I'm really liking the idea of a utility shell. My bikes are around 74" tip to tail with the wheel on and 44" tall. I'd really love to be able to have exterior toolboxes/access hatches, or a drawer system inside, so it'd need to be pretty tall. I handn't considered shells with windows being easier to break into, thanks for bringing that up.
My buddy bought a 2011 F350 6.2l gasser yesterday and we drove around in it last night. It's 6-12 inches longer than the van, and his wheelbase is about 6" longer. I think he had a 7 foot bed or so. It wasn't enormous, but it wasn't small either. Very little ground clearance underneath. That's about the biggest I'd want to go. Bikes would easily fit in the back. It was helpful topark it next to the van and compare size.
