The fact that I can hear Steve green on background with his song People need the Lord( which I performed couple of times in different church meetings) is amazing. I am starting liking these vans since my family is growing, and we love road trips so we dont have to rent big cars, would love to get one of these in the future.

Hey, I have the same van. I just tested my winter tires in Utah. They worked FANTASTIC! IN snow, ice, slush. Taking off and braking. My set with rims was $1,800 so I was hoping it would be worth it. It's hands down worth it. I got Firestone Winterforce CVs.

Thank you for the review and finally a person with a real review not some salesman just trying to sell the automobile and a person actually drove it for awhile and know the good the bad and ugly 😂🤪🙂 and the Air conditioner control you are the only one mentioned it and gas door problem I can see why it was designed that way because it has careless but I figured we needed to open the door to get off to fill gas tank and AWD system how it works is what I am looking for, from what you said about the system It sounds like it will only engage with wheel slips so it's not a full time system like my Subaru has AWD and it's full time no wheel spin, was the seat hard to remove or then heavy? need a hulk to move it 😱😜🤫🤔😳 and you mentioned it will fit in a regular garage?as we all know we stuff our garage with bunch of junks 😱🤪😂😜🤔 not cars 😨🙄

Truly appreciate that you took the time to put this video together. The Transits are still in such short supply that we can't find one to see in person of any roof height, so this review helps! Questions: 1) Have you now had the opportunity to "play" with it in the snow? How'd it handle? 2) For the back seats that have seats in front of them, is there enough leg room that a 6 ft tall adult - like you - would be comfortable on a long road trip, or is leg room an issue? 3) I can only roughly gauge the size of the storage space in the back. Do you find it's roomy enough to carry all of your family's luggage when you travel? We do a lot of airport work, so luggage capacity is a material concern. Thanks again, and God bless!
@thehandyfamily11 Жыл бұрын
So we literally got one snow this winter. A complete anomaly for us. So I haven't got to play yet lol. Storage area is plenty! We love how much we can pack. I'm 5' 11" and the leg room is a slightly tight. I have ridden in the back, but pick the three seat locations with the open area in front of me.

I ordered my ford transit cargo extended length and high roof 350 HD dually awd carbonized gray for my plumbing business a year ago and still haven't received it. 6 months ago ford emailed me with an update sayings it's being built, then 3 month ago they emailed me saying they are waiting on chips. When I originally ordered it at dealer the sales lady told me 6 weeks, I am still waiting on it. Never heard back from the sales lady, only ford emails me with the same thing ( waiting on chips ).

Very informative. Thank you for making this! I have several kids and we take many road trips so this pushed me over the edge and made me feel comfortable taking the plunge. I just placed an order today for the 2022 XLT and got the 14 seat option. What's strange is there is not AWD on ford's website for this van! It only gives me the rear wheel. Am I missing something? Also, considering it may take a year I guess I would just get the 2023 in that case?

If you placed an order for a 250 they don’t make it in AWD. Only the 150 and 350. Weird but that’s why I went with a 350. Check on that stuff it changes all the time. Thanks for the kind words! greatly appreciated!

My wife's 90 year old grandma get's in it more than once a week and that would be a real problem without them. I also have boys 2-9 years old. Even with the running boards I try to help the little ones when getting out.
