Transit wins comparison test
I noticed the comparison was with 2500 series vans. No one in North America is offering 2500 series Sprinters in Class B conversions other than maybe the 144" wheelbase model. Are they building 3500 Transit vans yet? It seems strange no one has proposed a Class B model.
The Ford website lists a 350 HD with GVWR of 10,360 and payload of 4650 lb. But I have not seen any in inventory at dealers in this area. My guess is that if there are any in production yet, they are going directly to fleet sales.
FORD SPECS
I see that. I'm kind of wondering. The Transit to me seems a lot closer in spec and size to the older model pre-2007 Sprinter that converters were building on the 2500 chassis. If they could pull it off it might be attractive not being a dually. The current Sprinter had to go to 3500. Then on the other hand, the market is looking for heavier Bs in multiple batteries, bigger tank capacities, solar, granite countertops, etc.
