If you aren’t taking the writeoff on leasing or purchasing, a far
better value is getting an E-150 with 60-100K miles for $15K fully
loaded with shelves, ladder racks, inverters, and other things we
normally have to add. eBay has them all the time. Considering
the drive train should last 300-500K miles (mines at 393K miles
and runs like a top), it’s a massive savings.

That sure sounds like Transit wins in your book =)
I'll get with you someday soon to figure out a time if that works
for you.

Yep - all 4 styles. One of these days I’ll find one I like :-)
Your more than welcome to come visit.
Transit - good van, only thing I don’t like is the weird masking
on the windshield for the (nonexistent) rear view mirror.
Nissan has been very reliable but loses a lot of storage area to
the ‘truck’ front end.
Promasters are roomier than the Ford. So far so good - but they
are all pretty new.
Sprinter - were nice to drive when new, not so much now.
Reliability has been poor, maintenance extremely expensive, and
not even the Mercedes dealer can figure out how to fix them when
they break. I don’t believe we will ever buy another Sprinter.

So it sounds like everyone is pretty happy with Ford work
vans (excluding the chinsey Connect). Just need Ranger
shelves and Prime Design ladder racks for stuff and job's
done?

Horrible ladder rack… Ladder hanging over
the side, handle sticking out even farther:

yes there seems to be a discrepancy.
Sounds like Mark has them, maybe he

Basically that, but the ones I'm
familiar with the pole is always
connected, and once the ladder is in
place the pole folds against the side
of the vehicle up top and has a spot
for a padlock.

Good ladder kits mount the ladders
on top. There is a level that
pulls the ladder down to the side
of the vehicle, then you just pull
it off the hangers. They also have
locks.

We like the dual sliding
doors. We install shelving on
the driver side door entry way
for easy access to tools. The
Transit connects are decent.
The full size transits are too
large for us - mileage is too
big of a hit. I’m sure they
will last longer but by the
time they are 5 or 6 years old
the wrap is tired and it’s
worth nothing, new stuff is
out, might as well just plan
on a 4 year replacement cycle
and have something that always
works. We’ve had some issues
with the older transit
connects as they get into the
100k mileage range. Our new
vans are Promaster Cities.
They get better mileage than
our Transit Connects and are
hopefully a little tougher.
There are some great
incentives on the Ram
Promaster City vans right now.

Suggestions for work vans
I already have a Tacoma
which is great, but I'm
looking for a second
vehicle for a second
driver. I'd like to try a
work van to keep
everything inside. Maybe
even warm parts for the
winter.
I'm looking at the Ford
Transit and would love to
hear of any additional
suggestions/experiences.
