No vehicle is perfect
Bought new. I don't expect too much from the vehicles I buy as long as it gets the job done for me. I am a locksmith with pretty heavy load in the back all the time. After almost 50k miles, no major problem. When people have issues with their car usually they are quick to say bad about it then praise the other vehicles. Guess what, the owners of other vehicles do the same, Ford Chevy etc. Anyways the pros I see: 1. Great narrow turning radius because it's front wheel drive. I have Ford van truck dodge van. This van let's me make turn in one shot where I have to try twice with other vehicles. Uconnect is decent that my customers have no issue hearing me while I drive. Backup camera is a must. Awesome. There other pros but other cars have too so I am not gonna mention them all. Cons : yes you guessed it right! Headlight bulb. Mine lasted longer than the other people I guess but when it went out I got the led bulbs( you have to modify fitting some how to make it work) and they work great except it gives a lot of noise in the radio. I learned I have to put ferrite sleeves to reduce noice. I have not done that yet, I am too lazy. It has no effect on hands free talking. Door contact sensor seems to be off somewhat that when I thought the sliding door is completely shut and then lock the door using the remote I often find that the passenger door not locked because the side door. Now I make sure everything is locked. Somewhat inconvenient. Gas mileage is not great but regardless of which brands and models it takes certain amounts of energy to move the weight and all the Van's I drove gave me about the similar mileage so not too disappointed. Can't compare to Ford transit or sprinter since I haven't dove those but I wish they came out with V8 engines because it revs quite a bit when I drove up to Lake Tahoe when the van was brand new and no cargo in the back.

After Hours Of Research, I Found The Perfect Van!
This is my first van of any type. I needed a van/truck for my event lighting business. I needed something I could park on the street in front of my house. I am 5' 11" so I wanted something I could stand-up in. There didn't seem to be a whole lot of choices in the class of vehicle I needed. It was between the Nissan NV, Ford Transit 2500 or the Ram 2500. I didn't like the look of the Nissan NV. Looks too much like an ambulance. I went to a local Ford Dealer and the first Transit 2500 I looked at had a recall notice on it so it couldn't be sold. The dealer didn't have a basic Transit 2500 on the lot but the sales guy called me the next day and said he found one not too far away. In the meantime, I started reading reviews and looking closer at the Transit and there were just too many things like having the parking break in the middle between the two seats and countless breakdown issues that I just did not want any part of. I decided to head down to our local Dodge dealer and look at the Promaster 2500 HIgh Roof. They had one on the lot. I took it for a test drive and really liked it. I got in easy, backup camera and sensors were great. Got it with power mirrors that fold in. Apparently, the dealers order only a few configurations of the van so if you want to build one yourself, they said it would take about 4 months to get. I took advantage of the rebates and got it out the door for around $34,000. It had about $1500 worth of upgrades. I didn't need navigation, floor mats and a bunch of extra stuff. The LED lights would have been nice but I am going to get that aftermarket anyway. The only ridiculous thing I found so far is that the passenger seat doesn't have an armrest. Reall happy with the purchase. I have only had it 4 days now so the good thing is that nothing has fallen off the van yet that I know of! It's big and beautiful... just hope I won't be moving furniture for my friends every weekend :(

2016 ram pro master van
2016 ram pro master van...I’ve had this van since 2017 this year alone I’ve had to replace the complete wiring harness one of the heads on the motor valve body and the transmission and just recently the transmission coolant line blew off going down the road which caused the transmission to go bad I would highly recommend buying a different vehicle if you’re going to use it for commercial use although these vans are flooded the market and they were cheap and a lot of people bought them in 2017 these vans cannot hold up to every day hard use I do not recommend buying these vehicles if you do and you get an extended warranty the warranty company will not cover commercial vehicles
2016 diesel
The seating position took a bit to get used to, it's fine now and comfortable (I'm 6'1".) The check engine light came on at about 5k miles along with a message saying DEF - go to dealer. The dealer gave me a rental car and had it fixed and out the doors in 2 days; new def pump and also a new tire sensor that had the light lit on the dash. This is a big vehicle and the diesel has been getting between 25-28 mpg for personal use, lightly loaded (very little city driving.) The first gear is very high but I quickly adjusted. It turns well for it's size; I can make u-turns at the lights. Brakes are amazing. I am pleased with it.
