Default Towing with a minivan

The horsepower on my 95 Windstar was 156, but this was upped to about 200

least 200 and the van has far better power to pull the boat than the 2000
Chev Venture it replaced.


That's good to hear - the 3.4 Venture is 185 published hp.

In 1995 the Ford 3.8 was 155, then 200 in 1996 when the 3.0 became
available(at 150hp). I didn't realize it was that high for the 3.8.
That kinda' kicks the GM 4.3(Astro/Safari) at only 190hp.
