    I'm looking on getting a 2nd hand service vehicle for my shop. Must be auto, aircon and space is a priority.

    The logical choice is the revo/adventure.

    Fuel consumption of these 3 is probably the same or close.

    So it will come down to maintenance and parts availability of the suburban and e150, how is it?

    My budget for Maintenance is around 50K per year.

    How about an automatic crosswind? Its bigger than the Adventure and almost the same as a Revo, plus you get a very economical and workhorse engine which is a diesel. It may not be as powerful and fast as the gas fed counterpart, but sure you'll benefit from its economy and durability!

    also considering diesel. but my shop has asbu 100 meters away.

    The american SUVs are under consideration because of the space. There are times I need that big a space vs going two or 3 trips with my current service which is just an MPV.

    hmmm... a pick-up truck with a camper shell?

    if space is really a priority... A single cab strada or dmax and put a campershell on it...

    oh.. another alternative... get a nissan urvan or toyota hi-ace... remove several rows of seats behind....

    Basta alaga sa maintenace ang crosswind hindi yan mausok
    pag hinuli ka papuntahin mo sa may tambutso yung ASBU at paobserve
    mo yung tambutso tapos sabay pasok sa loob ng tsikot saka apakan mo gas pedal
    at pakita mong walang black smoke
    BTW
    how about the Ford Expedition
    the isuzu trooper also have a low price this days

    Walang problema ang FC? Why don't you go for an Expedition instead? Big, comfy, powerful, the typical American workhorse. Just stay away from air suspension units. Mura pa ang gas ngayon.

    uh... more room ba at air conditioned?

    Mitsubishi Rosa Coaster Van.... bigger space than Expedition or even Suburban.... Diesel Engine so it is more frugal... and you can even put a sofa inside for seating comfort
