Have you looked to see if a dual-range differential is available? This would essentially double the number of gears you currently have. Properly geared you could have good towing power and some great overdrive ratios.
.....sell the van and find the one out of a million CNG powered trucks out there with a stick shift and pull a trailer
Why CNG? I am not sure that CNG gets better mileage than 87 octane fuel. And would maybe a Sprinter with a diesel power plant get any better mpg? I have heard that they can get low to mid 20's.

You're right, Sprinters do get that good of mileage. However I'd have to pay $4.20/gal for diesel. My 14mpg at $1.27/gal is a much better deal.

I haven't. I thought those were reserved for the heavy duty trucks? I'll have to look.
