You’ll love it.

Bought one in March of 2020. It’s got 111,000 miles on it. All I’ve done to it is oil, filters, tires, brake-pads.

Make sure you put better locks on it.

A donkey brained moron designed the standard locks. It takes a screw driver, a pair of grips and 5 seconds to break into a Transit.

Going to visit some Ford dealers this week and find out what availability is….My E350 has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned for over 10 years…I think Ford earned my business. This model appears to be perfect for someone who wants a good Moto Van at a reasonable price point…

Funny thing…I installed the Milo Siberian Security System…

In the places where that break-in crap that happens, the thieves seem to NOT like my dog…he feels it’s HIS van…
But, George is right: install the after-market external locks if you’re gonna park it in places where you’ll have to worry about these things…

I bought a high roof long version in Dec of 19, love it. Only downside i have found is the rear breaks go south fast. I got 25k on the first set.

I bought a new 2018 long wheelbase, medium roof Transit a few years ago for use as moto van. Love it. Superior in every way (except towing capacity) to the E250 extended van it replaced. Also, 3.5 Ecoboost V6 with a tune = a 360+ rwhp cargo van capable of 0-60 in the low 6 second range.

I looked into getting one for a couple of years and I really like this Weinsberg 630 MEG. It has everything I'm looking for and a full garage. I saw that Manny Lettenbichler I was using one last year and looked into it. Check out the pics on the landing page.

AWD, 400ftlbs of torque, and all the room for a bike. Wish I had the money

Bought my 2016 short (130 wb) van medium roof at the end of 2018 for $21200. It got broadsided at the end of 2019. Ford dealership spent 16k to fix it right. I just sold it for $28500 2 days ago.
Looking at lightly used cargo vans now. Was looking at sprinters until I read all of nightmares. Decided on a newer Transit cargo with extended length.
My 2016 had 80k miles and zero problems. Still drove like new for the new guy when he picked it up.

My 21 ford AWD extended eco boost bare bones cargo cost 70gs, my last Promaster cost 40gs. Gota pay to play. Expect to wait a long time until the new transit trail is available, if you order one it will be a year out for sure. Just going by how long it takes to get a base AWD.

Picked up a 2015 mid roof 350XL 15 passenger with the 3.7 and 4.10 rear end, during the height of the pandemic. Love, love, love it. Painted some of the plastics to liven up the ugly grey plastic.

Yep rear brakes 25-30K. Passenger model sits low in the rear, good and bad.
The windshield is a rock collector.

Everything else about the van is great. I’ve never had so many cup holders!

Not that I have seen, but there are some dealers in Europe that show export pricing. I think they run about $60k to $65k with the garage.
