I bought my little van the end of March and am anxious to see how it does with my work .. So far it has been a great van , very comfortable, easy to navigate turns ... Navigation on the dash takes some time to get use to but over all could not ask for anything better .. Well it's been a little over 2 years now and it still runs as good as the day I bought it .. I took it on a trip last year to Orlando, Fl and it got almost 34.5 miles to the gallon cruising at 75 mph .. Wish it had a bigger gas tank than 15.5 gallons .. I love my Transit but the resale value is not good .. For a vehicle being only 2 years old I can't get but 12 grand on trade it .. And it's a loaded one not a cargo van ...

Be prepared for abundant harrassment by warning lights, chimes (way too loud) and occasionally the horn. The windshield pillar reinforcements cause blind spots especially dangerous to impulsive pedestrians at crosswalks. The I.M. says not to run the wipers in dry conditions, but of course this happens accidentally on account of their bizarre stalk controls. The van lurches during braking, acceleration, and on right angle turns around town. In hot weather the dashboard turns into a huge, hot radiator. In foggy or rainy weather, when backing up it is necessary to turn the headlights off in order to see the tiny backup camera screen. The steering wheel interferes with seeing most of the instruments including the speedometer The exterior lights are rigged so that they can stay on indefinitely when you open and shut doors, as for a thorough cleaning, thus threatening to discharge the battery. On the + side, it has plenty of pep which is why I think it outsells the anemic Nissan 200 although the Nissan has a better, more business-like interior. Both brands have good seats using woven material. The Ford's select shift worked well climbing 5500 feet up to Flagstaff, AZ at 70 mph. It kept going through the flooded streets of Tucson the rainy summer of 2017.

I bought this van for my business, and it's been great. It holds all my stuff and it's easy to park in the city. The wide wheel base and rounded front end lets it slip easily into (and out of) tight spaces. I originally found the acceleration sluggish, until I simply moved the shifter from D to S (Selectshift). I was shocked at the improved acceleration! I wish I'd known about it earlier. Now it's the only way I drive it. I've had it a little over a year, and so far I love it.

I’ve now owned this guy 5 years. It was in a dealership 3 months ago for the FIRST time, due to a ‘shift cable bushing’ recall replacement. Took them 30 minutes.in and out. I am just over 50k miles now. I have 3 vehicles. Toyota truck, Lexus GS350 and this one. I drive the van the most. It just FUN to drive. Very nimble. Quick steering. One must keep their foot in it of course…being a 4 banger. But it boogies. I consistently drive it 80-85 on freeways here in nor cal. No issues keeping up. It IS noisy. Mine LWB cargo van, empty. Purchased originally to haul music gear to gigs. When I tell people it’s noisy, they laugh….being that I’m about 1/2 deaf playing in rock bands most of my life. I’m 68 now and STILL play in rock bands. The van has been stellar for me. No real complaints. The Nissan and Ram equivalents did not compare even close to me. I would pay big money for a turbo or supercharger if someone made one. That would be one insane ride!

Features such as fold down seats are wonderful. Seats fold completely flat or you can choose to fold some down, but not others. Great for hauling Grandkids & car seats, Grandma & her walker. Lots of head room, leg room, adjustable seats/ lumbar. Not without some road noise tho. Great vehicle to drive and easy to haul whatever you buy at the rummage sales or the home stores.
