Ford Motor Company purchased the vehicle back from us and we couldn’t be more pleased with them doing the right thing.

Have owned four years in February 2021 currently, still working well for our needs easy to handle, get the windows tinted to help the A/C. Takes up little space in the garage. Great head room. Update 3/5/19 Installed aftermarket roof rhino-racks and aero-bars, this was for a Thule pod, it helps when the in-laws visit, and we go camping, we are going to install a receiver hitch for bicycles this summer. Update 3/6/20 Receiver and rack and POD, really worked out for longer trip, We drove 4 adults and two kids to Moab, avg 26 MPG though varied elevation on a 2500 mile trip. The aftermarket racks can hold more than the stock ford rack, it was a pain to install the rails, pay a professional, if you do it yourself get cold quenched drill-bits the steel will dull anything else. We just returned from using the van to camp below MT Adams. It handled the unpaved roads well the washboard was a little hard but not bad the kid laughed at the water in the bottles bouncing around. Ford should offer camping improvement a 1"more clearance would be nice that being said we never bottomed out, and a bash plate still did not need but would be nice.

I have the 2018 transit connect long wheel base cargo van . I am a courier so I need room, fuel efficiency, confort, and power. This van has it all. I have put 230,000 miles on it in less than 3 years. I have not had one single problem out of it. I do keep on top of scheduled maintenance. I use only full synthetic oil. I regularly load it to the 1600 lb capacity. Even fully loaded it pulls mountains at 65 mph and would go faster if I pushed it. Gas mileage is usually anywhere from 27.5 to 31 mpg. Obviously higher on long freeway trips. I do notice a small drop off in perfomance now that it has so many miles but still a great van. If all goes well it will have over 300,000 on it at the end of this year.

Plenty of room for cargo and overall runs smooth. However, the vehicle sometimes hesitates before taking off from a complete stop. Also, the review camera often has an unclear picture. The dealer tells us this is normal because it does eventually clear up. What, what??
