    I can see you are unhappy and I get it. I'm interested to hear, what made you think it wouldn't be that way? Social media, or a recruiter? I'm just curious

    Sprinter cargo van load board

    Do not go into the cargo van owner operator business. There is no money in this. I have 2020 Ford Transit 350 insurance, straps, e-tracks they want me to drive for free. No pay for deadhead not sure what happens after I drop off freight. I'm selling my van asap.

    Boss wants me to buy a Sprinter

    Diesel sprinter are to expensive to maintain. Get a gas Ford transit and laugh at him....you won't be spending $1000 to get brakes done or the diesel particle filter cleaned.

    Boss wants me to buy a Sprinter

    ...in my driveway and I've been passing it every day for the last year and a half for an E250. Cheap, reliable, dirt cheap parts (Ya 48" tall. I've been asked twice in that time and said no for height - your situation may need "Ford Transit" high roof to replace "Ford E250" it's an example)

    Opinions on this cutaway

    ...all my belongings up front, and sleep in the passenger seat. I'm trying to put an end to that while retaining capacity. So what about a Ford Transit cutaway like this, pallets 2-across, I'd guess a total of 4. I'd still register it at 10,000 GVW. Customize it to build a couple windows and...

    I'm just a little concerned about giving up a couple feet of cargo space. I plan to use a nice recliner or other permanent bed setup, so I'm thinking I'd be limited to 2 skids with the shorter cargo area.

    If I were to get a new van it would be a Ford Transit.

    You have to go to the advanced search and put Moot in the posted by box and Transit in the keyword box. It sometimes gets hung up with too much input I think. Anyway, here's what you can study, the last page being most complete data...

    I've been searching. Searched back to 2013, as far as it lets me. Can't find anything searching for "moot transit annual expense summary" or various permutations.

    Go back and find the posts where Moot gives his annual summary of expenses with his gas Ford Transit. VERY informative. As already mentioned, diesel needs a first class mechanic and there are far fewer A+ diesel mechanics than there are A+ gas mechanics.

    ...them, and hope for input from everybody. First, for the van itself, either a Sprinter, the longest one made, or the longest, high-roof Ford Transit. I want to maximize my cargo area while simultaneously minimizing occasions on which I have to take down my bed and nap in the driver's seat...

    Getting my own van, opinions wanted

    ...call you. If (S)He does, you can find out about that van and where to get it. If I were going back out I'd get the tallest and longest Ford Transit that didn't exceed 9999 GVW. As far as setting it up I'd read back through the years here and find what Turtle, Moot and Geo have to say. They...

    Should i buy a used or new sprinter van?

    Every make and model can be a pain in the you know what at times I personally like the high roof 176 WB Mercedes, or the Dodge Transit 159 WB over the Fords. Seems the Fords are not much better than the Mercedes for maintenance costs, Mercedes have less issues if you really pay attention to the...
