very poor gps, no red light camera or school zone speed alert, only 61/2" screen, does not give traffic ahead report, my Garmin does all of this with a 7" screen for $300.00, no way to set tire pressure from the dash like the euro version does, its a major project, even my fusion can be set from dash, uncomfortable driver seat, bolster to short, seat too narrow, arm rest too short and not wide enough, they should use the f150 seats, privacy glass not dark its only 80/20 for $600.00. I got 95/5 limo tint for $300.00, all options way overpriced, they should make one more model up with more included options like ford pickup trucks, great folding mirrors stupid resetting for oil change, why not just a button, very poor engineering Cannot Toggle back and forth audio source, Must go thru all sources to get back, dodge has button for am,fm, and sat radio, This van needs the Mustang v8 Not a punny v6 engine wines at high rpm like a crotch rocket, this truck needs a v8 mustang motor like my 1986 e150 needs bigger engine without turbos for towing shift points too high, engine screams but goes nowhere needs wind stabilizer for low roof models DOES NOT come with cabin filter, but charged when in for service, HOW Cheap can Ford get, did NOT notice any drop in air from AC blower, Ford is getting worse. Too many steps to use GPS, hit start 1 time is enough Not 2 times, Cannot text someone, GPS waste of money, iphone maps does better job, No ahead traffic alerts, like iphones. could Not connect standard jumper cable to bolt under hood. WHY so many different size bolts to remove battery, dumb engineers. Just replaced battery, cost $60.00 labor to RR battery + plus price of battery, because of stupid DUMB location of battery, apple maps so much better than sync3, WHY does ford charge for update gps, Garmin and Apple are FREE

Transit 350 Med Roof with 3.5 Ecoboost

I have had this van for 5 months now - The Good: Tons of room inside Lots of seats, 12- to 15 -A/C and Heat, Front and Rear will keep you warm or hot -Good Radio for a factory System -Great view when driving -Love to stand up and walk to back of van -Great gas mileage for a giant box -Ecoboost engine has plenty of power -Smooth 6 speed transmission -Good ride quality The so so: -The side door opens great, but to close it you must have another door or window down, otherwise the interior pressure will not allow the door to completely close - the seats are just okay, they are a little strange in the back, they tried to divide the seats with humps and bumps, should have been a flat seat like to the old E350. The Bad: -No one at Ford ever drive the van because their is no where to put your left foot down on the drivers side -The back up camera is great, but the screen in the van is so small you can't make anything out, in fact it is dangerous it is so small The (passenger compartment- ie Ford where people and their stuff go) has a battery under the drivers front seat when their is plenty of room in the engine bay -Under the passenger front seat is a blower motor, that can be loud when on high, again lots of space in the engine compartment, or under the van for that matter -They forgot about the jack, so they just stuck it against the back side wall sitting in the open, again lots of room to put it in the engine bay or under the van, just cheap and lazy Ford - Ford Sync is a nightmare, some things you push the buttons on the dash, some you can talk to it, some switches are on the steering wheel, Sync doesn't understand any variations - only exact words, you can't say bluetooth, you have to say bluetooth audio. You can't say send a vehicle report, you have to say "send a vehicle health report" Like an old DOS programmer from the 70's designed this system.

Drives more like a minivan than a big truck. The back seats are a bit smaller. Plenty of room for kids.

Bought this for our church and love it so far. It’s only a 6cylinder but can’t feel the difference except on the gas mileage!

Ford transit ecoboost 150 250 review

After owning this van since 2015 I can say it is by far the fastest van I have ever driven, too fast, I have the ecoboost with 3.31 rear gear, but everything else is terrible, have had to replace 2 broken speed sensor rings just outside of warranty, Thanks Ford! seats are the worst I have ever sat in, little to no padding, no up and down adjustment options, the tires are crap after 20K and cannot be swapped with anything larger, slips around like a small car in the snow, never had these problems before in 25 years of driving vans, replaced drive shaft at 30K Miles??? the windows are so large and low on the side you can see the drivers pants, its like sitting in a fishbowl. I wish I could get my money back and go back to my old van, the 2 extra miles per gallon and ridiculous speed are not worth it. (blew the doors off a BMW race car yo yo) he must have been shocked. So if you want the fastest, most uncomfortable, fishbowl in the world, this van is for you. also, no more putting the bucket upside down between the seats for that 3rd person to come with, it wont fit anymore. they built a better motor in a worse truck, WTF!
