Bought 2016 tradesman model already equipped with ladder rack, ranger shelving and all sorts of goodies from previous owner....$15,300 with 24K miles. LOVE this little van and my 3500 Duramax appreciates the much needed break and no more 9 point turns in tight neighborhoods. Helps the blood pressure too, just get in and chill out and go. Fun to drive, but 0-60....eventually. Gear stays secure.....tranny hunts too much and 9-speed is overkill, 6 speed would be just fine. All in all great little van.
26 mpg going downhill. I hope you talk about the location of the hidden speedometer. Ticket prone. Amber lighting is no good. My recent trip averaged 21.5 mpg. 60/40 split on the doors. Future help hint. Lighting on your camera. Do not put too much in the above storage. Nice firm ride. Not soft. You can fit a pallet in there if you have a cargo. Visibility looking out the drivers door is not easy. Nope! You did not talk about the speedometer, amber dash, defective ignition switch, boggy transmission in the cold, defective computer board, in sunny Florida you cant see the dashboard. Ford does have a better overall design. I had the 2016 $30,000 Transit Connect and traded down. Both vehicles are losing antifreeze and neither dealer could find the problem. Poor Dodge and Fiat Diablo. They do NOT care about the driver experience.
I know this is an older video, but could you please tell me if the rear seats can easily be removed if desired? I like having the interior finished like that, rather than the bare cargo version, and having side & rear windows. (2019 / 2020 versions of course).
