Both Ford and Dodge use the same chassis for their monster long vans as they do for the regular length vans. This means that a 15 passeneger van made by Ford will have a big long rear overhang. The same 15 passenger van made by GM will have a lengthened mid section in the frame to put the rear axle near the rear bumper. This is a good thing that only GM does.
If your Ford is the long version, then you may have a rough ride. Maneuvering will be different than a pickup. That long overhang allows the tongue weight of the trailer more leverage to pop up your front end like a teeter totter.
The vans, esepecially one ton vans, are built very tough. Just as tough as the pickup. The ratings often are just as high but the unloaded weight can be higher, especially if it is a conversion van with a fancy interior.
