Expert Insight:

Why Front-Wheel Drive (FWD)?

You might ask why a commercial van uses FWD when most trucks use Rear-Wheel Drive. It comes down to utility and safety for Western PA business fleets.

The Tech: Transverse-mounted engine and transmission drive the front wheels directly, eliminating the driveshaft running to the back of the van.

The Result: Best-in-class lowest load floor for easier loading. Plus, the weight over the drive wheels provides superior traction in Western PA snow compared to empty RWD vans.

The 3.6L Pentastar is a workhorse, but it needs correct care to handle Western PA business cycles:

Owner’s Corner: Maintenance Mike Kelly Pro-Tips
  • Check Your Oil Cap: While many Pentastar engines use 0W-20, commercial variants sometimes vary. Always use the specified weight to avoid heavy-duty wear.
  • Transmission Fluid: Hauling max payloads? Have the fluid inspected every 60,000 miles to ensure longevity under load.
  • Coolant Flushes: Commercial vans run hot. Flush the coolant every 5 years or 100,000 miles to prevent overheating during summer jobs.
