Rented one of these for a bit for work to use for deliveries, so I can't comment on the reliability, but I can't imagine it's good based on the apparent build quality of this van. The power/ handling was fine, but traction in rain / on gravel was terrible. The build quality seemed to be very poor - the outside is covered in plastic trim that is going to fade and look like crap in 2 years. The seats are like driving from a bar stood - very uncomfortable, the steering column doesn't adjust to a comfortable position, there is very little foot room for the driver's left leg, and I constantly banged my knees on the column climbing in and out. They were too cheap to put an armrest on the passenger seat, and too cheap to put a grab handle on the driver side A pillar. The interior handle for the doors is small - you can't grab it with gloves on. The pull to close the door is balanced wrong (too close to the hinges), so it takes extra effort to close the door. The left driver armrest is slanted downward, so it's useless. Parking brake is on the floor between the seats - why is it taking up cargo area instead of being a 3rd pedal? Shifter is awkwardly placed and blocks the climate control and radio. Only half the front windows open - why??? Rear door hinges and magnets didn't seem strong enough to keep the door open in a gust of wind. Differential and axle had rust on them at 4500 miles. the latches for the rear door have spikes that you can hit your head on climbing in and out. It looks to me light they cut every corner they could on this van to save money.

usinh for my plumbing company . Awesome driving van, very convieant . Great visibility . Blue tooth and reverse camra work great. I did not have a problem with the throttle body like the others I've read, but I did have a problem at about 9k miles with the fuel pump module. Just wouldn't start 1 day, dealer fixed it next day. I've always been a ford guy, I have been with the old econoline' s . They really were indestructible . I love this new transit van, currently have 20k on it. Let's hope they last like the E series.

We are a business that owns several different manufacture brand vans and box trucks. Our most recent purchase was this Transit . We love this van so far the size and access to the cargo area is great. The drive-ability of this van in city traffic is great also. The mirrors and window views are very good for traffic. I love everything about this van so far EXCEPT (there always has to be one of these) We have the 60/40 side doors . The 60 door has a hinge that holds the door at 90 degrees when opened the 40 door has nothing. When opened on a hill or in wind it blows back closed and is just a little annoying. I am surprised that after all the other little details that Ford thought of that they skimped on a tiny bracket to hold the door in position.

This van is poorly built, parts must be made in china. I have had nothing but problems with the air conditioner. I have less that 35,000 miles. side window rubber trim keep coming loose , have to glue it myself.

Had E250 had no problem with it, 195,000 on it. Got the new Transit 150 I have to say that it is the biggest piece of junk I have ever had to drive. Being 6' 2" and 220lbs. There is now comfort zone when driving and getting in and out. Hope Ford goes back and re-think there vans.
