They need one more line, a Camper Build line. Start at no seats and stick shift. Now add radiant heat for floors, insulation throughout, all van A/C, place for solar panels, cable channels, a place on roof ready to be cut for a fan, rear camera, lift kits, things like that. You can option it up to a build-ready stage and then you do flooring, cabinets, galley, etc. For now anyway, campers are still a growth industry and they should address it somehow.

All wheel drive is probably VW 4motion system the VW runs on all it's vans Ford is developing with VW the next generation of transit and VW Crafter vans

[@jonmccormick8683]

Dually tires are more commercial with the higher 100psi = very hard, longer lasting tires and rubber compound. The big benefit is that if one tire goes flat you can still get down and off of the road. With a wheelchair lift you add 1k lbs+ = The dually would greatly help stability when using a lift.

[@dlg5485]

I'm considering the extended length AWD Transit and the long wheelbase 4x4 Sprinter for a RV build. I would definitely prefer to have proper 4WD, which Ford should have offered, but I think the Transit's AWD would probably suffice, although I do plan to go off the beaten path regularly in this thing. Another big complaint about the Transit is the massive 6.3 ft rear overhang on the longest version. Ford really needs to offer a longer wheelbase Transit. The longest WB offered is 148" which is just 4" longer than MB short Sprinter. MB offers a 170" WB Sprinter and an extended version that is over 2 ft longer than the longest Transit. Having a larger footprint on a big heavy vehicle like this massively improves ride, handling and overall stability. Dealing with the diesel might be a bit of a headache, but I've owned diesels in the past and know how to maintain them, so that's not a deal breaker. Plus, despite the Sprinter having a nicer interior and slightly better build quality, it doesn't cost any more than the Transit at the higher end. Based on what each one offers right now, I'd probably choose the Sprinter, but I still have some time. Hopefully, Ford will make some of these improvements because I'd rather have the more common and cheaper to maintain Ford when it comes down to it.

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

The Sprinter can be had with a transfer case with low range as well. It doesn't sound like the Ford will have that as an option.

[@dlg5485]

@@The_Opinion_of_Matt I know this, which is why I'm most likely getting a Sprinter. Ford missed an opportunity to really take on the Sprinter, particularly in the class B RV space where 4WD is a huge selling feature.

If you feel like spending $12k, Quigley will modify your Transit with a proper two-range 4WD system as a dealer-ordered option. They'll intercept the van from Ford, do the work and deliver to the dealer. Because Quigley uses almost all Ford parts, the system can be serviced at Ford dealers. You can even roll that $12k into your financing, if you want to spend an extra $12,000...

@@tinygnat The cost of the Quigely conversion has gone up recently. I believe it's over $14,000 now. I'm saying Ford could easily offer 4x4 as an option, certainly for less than $5,000 or so, and they'd make a killing, while saving customers money.

[@tinygnat]

@@dlg5485 They're up to $14k? That's nuts. I agree that there's no reason Ford shouldn't be offering this. There's certainly a market for it.

I don't understand the engine options.... They did this on the last one too, but at least that one made a little more sense. Why not use the same Powerstroke from the F150 in here, or use the 3.3L from the F150 in here? Where did this 3.5L N/A come from? Surely this isn't the old 3.5L from the last-gen Explorer/Taurus/Flex... Why not put the 2.7L in here?

[@tinygnat]

The previous NA engine was a 3.7. The 3.5 EcoBoost is essentially the same as the 3.7 with beefier parts for the increased stress of the boost, the lower displacement due to the increased material. Of course, there's other differences such as tuning. This is how I've understood this, though I could be wrong. Now, I'm guessing in a move to save a few bucks, Ford is utilizing the same heads and associated parts between EcoBoost and NA versions. The Transit EcoBoost prior to 2020 was the first-gen and the 2020 Transit gets the second-gen. I agree with the diesel thing, if Ford could fit the V6's in the Transit, why not share the new diesel from the F150? Perhaps it's a supply issue? I don't think those diesels are Ford products. (Rover/Jaguar?) Having driven several Transits for work, I'd say the difference between the NA and the EcoBoost is the difference between "I can do this" and "Hold my beer."
