This car has provided us with a means of transporting shipments in a fast and efficient manor. It has performed whatever task we needed from it while also being fuel efficient.

I am a physically challenge guy who uses a power w/c. Since I'm 6'2" tall I require a vehicle with a lot of headroom. My faithful 92 E-150 had a raised roof but after 16 winter road salt seasons, it was getting all rusted out underneath. Not safe anymore. New w/c vans cost $50K+. I was able to put a Bruan lift in a new Trancon for just under $30K total, and Ford sent me a rebate for $1,200. I get 23 mpg in mixed driving with the A/C on and thats what the Trancon is all about. The headroom is perfect for me. My main gripe is the rear springs are very stiff. Going over some interstate overpasses at 70 mph even with the 330 lb w/c lift in the back is brutal rough, but hay, it's a work truck.

Very difficult car. When it works, it's fabulous, but I have replaced a transmission and a motor in under 200,000 miles. I have regular maintenance records. I just got the late 150,000 dud model.
