We purchased ours in signature last July have been nothing but happy with it. I'm with your wife on the big windshield and reading about some of the repair bills scared me from ever wanting a Class A. We also have a diesel truck I know how much more old changes and maintenance cost. We have never been Ford fans but I sure like that there are many dealers with parts if needed.
I would like it to be a little fancier and not such a box, but we find it has lots of storage. My dogs & I love it and don't have so much invested we feel bad if it's not being used. Hope it lasts us many more years.
