Of all the vans, I'm interested what the Transit will bring us.
The biggest thing is that M-B lays down the law of what an upfitter can and cannot do, and it is pretty strict (such as no 4WD conversions).
I assume Ford will give more freedom (assuming one doesn't cut a support strut or hack-job the CANBUS run), so things like outside storage compartments which were common on the old Chevy Express vans might make a return. Ford also has bet the house on their turbocharging technology, so it makes me curious how the performance and MPG statistics on the EB and the turbocharged I-5 diesel will be.
Milts, the Ford is going to be a unibody design like the Sprinter and the Promaster, so I doubt they'll be much more if any freedom to the upfitters than the current Sprinter is.
Here in KC they are now saying next spring at the earliest before the Transit starts production. Lots of supplier delays and plant upgrade problems
