2022 AWD Ford Transit Mid-roof EcoBoost

[@van_mod1]

Really appreciate you walking us through your rig. It’s pretty much exactly the way I would option it…and I love the color. Getting the second battery (upfitter package) is key for supplying power to the house system.

[@pamm9530]

“Still can’t believe I got it”…I feel the exact same!! Bought mine TODAY!

[@austinlowell8829]

Lol bought the van and then watch the video about it like your style

[@jdniuz1224]

One less sprinter...haha, awesome

[@robp3431]

Rare and beautiful color which immediately gives the van an adventure (not work) vibe.

[@rigwhisperer]

Congrats! Those ecoboosts are rocket ships! My buddy has a built mid roof that he’s considering selling, but I need a high roof and the garage isn’t high enough for bikes. You have me thinking new build is the way to go. Excited to see your buildout!

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Thanks! The ecoboost is really fast. I think I am going to keep it in Eco until I get on the highway. Feels like overkill for sure. I am glad I got it though.

[@KiwiMoto72]

congrats! I ordered the same van with the high roof 10 months ago! its finally arriving in 2 weeks!

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Awesome!

[@johannvanveelen248]

I like the color. I ordered mine 5 months ago and it's encouraging to see that you received yours.. It's also discouraging to know how long you've been waiting. I can only hope it will happen before the end of summer.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Yeah seems like it doesn't matter when you order it's more about what vans they're building at that time. I've heard that Ford is scrapping all builds with Power sliding doors so hopefully you didn't order that option.

[@goexplore318]

Congrats man. See you on the trails.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Thanks

[@frankietaylor5905]

Yes sir, fantastic. Well done. I enjoyed your post. Looking forward to others. Regards Frankeee in England 🙋

[@wb6004]

It would have been nice to hear the bottom line price for the entire van after hearing all of the options listed on the window sticker. The prices are big reasons why people read window stickers and watch KZbin videos (to get a sense of what we can afford out there).

[@BrokenandCoastal]

You can find that information over on the Ford Transit Forums. Lots of people share that info there. Totally different options and pricing for the 2023s. I hear they've pulled the Adventure Package among other things.

[@ledoov]

Congrats! can't wait to see the build process.💥

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Thanks!

[@matthoward1174]

Nice ! 14 mpg is pretty good for an Ecoboost. My 2016 3.7 mid roof / long gets 15.

[@van_mod1]

WTR did a fully built MPG test with their Storyteller Transit and got 14.3 mpg with 245/75R16 tires. Not bad. The turbo likes to drink when it kicks in.

[@mdeasy]

Congrats Chris!!!

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Thanks!

[@janetg14]

Congratulations!! This is the exact van I want except maybe high roof? I would like the mid roof but I’m 5’10 and not sure it would work after building it out

[@BrokenandCoastal]

My buddy is 5"10" with the medium roof. Standing up is key so worth checking both out if you can.

[@alexballew]

Clean van bro! Congrats!

[@OriginalGabriel]

Oh man, this is going to be a fun one ... glad manufacturers are getting on board with AWD on cargo vans. If you don't mind the drive to Seattle, I can probably get you a deal on any of the external work you need done (platform rack, ladder, etc.) as well as accesories (bike racks, traction devices, showers, fuel/water canisters, etc.).

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Thanks! I am looking for a cabinet/ carpenter that can make me a seat/ table to work on. Let me know if you know anyone. Thanks!

[@JimmyG1776]

My dream van.

[@yourdailyblockchain]

Sweet congratulations

[@joenovak9366]

I ordered almost the exact van without rear glass in ingot silver. Ordered mid December 21 and still waiting! I look forward to following your build.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

I bet it will be anytime now! Have you signed up to look at the Ford tracker using your VIN?

[@jrnumex9286]

ah, very nice. i went to dealer in jan '22 for almost same build plus matching bumper paint and a cpl things. they said msrp+ 10% plus dealer fee"s. it was a quick by bye now. maybe a '23 try.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Unfortunatley the cost of a 23 will be even more. If you look around the Ford Forums you can quickly find who the good dealers are.

[@IAmSam_TheMan]

great van you got there!!!!!! i have the 2020 250 high top, next year I'm upgrading i really want that infotainment system.

[@thomastrefz]

I got the exact same van over here in Pendleton OR. The only difference is when I asked for tinted windows I didn't know you had to specify for the privacy glass, wish I knew that... Also wish I had gotten the factory running boards and headliner space up top. other then that I'm super happy about it, getting ready to drive down to La Jolla next month. :) Great job with the video.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

My parents moved to Carlsbad recently so we road trip there a couple times a year. A great van for it!

[@Nova-1969]

This is the exact van I am considering ordering. What is the height from the floor to the ceiling for the mid roof?

[@flormaldonado8418]

Very informative thank you 😊

[@MoveCax]

love this van

[@donnycollins1797]

gorgeous man!

[@louissoria1087]

Waiting for my build! Got the same features! With all the bells and whistles. Been 4 months since i put in my order. I hope it starts by end of summer

[@BrokenandCoastal]

It will be worth the wait!

[@frankietaylor5905]

Parking assistance, I am interested in. Will it park itself ?

[@ruffnecktv8420]

🔥🔥🔥

[@peterwharton5649]

I have one question for you I see when you open the two back door on the driver side there is a switch on a little plastic plate I love to know the information on that if you have the information on it and the wire harness I also have the Forde transit high roof

[@ReversePeople]

What an incredible van! Congrats! Can’t wait to see the build. Pardon my rudeness for asking but what did you end up paying for it with those options? Thank you kindly.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

too much

[@ReversePeople]

[@berlindonut5444]

@@BrokenandCoastal jesus whats the big secret! Maybe it will help to negotiate the next dea for someone...

[@BrokenandCoastal]

@@berlindonut5444 $61,060 plus ended up paying an additional $2535 for an extended warranty. When pricing vans out used ones were going for $50k + for just a stock RWD white van. Very happy with the investment.

[@buffalo068]

What dealership did you get that from ? We have been trying to find one ? Also if you don’t mind , how much was that package ? They just came out w/ the Transit trail ! I’d like to compare . thanks

[@randallmiller2017]

Congrats. I'm in Portland as well and ordered a 2022 AWD HR from Newberg Ford. I just found out that mine won't be getting built. Mind sharing which dealership you ordered from?

[@godvsevolutionmythgodvsevo1038]

Nice setup

[@ShredwithEd]

How long did it take for delivery? I'm hoping to finally be able to order the same van in the next couple of months.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

You should expect to wait 6-9 months.

[@deanc.5984]

How much, nice color, do u have head room standing up?? U should have filmed u standing inside. Nice awd, tiny home 👏👏👏👍🍺

[@lesterma1608]

14mpg? Eco boost? My 3.5 regular can get up o 19 mpg awd what was the out the door price mine 52k 2021

[@kenhurley4441]

Fuel tank capacity please. LWB but didn't get the extended. Are you going to diagram it out before building? Looking forward to your build out! How are you going to insulate it? Curious on your heating system with gasoline.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

It has an extended fuel tank. I don't know the capacity. The van is built out now and I made a video you can see on this channel. Went with the Espar Airtronic D2 which taps into the gas. Uses nothing and we've already used it in 7 degree snow storm in BC.

[@van_mod1]

Popular options for insulation are Havelock wool, 3M Thinsulate, Reflectix, and Kilmat.

[@van_mod1]

Extended fuel tank is 31 gallons.

[@bwp253]

What a beautiful van! You are the first person I've seen demonstrate the HVAC controls since they replaced the manual knobs this model year. Can you confirm that it does NOT have automatic climate control? Do the screen controls just replace the physical buttons?

[@BrokenandCoastal]

I am not sure about auto climate control. There are no physical buttons to control the temps. The only physical buttons you have are for the audio, drive mode, camera, and parking

[@bwp253]

@@BrokenandCoastal Thanks. I looked up the owner's manual, and it does look like it's true auto climate control; the three lights correspond to the fan speed range (one = lowest, three = highest). Odd that they don't advertise it that way.

[@jetlee9536]

Nice looking van

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Thanks!

[@3269888]

Same way I would order one.! Same color also. How long did you have to wait?

[@BrokenandCoastal]

I waited 4 months but got lucky with that.

[@MacSociety]

How tall are you and what amount of inches do you have left when standing? I am 5'6" and wife is 5'7" so want to make sure we can stand up inside. What Wheelbase model is yours by the way?

[@BrokenandCoastal]

We are the same height. We can stand in the midroof + sleep sideways!

[@stevencarter7999]

Is this going to replace the Sienna. Or more of a counterpart to the other .

[@BrokenandCoastal]

The plan will be to strip back the Sienna to just being a van. Remove the rack, cargo box, etc. My wife likes driving it over her Jetta so will plan to sell that.

[@aharquail]

I was going to ask the same question.

[@aharquail]

I pretty much did the same thing! We sold our 2013 Jetta Sportwagen TDI and bought a 2006 Sienna AWD last year. Way nicer to drive besides fuel mileage. Now my wife and I both have minivans. But with 2 small kids it's great.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

@@aharquail Yeah def leaning towards selling the Jetta

[@johngarrett2022]

Mine is still on order, what was your timeframe?

[@BrokenandCoastal]

about 8 months

[@njseashorechas2698]

How much can you tow with it?

[@nestogonzo1]

Nice!

[@barewtnss]

Congratulations! How tall is the interior dimensions? What would price difference on your mid roof to a high?

[@van_mod1]

72” mid-roof before adding floor and ceiling components.

[@maxsminimotos]

How tall are you compared to the stand up height inside

[@BrokenandCoastal]

No idea. Sorry.

[@MindBodyMuse]

Do you mind telling us what you paid for this van?

[@kalef1234]

Any reason you went with medium roof vs high roof?

[@BrokenandCoastal]

I like how compact the medium roof is. It looks like a super sized mini van vs a massive high roof. If we lived in the van or had kids a high roof would probably have been a better option. I hit tree branches enough in the MR I cant image having a HR with all the places that I go. At 5'6 I can comfortably stand in it.

[@kalef1234]

@@BrokenandCoastal ahh makes sense. I was thinking this was to be lived in full time but I see. It's quite nice!

[@SuperBacDoc]

Beautiful van! Still have problem with a 6 cylinder engine that can’t tow and gets less mpg than some V8s. Also Ford really dropped the ball with supply, a cargo van shouldn’t have almost a year wait time to get. Guess it’s their way to sell for over retail for someone who really wants one 😢

[@BrokenandCoastal]

I personally don't tow but these transits can tow no problem.

[@joeshmoe8952]

Anyone know if the non ecoboost engines for these vans are any good?

[@van_mod1]

Better fuel mileage with the non-turbo gas six, but less horsepower and torque.

[@zoltrix7779]

Do the north american versions of these vans not have a sealed cargo bulkhead? How do you listen to that crap noise from the rear!

[@BrokenandCoastal]

It's pretty quiet once insulated. The loudest part actually comes from the driver and passenger windows.

[@ericocottrell]

I placed my Transit (specs same as yours) order in Oct 2021 and I’m still waiting. Ford sent me an email in Oct 2021 stating my order was confirmed but I haven’t heard from them since. Did you get email updates? Were the emails accurate as far as a time frame for waiting? Thanks for your video. It gives me some hope haha.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Did you order a Power Sliding Door? It sounds like those are not being made.

[@ericocottrell]

@@BrokenandCoastal no, just a regular manual door.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Hope you get yours! I found the ford transit forum super helpful.

[@BrianLee-nz3vm]

I ordered my 2022 model 10th September 2021 and found out last week that it was not getting built as a 2022. If I want to reorder a 2023 model it will be an extra $7000.

[@ericocottrell]

@@BrianLee-nz3vm I was recently told the same thing. Ford canceled my order for 2022 and I would have to reorder for a 2023 with a higher price. I walked away out of frustration. Couldn’t take the run around game any longer.

[@VoIPPortland]

WeldTek?? makes an interesting 5" lift for this Ford. SIlly for most I supposed, but love the look of a lift and slightly bigger tires.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

They only make a 2" for the AWD and seems like a great solution. I am leaning towards getting it next month since I'll be in the area.

[@van_mod1]

That 5” Weldtek lift is for RWD only. Can’t really go over 2.25” lift with AWD do to the CV angles and front dif height. The Van Compass 1.75” is preferred.

[@Transit_my-way]

Should have gotten the high roof

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Definitely thought about it!

[@markus711]

High roof is no go for drive-through. You need to get starbucks whilst in your pj's 😃

[@createdbydwayne]

How tall are you?

[@BrokenandCoastal]

5'7"

[@OB_shredder]

Great video👍 Is this the long mid roof or regular mid roof?

[@blahblahh8796]

Only 382 miles per tank? Damn my 2.8L express gives me 600+ miles per tank

[@van_mod1]

What is your GVWR?

[@eusko9616]

American cars unfortunately suffer too many faults and are more expensive in every way than those of European or Asian competition.... AMERICA massified the use of the automobile but never learned to make them of better quality, price and competition....

[@BrokenandCoastal]

I chose the Transit over the German made Sprinter for it's reliability and ability to fix it. =)

[@larrybooth2530]

You must be 5'5 to stand up in side and you did not give use the price. Thank's for wasting my time.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Happy to waste your time. Cheers.

[@van_mod1]

Really?

[@MotoMatt418]

That’s awesome. I love the color too. I would have chosen this had I known it was an option. Went with carbonized gray though. When did you put your order in?? Placed mine Dec 1 2021 and it still hasn’t gone into production 🥲
