The Promaster has a different but still front wheel drive drivetrain(the diesel may be identical except smog). The Ford is basically a completely new rear wheel drive system built in a brand new factory so how do you arrive at that conclusion? I don't have any conclusions for either but will have a wait and see attitude. There are some very extensive road tests on YouTube that speak well of the Promaster including a very strange sideways video from a professional freight hauler who has already put many thousands of miles on his.
