      This video title promised "off road" and the whole thing was on a dirt road which it never left.
      Bad idea unless you're adding new drivelines, a higher gear ratio, new tranny with more speeds to handle the increased torque loads from the larger tires. After that put in a bigger steering gear box to control your tires, a larger power steering hydraulic pump to an upgraded custum sized rack and pinion setup, then replace the swaybar, rear trac bar, steering links and joints, and probably the entire wheel hub assembly with a heavy duty version of each. Now add a selectable 2 / 4 wheel drive transfer case and lockers at both, the rear differential and the transaxle in front, now you have a reliable and capable 4 wheel drive you wont get stuck with.
      That was easy.

    • @David-rx2to
      @David-rx2to Před 7 lety +1

      Who did you contact? I've tried to ask the same question of Ford and the people I spoke to wouldn't even admit there is an AWD model in Europe. I'd love to convert an AWD version into a campervan.

    • @Elinor_Scott-Lester
      @Elinor_Scott-Lester Před 7 lety +2

      David Golembeski AWD version is available in Europe, I have a mwb 350 bought in U.K. They mostly seem to be bought by utility companies so you don't see them often for sale. I converted mine to a campervan and it goes everywhere I need it for.

    • @David-rx2to
      @David-rx2to Před 7 lety

      Lucky you...if we Americans want an AWD Transit, we have to take it to one of a couple aftermarket shops and wait months for them to convert it...then I'd worry about warranty issues. Probably couldn't take it to any old Ford dealer to have the front drive serviced under warranty. Is yours the new design...2015 or newer? I looked into a lift kit for the Transit and I'm told the weak link is the rear shock mounts...even if you lift the body, the bottom rear shock mounts limit ground clearance. Only thing we can do is mount a slightly taller set of tires.

    @robertsabella7298 Před 2 lety +1

    Nice van but not for off roading. If you want to go off road. You would get something 4x4 with a different suspension and tires and clearance different than that. Ford design that with a family or working people in mind so you don't have to jump up into it on an everyday basis. A friend of mine has a sprinter with 4x4 option. That vehicle has a lot I log ground clearance but if he did add running boards on it , it would be a chore to get into it and drive it.

    I didn't see anything that my standard rwd transit with decent tyres couldn't do. as ford insist this isn't 4wheel drive it's AWD, all wheels are driven but not necessarily at the same time!

    • @vetrieska11
      @vetrieska11 Před 8 lety +4

      +ijustwanttoseetitty i have an awd, believe me without front drive rear wheels are spinning almost always on soft ground. on the movie is dry ground, only some step hills - that is no off-road. try deep mud in construction junction, you will see the difference.

    You don't want full time all wheel drive anyway. Full time front wheel drive with an all wheel drive option that you can switch off and on is ideal. AWD all the time is just massively unnecessary wear and tear on your vehicle. Too much in maintenance makes a vehicle not worth the cost of driving it nevermind owning one.

  • @JoshuaMatthewLaFond33
    @JoshuaMatthewLaFond33 Před 6 lety +4

    No way a regular transit could do those, with average tires. The things are helpless level on wet grass, unless you have at least 1k of dead weight in the back. With good tires about half what was shown. I've driven one for a year now (started with 14k miles on it) and 15k miles has shown me a decent vehicle for the price. Not awesome. At all. Stuck on a level hard gravel parking lot with two inches of snow, pulled out by my lil sis in a minivan. Stuck on slight incline wet grass. Unable to drive up a barely muddy gravel to my home. Good tires helped tremendously. Not worth spending 10k on 4x4, as the vehicle is, well, neh. Bearings are squealing. Driveshaft needs to be replaced (again) on factory recall. Door latches break. Seat belts don't retract. Shifting is so slow you can think about heaven or hell waiting for next gear to lock in. Step on the gas hard, and she does takes off and goes hard, after three seconds to check with the home office. So, it's a cheap van to haul 15 people, or 7 kids, the wife, Grandma, and all my tools. What did you expect for $30k?

  • @dlg5485
    @dlg5485 Před 6 lety +1

    This is why I'll be buying a 4x4 Sprinter instead of a Transit, which isn't a real 4x4 system anyway. If Ford offered an AWD van in the US, I might have been willing compromised to save money (compared to the overpriced Sprinter). I'm doing a full RV conversion probably next year and proper 4WD is a must. There's definitely demand in the US for 4x4 vans, so it's beyond me why Mercedes is the only brand offering one and it's a very capable 2-speed 4x4 system to boot. I know Quigley and others offer fine aftermarket 4x4 systems, but they're expensive and will void your factory warranty. Stupid move Ford.
