I have bought 2 Brand new Transits, the rear wheel drive cab chassis and front wheel drive mid wheel base. The ute is outstanding! Everything that you would want in this type of vehicle. Only issue is it needs an extra gear on the open road. Spins at 3000rpm at 110kms which hurts economy. But around town and general open road driving, one word for this ute, awesome!
The van, well I drove all the competitors. MB, Renault, Fiat, Volkswagon. Bought another Transit and haven't looked back. In the Vito range, you pay another $8000-10000 for an undersize engined vehicle. The 1.9ltr is shocking. The 2.2ltr in the Transit does the job really well, an around town nudges 900kms out of 65ltr tank.
So far the ute has just over 30k on the clock, the van 10k. Not a single issue with either of them. Couldn't be happier and will be soon buying another two vans. Won't even bother looking at the opposition.
