    Hello!

    Hi everyone. I just bought a used 2017 TC cargo for a work vehicle. It has 63,000 km, and looks to be very well kept by the previous company that owned it. I found some business cards under the passenger seat for Tyco Integrated Fire & Security, which is a pretty big company, so they probably have high standards for vehicle maintenance. They also had it decked it out with Adrian Steel shelving, drawers, ladder rack, padlock brackets on the sliders and rear doors(!?) ...and a huge 1000w pure sine wave inverter! In 14 years of contracting for the phone company, I've used small sedans, minivans and trucks, and wanted something with proper shelves etc for a long time. It was only in the past few months that I had to seriously consider whether to fix up my tired 2008 Sierra 2wd, or buy a white cargo van. The company I was employed by told us that the phone was giving us a year to get a white vehicle 10 years old or less. Then they laid us off and re-hired us as sub-contractors, and not long after that, sold our division to a big international company. The safety standards of the new company are much higher, so it was coming down to the wire for me to be properly equipped. My 2008 Sierra 2wd is tired and needing new tires and mechanical work, so I decided it was too far gone. Plus, it's horrible on fuel, so when I saw the ad for the TC (before pictures were even added!) I nervously decided to take the plunge. I overthink everything, and rarely rush into things, but I'm so glad I did! Today was only my second day using it, and I'm not even fully organized yet, but holy crap this thing is AWESOME! I've found a few quirks already, but nothing major. Anyway, I don't want to ramble on. Thanks!
