Several manufacturers are building on the FORD Cutaway chassis and that chassis is lighter than the Sprinter and the FORD inline 5 cycl Power Stroke diesel actually cranks out more Torque than the Sprinter and FORD dealers are everywhere. I am not what you would call a FORD lover and that last one I bought was used and it was a pile of junk. However, the Transit chassis has really caught on and from were I live, there are 3 FORD truck dealer within 5 miles from our home! For that reason alone, I would prefer a FORD B or B+ RV.
