trip would have been another grand because they use the in-town mileage
rate.
