Used Ford Transit Wagon for Sale in Plano, TX

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.

I ride in a vanpool that travels about an hour each way to and from our downtown area every day. We recently received a brand-new 10-passenger Transit van after having the older Ford van for several years. I have to say, this is the most uncomfortable van we've ever had to ride in. The front seat isn't too bad, except that you have to take a giant step up to get in it. The back seats are horrible. The Transit is much narrower than the older model, and the seats show it. You can hardly fasten the seatbelts because you're sitting on the receptacle (which is rigid and digs into your backside the entire trip). Whoever designed the seats obviously never sat behind one, because there is a bar that runs across the inside of the seat back that sits right at knee level of the person behind it, so that there is no possible position to sit in where your knees aren't hitting this bar. I'm 5'7" and I have to sit sideways to be able to fit my knees in the rear seats. It's a joke to call them captains chairs when there is no separation. You'd better like the person you're sitting next to because you are touching the entire time. The seats have little to no support and feel cheaply made. The running board that is supposed to help you get into the back of the vehicle is also very narrow, to the point of being dangerous. You can't just step down onto it when exiting the vehicle, if you did only your heel would fit. You have to turn your foot and body sideways to be able to get any use out of it, and even then you have to be very careful not to slip (I can tell you from personal experience, it's a long way down). On top of the utter discomfort of this vehicle, we've only had it for a couple of months and it already broke down! When we had to call our Metro company to tell them we were broken down on the side of the freeway and described the issue, we were told that they had several of these vans with the same problem - the throttle body. The A/C works - that's the only positive thing I can say about it. This van is so bad that I am considering not even riding in a vanpool anymore, and I've been on it for years. The prospect of being stuck with this vehicle for the next few years is depressing.
