They will NOT laugh.  They may give you some high-priced options
but they will not laugh.   Even if they did, it's still your problem
if you advertise the service that you cannot provide.

More likely, they will get confused.  If you get across to them what
you are trying to do, they will refer you to GM's large truck
division.  However, even if no such van is available from any company,
it is still your problem if you advertised service which depends on
such a van.
