The overhang doesnt look too bad in that picture....the overhang "looks" about the same as a Cargomax or similiar. I'm comparing the wb to that of a cargomax since the 14' load floor is about the same. That is probably not the best comparison. That van is styled more like a Sprinter in the front end with the axle set farther back and possibly less hood. All those things will effect how the 148" wb works out. Does anyone know off hand what the wb is on a 14' sprinter? That would be a better comparison, I think.

Scott, this is the spec sheet posted by Eastex...and my hillbilly metric conversion....you might wanna do your own math
I might be one of the 5 people to get one.
same wheels as the t1n sprinter
...... :thumbup:
You guys gonna put Hooker Headers on it too?
According to this link the maximum cargo length will be 12' 4" (much shorter than extended Sprinter but gives the magic 3 skid capacity) and 10' height

Although looking at the specs it shows the same load length for the regular and extended length high roofs

with running boards and chrome side pipes,maybe lightly tinted windows
Thanks Scott! I'm disappointed with the "long" wheelbase option of only 148". I was hoping for 155" to 160", preferable 160". As for the inside height, I could live with 72", would prefer 74" to 76" and can't figure out the specs for the high roof. In the main body of the article it states the high roof at 2799mm or 110". Toward the bottom of the article, in the specification breakdown, it list the maximum cargo height of 3068mm or 121". For me personally, anything over 80" tall is excessive and adds to the overall weight and wind resistance. The maximum load width of 69" is about 3 inches less than my Chevy. Not a deal breaker, but disappointing.
Speaking of weight, no mention of GVWR, but I see there will be a DRW option. Hopefully Ford doesn't booger up the weights with a 10,200 for the SRW.

Well, then I'll be 6, I'll be looking for a new van by years end anyway. Will have to save this year so I can just give them cash. I just don't a payment, because I want to take time off when I want.
