Thanks, I can get 3 full size bikes behind my custom rear bench seat and the van is a short box so it's still easy to get around with. Sorry I tried to post the pic straight to the site, but i suck at the internet.

They are cheap but too small and terrible mpg. I would pick up a used sprinter van in a heart beat over this.

I think it's an issue where some forces don't want these cars in the US (import taxes and toll)? That means they end up being pricey compared to those cheap but fuel consuming dinosaur seen everywhere who burn the earth oil resources 3-times faster but with questionable added performance...

I live about 15 minutes from Milestone, but when I take this puppy it takes me about 8 days to get there.

I would rather push my bike to the track than show up in a Ford Transit. Just sitting in that thing must lower your testosterone level.

Obviously not a Transit, but this is what most people in OZ use.

Toyota Hiace 2.4, 4cyl and room to squeeze in 3 bikes, 2 comfortably.


But as my friend found out, they are not very forgiving in a frontal accident.


Here is one from another forum. Amazingly they were OK.


HMMM, pictures are very small?

Was also nervous about this when I had my hiace. You do feel very exposed sitting right over the front wheels.

Sounds like ford is going to scrap there E series and come out with a bigger transit. Rumoured to have the new ecoboost engine in it

No wonder they got in an accident. Look at where the steering wheel is. Woohoo Yikes!!! Either that or the driver was adjusting his Budgie smugler.Pinch

I always look at the seats and think how lucky he was I didn't choose one-piece bucket seats...
Then I look at it again think how lucky it was I wasn't in it.Unsure
