Just picked up a Ford Transit 350XLT medium roof. Trying to get some good ideas on how to secure the bikes in the van. I have the passenger version also. Going to leave the front row of passenger seats in and pull all the others.
Kind of leaning toward the Risk Racing pro lock and loads. Would really like something I can place aside when not in use to free up floor space. Will be hauling a 450 and a 85. Probably a pit bike on race days also. Looking for some opinions. Thanks

I know the vans have less room but if possible I highly recommend them
Very simple to load and unload
Also It’s set up to run as a 5 passenger van with the second row installed and 3 bikes.

Also, anytime you bolt something in a van or pickup, you have to contend with the raised ribs of the metal floor and plan where to drill/bolt carefully. With the bike shoes, you are constrained to the 3 mounting holes and as I recall, these did not correspond very well with the spacing of the ribs in my Ford van. The Lock-N-Loads have like 16 mounting holes per unit which gives you lots of options and pretty much ensures you'll be able to line up well with the rib spacing on any floor.

I have the MX 3 bike mount specific for a Ford Transit and it works great for holding (3) full size MX bikes. I can pull it out when needed and slap the passenger seats in, the J-Hooks directly mount to existing seat brackets in the floor of the passenger model.
