New Ford Van

Okay fake window sticker, but did I read that right over 45K for a gas van..

billg27 · Apr 9, 2014

Yes, over $45K retail. But that had the optional Ecoboost engine, interior upgrade package, premium exterior package and HD towing package and a lot of extras that I liked. Base for the longest and tallest 350 is $37,835 retail. Was quoted dealer invoice for that van at $42,112 including all freight and prep.

And the window sticker really isn't fake. It printed out along with my option list and pricing. It's real, just not stuck on to a window of a truck.

The diesel is another $3K+ over the Ecoboost. Or $5K over the base engine.

But it's so short though, it's be like the econoline is now that has a pallet space behind the axel the F-lift drivers let it there. I'm just liking my ford less and less everyday lol sorry

What's short about 14' 3" of cargo space.

Wheel base not the cargo area, my mistake for not clarifying.

Base price on the longest and tallest Transit could be had for under $35K at dealer invoice. I added a lot of options.

If being released this June, they may have found a fix, noticing the article was may 2013?

Hopefully solved by now. Sounded more like an electrical problem. Dodge had some head problems awhile back with the V6 Penstar

Okay people, what good is the extended lenght transit if the test overhang is 6.5 feet.

that is where common sense comes in loading procedure....1 - 3,000lb skid will have to be pushed forward ....3 equal skids not so much of a concern......Ford has always had that overhang to my knowledge even the E350 has it and people deal with it.....Why doesn't Ford make a longer wheel base like GM or Mercedes, Dodge?....who knows....

I think the 178in cutaway chassis with a GVW of 9,950 and unicell box might be a good option. Plenty of room for a sleeper and 3 skid capacity, as long as you can fit at least a 48in pallet between its DRW
