The following are my 2022 year end totals for a 2015 Ford Transit T-350, long and tall, 3.5L EcoBlaster, 3.31 rears. In October 2016, I put on larger tires (245/75 R16) and corrected my mileage by 8%. These are actual figures obtained by dividing total miles by total gallons. These numbers are...

I change the air filter on my Transit about every 80,000 miles. Replacing it every oil change is excessive. An air filter actually gets more efficient with age, up to a point. My last two Chevys I also did the 80,000 mile replacement. Both had an air restriction indicator but I never let it...

Keep it plugged into what? There was a discussion on the Ford Transit forum where someone suggested to cut the plug and wire in a resistor. No mention of how many ohms the the resistor should be. I just left the connector on. yeah, the airbag light stays on but some day it will burn out.

The Transit isn't available with the 6 speed transmission that I have. All new Transits come with a 10 speed, which I believe to be overkill. To quote davekc: "Why complicate the simple". For that reason alone I would not get another Transit. Also the cutaways and cab chassis are not...

I wanted the chrome front bumper/ halogen headlight package, cruise control, 3:65 rears and some other minor goodies that I don't recall. If I order a new vehicle I want what I want. The one thing I absolutely wouldn't give on was the rearend. Everything that came off that line had a 4:10...

It's difficult to compare the two. Obviously there is a huge difference in size. My original plan was to buy a Chevy cut-away with the 14' Unicel CW body. I couldn't get a chassis to the specs I wanted until the next model year so I ordered a 2015 Transit. The Chevy was cheaper to maintain...

The following is a link to maintenance costs for my 2004 Chevy slop bucket. https://www.expeditersonline.com/forums/threads/cargo-van-maintenance-costs-update.65071/#post-718324

Thanks Leo! 2015 was the first year for the full size Transit. A lot has changed since then. More engine options, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and other "essential" electronic safety devices that I find useless. So, my stats aren't as relevant. As a driving enthusiast...

Lowest cost of ownership and best reliability are not necessarily mutually inclusive. A vehicle's reliability often depends on the owner's reliability to have the vehicle's scheduled maintenance and preventive maintenance done in a timely fashion. That cost money. But that can also save more...

The following are my 2020 year end fuel stats for a Ford Transit T-350, long and tall, 3.5L EcoBlaster, 3.31 rears. In October 2016, I put on larger tires (245/75 R16) and corrected my mileage by 8%. These are actual figures obtained by dividing total miles by total gallons. These numbers are...

A weeee bit overboard? Aye matey. Also a wee bit outboard and inboard. That woman from Michigan should be paddled, hoisted up the main mast and them made to walk the plank. Arrrr.

Rags, do you no longer stand with that woman from Michigan? Were you up in Lansing Wednesday?

As for 2 skids or 3 skids, it comes down to personal comfort vs money. I chose comfort.

Why not the 3.5 Ecoblaster? Have you driven one yet?

When I first had my Transit I gave my carrier 144" to try out the 3 skid theory. I can't say for certain that I have been passed over but when I was Canadian qualified I definitely skipped over. It all depends on the carrier. With a smaller carrier 3 skid capacity may be the way to go if you...

How many miles on your Transit? Have you owned this Transit since new?
