    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    Ok, went back Friday after the mid length mid hight 3.7 Transit with the 3.73 gears was setup and did a 50 mile test drive. Was impressed with the acceleration driving around in the city. But, when I got on the freeway, it runs 2,100 rpms at 65 mph and 2,300 rpms at 70 mph. Not bad. But it's...

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    I was offered a diesel by my dealer. Nothing said about any delays in delivery. I drove several of the diesel Transits, you can barely tell that it's a diesel. Idles smooth, very quiet, throttle responsive and appeared to have good acceleration. It's a 5K upgrade. Dealer had a cost calculator...

    I placed my order today for the Long Extended Length, Highest Roof in a 350 SRW. I went with the 3.7 and 3.73 gears. Wish me luck, it's a first year truck.

    Tumbleweeds, any chance that I could see some pictures of your interior build out? Sounds like a really comfortable living space in back. Thanks

    Gotta love them Fedex drivers.

    It is a GM vehicle. Look at the wheels, mirrors, door handles and high mounted tail lights.

    Van insulation

    Is there some reason that I shouldn't use fiberglass batt insulation in my sidewalls of my van? Was thinking of using these batts and then a 3/4 inch thick insulated wall board. Then reinstalling the factory panels back on over the insulation. And what's recommended for the ceiling thickness...
