Family Review of Ford Transit Wagon 2016

[@gregorylightnerjr8513]

All these years later and your review sealed the deal for me. 6 children and three adults for a total of 9. I'm 6'8 and my son the only boy is 6'3 at 15 and this van is perfect. Salute and blessings to you brother 🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@peternelson9259]

Mr. Pollock, thank you! Your video convinced my wife she didn't really want a minivan, and we bought a 2015 Transit Wagon 350 XLT, today. From your video to my driveway: three days. Our trade-in van was an E-150 to which we added 115K miles over 8 years, so this one should be with us for a decade or more.

[@chrispollock5729]

Happy to help.

[@kellyobrien-fairley7823]

Thank you for sharing this. We have 11 children, all adopted, and we are struggling to find something that could work. I love how you point out some of the good features. We will look for those.

[@truthsmiles]

Your whole family is strangely good at videography - especially your wife. She was always focused on the relevant thing and no jerky motions at all. Nice work, and nice video. Thanks for putting this together. Very informative!

[@stoneageidaho]

We also have seven kids, and I've discovered they grow as well. We went from a mini van to a Durango to an excursion, now this is looking like a life saver. Thanks for the review

[@thecannonyt7117]

We are also from Rochester but left Ny for a better life down here on a nice big farm in Tennessee. We are looking at this year vehicle and wanted to know if you STILL feel the same way a few years later down the road. Did you have any issues with motor, transmission, etc, in a few years wear and tear?

[@njrivetelite]

I wanted a great overall look at the Ford Transit Wagon and you guys did a great job covering what I wanted to know about the vehicle. It was really nice that you involved your entire family with the review. 7 Kids wow, you and your wife are very blessed.

[@ryanprentice1232]

+Brian Michael agreed. If you want a decent review, just ask a decent honest family, rather than someone trying to sell a vehicle. I was surprised about the design flaw on time line 2:45

[@TERRORoftheLORD]

Dito!

[@natelee78]

Great video! We just purchased a used one of these for our large family (5 kids - 3 boys, 2 girls). I found it interesting that you have a Micah, Isaac, and Caleb, which are the names of our 3 boys!

[@marcomachado8327]

Great review Chris. I am a vehicle development engineer in a car company in Brazil and I would say that your/your kids review was very good and very detailed. Useful for those planing to buy or rent one of these vehicles.

[@TessieDobey]

We have eight boys and have been searching for a van to accommodate us and out stuff for a long cross country trip this summer (2016) and this fan will absolutely work. Thank You for sharing

[@JustAGrl007]

YOU SHOULD STOP BREEDING! YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL! All of these ASSumptions without any basis. I wish you would show your face and stop being an internet thug. I'm sure your fingers hurt typing all of these hateful comments. Maybe you should use the internet to review www.dictionary.com or to google "manners".

[@mr.universe1907]

+James Wisrik lol shut up James

[@NoName-rm3db]

James Wisrik Don't tell people how to live their lives jackass I think your the one who should stop breeding.

[@willmerrifield3947]

Great work mama on 8 kids we have 6 and 1 on the way!

[@Evil_Morty2000]

Will Merrifield idiot

[@Michelle-pr9nz]

awesome video! my daughter who just turned 6 found your kiddo playing peekaboo hysterical!! she kept rewinding the video so she can see him pop up when you were in the drivers seat! we have 4 but will have 5 before long and we were trying to decide between a ford transit and a suburban. Thanks for helping!!

[@calebkortuem]

I like how you let the kids pitch in with the review. Parenting win.

[@jesusfreak3x7]

Pollock family, we just bought ours and I found your review after buying ours. We went with the medium roof and sliding door. I wanted to let you know that you can stream from your Bluetooth device but there is a small catch. Only the primary device can stream the audio and the only way I've been able to get it to do it is by voice command. In the owners manual you'll find a section about voice commands and it's listed first. It took a couple tries my first time but it does work. And just an FYI, for anyone wanting one in the Kansas City area, they've got several and the plant is right here in KC which makes ordering them way easy!

[@MrThatmantim]

I have a 12 passenger transit as well. What you can do to alleviate the sunlight through the windshield since it's so big is to have the very top tinted. It helps a lot when you're driving with the sun in your eyes. Make sure that you check your local laws to make sure that they allow it.

[@WizzRacing]

If you want to find where the wind noise is coming from, use painters tap on the seams around the doors and ducts. Then see if it goes away. You will have found the culprit and maybe a fix fashioned. I find most are around the door jams at the bottom and front.

[@HardlyAMemory]

I just found this. Bought our 2015 12 passenger a few days ago. So far, I love it. We have 6 kids with significant disabilities, so teens plus adaptive strollers (like a wheelchair but looks like a stroller). We did buy the 60/40 door. The step down is a bit of a problem for my kids but I found an aftermarket running board. My friend bought the same van over the summer with the high top. Their running boards are too narrow.We did remove the single seat next to the door. The second row of seats (two rows behind the drivers seat) is short on leg room. We don't really need that one, and it allows for easier access to the rear seat for my kids who have physical challenges. We LOVE LOVE LOVE all the space in the back. I (mom) am primary driver and really like how this vehicle handles. It surprisingly drives like a car. I did take it to an empty church parking lot to practice parking. ;-) The back up camera makes me nauseous but I'm trying to get used to it. I never EVER used it in my Sienna. I am missing having the center console, but at the same time I get get to the back without getting out of the vehicle. There is a LACK of cup holders in the back!!! Our first McDonalds experience was an issue. LOL The only thing I'm really worried about is the fact I'm in MN. So far we're having an insanely easy winter, but snow is coming. I don't remember the last time I drove a rear-wheel drive in the snow, so this will be very interesting.

[@suzybrown3305]

Thank you so much! We're a family of 7 and you're so right, there is not a lot of info out there about using large vans for families! You answered all my questions. :)

[@stevenlove200]

Well done Chris. I learned alot more from your video than talking with anyone at dealers or exploring Ford's confusion website. Thanks so much !

[@rebeccawhite1162]

This is awesome! We have 10 children and have been looking into getting one of these. It’s very hard to find family reviews on these types of vehicles.Thank you for all the information. 😁

[@torquer9669]

Nice review from a family that uses the space. Glad Ford brought this van to market!

[@melissavansaun5081]

Thank you so much for this video!!! We are in search of a new vehicle that will accommodate 5 kids and possibly 4 adults. Quick question...all of my kids are in car seats...do all the seats have the anchors for the latch system?

[@chrispollock5729]

Not all the seats, but many.

[@StanleyDWilliams]

Chris (and wife camera person?) ... we just bought a used 2015 15 passenger transit, but without the rear camera and backup sensor option (which we would have really liked). WE loved meeting all your handsome boys. One of our grandsons is a Caleb and another is Micah. We did not hear the low noise rumbling like I heard on your vehicle. We were pleased with the quietness of our Flex (before we totaled it), but were surprised at how quiet the Transit was, especially after our Ford E150 cargo van. We're fans of Tom Holzer Ford in Farmington HIlls, MI.

[@ormand3000]

Interesting review, and I can tell you're a good father to your children. So much patience!

[@shadricosuave]

You're our kind of family. We bought a slightly different model today. Will be sure to show you guys. Thanks for the review.

[@mlelmendorf]

Expecting 6th this year. Looking at one of these big guys. The non sliding side doors might be deal breaker for us. I could just see one of our boys denting the crap out of a car next to us.

[@reflectionprogression2210]

Adorable family...thx gor the review..I have 6kids and we are a tall family...this will be our next family vehicle.

[@masoelli]

Hi from Atlanta, Pollock Family! Thank you for the review. Very helpful. Trying to get husband to move to this. We have 6 kids and we ALSO have an Oliver and a Simon!! God bless you all.

[@rsz90182]

I bought one yesturday. Traded in my Transit Connect for this XLT 350. Its dream to drive and it does take getting used to since you cannot use the center rear mirror to see. My seat arangement is alot different than yours but I will be removing some seats. I have 3 boys.

[@a.pimentel]

man Chris I really appreciate you for making this vide. you have answered my questions just by covering informative details. thanks man

[@DavidRChapdelaine]

Chris - thanks again for posting this. We bought our large-family-mover Transit 350 last week, partly because of your information shared in the video. I may post a response to your video on KZbin in next few weeks as well. Great ride so far. We did end up with a 12-pass, do you know/have you heard if anyone has added the additional seats to the back of a 12 to increase capacity?

[@DavidRChapdelaine]

Also, ours is silver!

[@chrispollock5729]

+David R Chapdelaine I don't know if anyone has, but you can check out the Little Passenger seat company. I had some seats from them for my Suburban. I'll let your dealer know where to send the commission check :)

[@VideoSpecialtiesLa]

I have the same van but in a 12 passenger. I added a third party console for $79 and mounted it in between the front seats. I now have 4 more drink holders and extra rear 12v power outlets. The stock small console is really not big enough. I also went to Sam's and got interlocking 1/4 inch foam panels to cover all of the carpets. i also recommend getting one with running boards. Overall, this is a great van.

[@JesusGarcia-oq8to]

Its great to hear a review from an actual consumer rather than from someone trying to sell it to you...

[@chrispollock5729]

Right.. yeah, I wish people had stuff like this when I was looking, that's why I did it!

[@OfficerPaterFamilias]

Thanks for the review brother. You guys have us beat by one kid so far!

[@Mommyofdouble11]

Thank you so much! I have 4 kids but I nanny 2 extra! We are in the market for the 12 passenger van. This video is very honest and helpful!

[@aggreennow]

I enjoyed the video it was very informative. I really enjoyed the cameos from your family. Thanks for sharing!

[@jeffl8725]

I have the same van and get the same air buffering sensation. Love the van and it’s soooo easy to clean!

[@kyraturner3670]

On our 6th and we are looking for something.. your video was just was I was looking for! A family perspective. Great video.

[@davidhollfelder9940]

I bought be of these (2016 Transit 350 XLT), identical to this one, used (1 1/2 year old) that just came off lease for 25k. It's a wonderful van that hasn't quite caught on yet .. it beats the pants off any Suburban/Yukon type of vehicle .. took some of the seats out that were not needed. FYI, the "standard" factory radio that came with it, could not be upgraded to a Sync 3 without enormous $. A Pioneer NEX, with iMeastro interface and SiriusXM option, with Metra mounting system works Great! In this van.

[@msspider766]

Thanks for the video. We are thinking about renting one for a road trip. You answered my questions on if it would be a good choice for 8 adults and bags. It seems perfect for us.

[@davetritt7139]

Thanks for posting this! We have a 2015 Transit 350 with 52,000 miles on it now, and so far it has been great. I would definitely recommend the sliding door option if you have kids in car seats- when you're parked next to another car, it can be difficult to remove the car seat with the swing-out type doors. Also, with young kids, they tend to "fling" the doors open and damage vehicles parked next to them. We get 16.5 mpg around town and over 19 mpg on the highway. These vans can be picked up used in the $23-27,000 range with low miles. My only regret is getting a 12 passenger instead of the 15. Our kids are getting older, so I didn't think we'd need all the seats- but I was wrong. Power is less than our 2009 Chevy Express, but then we only got about 11 mpg in the Chevy. I'll give up a few ponies for the huge increase in fuel economy! If you really want more, you can always go with the twin turbo Eco Boost engine.

[@chrispollock5729]

Do feel like the sliding door is holding up under the abuse, I know that was a concern that we had.

[@BillyLapTop]

Think of the interior as a cavity. The rumbling occurring at different speeds are resonances that you can hear at certain road vibrations. Resonances can also have harmonics and you may hear variation of frequency of the vibrations. It is a natural result between the interior cavity and the road vibrations.

[@chrispollock5729]

Yeah, that sound right

[@89Hols]

You should be able to bluetooth stream music from your phone, I have a '14 Escape with Sync. After your phone is linked, tap the media button, then look for a button that says BT. Our Escape has the same screen/ radio package you guys have. On ours BT is on the bottom of the screen, we have these little 'bumper' buttons that tip left or right that don't have any labels on them directly, but perform the actions labeled on the bottom of the screen. Selecting BT (Bluetooth) will let your music play over the stereo. Try this out, if you can't figure it out let me know, I can post a video of me doing it. Not sure if the button layout in the Transit is the same, so your procedure may vary slightly.

[@chrispollock5729]

+89Hols Yeah we finally figured it out.

[@hollythomson8300]

Thanks for sharing this video on the ford transit wagon. I totally get it, we have 5 children, and they are getting bigger. With lots more stuff. We currently drive a 2001 Ford Expedition with 150,000 miles on it, and things are really tight inside. I wanted the suburban for the longest time but we just can't pay $60,000! So I test drive the transit just last week (12 passenger) and LOVED. LOVED it!! We are getting a black one with tinted windows... I can't wait! Your kids are to cute BTW!! Enjoy your van and drive safe 👊🏻🙏🏻

[@Evil_Morty2000]

Holly Thomson birth control works wonders

[@toome8287]

Holly Thomson & Chris Pollock Great review indeed. Expecting number 10 in June. This help so much to look for a bigger vehicle from my 9 passenger. Thank goodness husband have a car for more room, but will love to get this for everyone to fit together.

[@Evil_Morty2000]

A Cup of Tea you do realize the world is only big enough for a limited amount of people,it’s not stretching,resources are running out,essentially these kids are the ones who are going to suffer in the long run,think about it for a second

[@danielho5635]

Thx for the review. I personally suggest tinting the windows -- especially the front windows. Having the front windshield top 3-6 inches tinted makes a HUGE difference in driving safety for me. I don't have to use the sun visor as much and it acts like wearing sunglasses (which I do already). I'm in HI and had my Subaru tinted out and it's wonderful: greater privacy, less heat in Summer, protects eyes from UV (99% UVA UVB rejection), etc. The bottom 90% of my front windshield is also tinted 70% transmission rate and reduces the heat by 50%. Thx. again for the review.

[@elizabethheffernan5240]

Your kids are adorable! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this review--extremely helpful!

[@Gr8nessnMe070]

Chris, great video! Thanks for making it. Ford should pay you for doing a better job than the dealer did today for me. They were ZERO help. You were excellent! I will be getting one now!

[@chrispollock5729]

Yes, I'm waiting for my commission check to come in, but I think I'm going to be waiting awhile :)

[@danielho5635]

for safety when backing up, I suggest rolling down the window a little so you can hear better your environment around the van -- and turning the radio off of course.

[@stephaniecremeans1253]

Thank you so much for this video. Thank you for having the car seats in because we have 2 reverse facing, 2 in forward facing and 3 in boosters and us adults are both over 6 ft tall.

[@ajabelly]

Thank you for this review! We were on the fence about getting a Transit and this helped a lot! We picked ours up today and we love it!

[@chrispollock5729]

+ajabelly That's great... I should ask your dealer for a commission :)

[@mfriedenthal1]

Thank you for this video. I have been doing a bunch of research on these vehicles. We are looking to get one really really soon for our 8 kids.

[@NorCalExplorer-JS]

Thank you for the walk through on the Ford Transit. Ford should take note of your review to improve next years model.

[@Igor-q3f]

maybe I'm wrong but when you press the media button on dashboard it should stream from your phone through bluetooth.

[@erikeburns]

We removed the entire back row and built a deck with a "trunk" storage drawer on the left and a fold up on the right so we can still slide large items into the aisle.

[@chrispollock5729]

Interesting, got pictures to share?

[@moviewatcher1024]

White is my all time favorite color for all my vehicles...especially for pickup trucks and vans. Your white van looks specular! The only thing I would do is to add a set of factory alloy wheels. If they offered a turbo diesel option I would definitely take it. In something like a large family van a turbo diesel can increase the fuel economy by as much as 70%.

[@jingz9930]

It's very nice. what type of driver's licence will be needed to drive this van?

[@90758kelly]

Chris, are you still happy with the van?

[@chrispollock5729]

Yes, still very happy with it.

[@Ricardo-ce3ce]

So i have 0 children but i'm in the market for a cargo van and love the passenger vans alot more because of the rear insulation so it's not boiling hot during the summer months and also 8 speakers included plus windows all round , so my question is how hard is it to remove the rear seats

[@FCV0511]

If I'm not mistaken they come in units of two and three, and are designed to be removed easily. Double check with a Ford dealer to be sure though.

[@6ec6YRFPTcC]

you need that intercom system like Toyota has in the Sienna

[@maximilianoluera6679]

It's nice that ford put the seats on both sides of the vehicle. All the other 15 passenger vans roll over a lot because all the seats are offset to one side.

[@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell]

wow the stuff people come up with. Rollover were due to high center of gravity, and the how much the body extended beyond the rear axle. The old dodge vans were the worst for that.

[@mrdojob]

The "offset" seats are actually pretty central to the vans centre line so won't cause much of a problem. You have to remember that these things can take just over a ton of weight so you need some seriously fat people to effect them.

[@KingBaldEagle1984_Prosperity]

This is my next Taxi Vehicle. I love the features

[@andrewjacobsen3984]

great video. we're thinking about getting this for our family of 8. thanks!

[@superdad4879]

Me and me wife are gonna need one here soon our boy is in a wheel chair. Plus three other kids.

[@meyawabdulaziz3863]

..woah...youve got your little own army there,,, well im trying to get this as the cargo version and turn it into a "portable machines shop" with a small lathe inside... wondering how does she go..

[@revolution51]

1:05-Where is the drum set.? Did you get a towing package.?

[@bsachebsache708]

Good review! We have one and you covered it very well.. One thing I would add is that the single seats on the left (facing the back) are smaller than the other seats. I also, so wish we could make the 5th row a 4 seater as well making it a 12 seater with the whole back space as cargo. I may should have bought a 12 seater for that, but had the misunderstanding that we could arrange the seats however we wanted. Great job!

[@jonasthompson3852]

Are you still loving your van, or are there issues that you have come across since making this video? I am looking to buy one, but when I saw the inside of one I was shocked at how narrow the seats are. We plan on picking up tourists and driving them to different locations, but the size of the passenger seats makes me nervous about hauling over-sized tourists, especially if we fill the van with 15 people.

[@chrispollock5729]

Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of town, but we still like it! I don't love the fact that there is a recall on the driveshaft, but they are fixing the issue, so I guess it will be fine. We haven't had any problems with it and have enjoyed driving it for almost 2 years now!!!

[@flixexz]

I hate having to deal with the drive shaft recall. It needs to be replaced every 30k miles. I use mine as a commercial vehicle so i easily drive 10k miles a month. Other than that, the van is great.

[@JRU1977]

Very nice video! I just purchased the 2018 Transit 350HD. I absolutely love it! Only complaint I have is no armrest on passenger front seat. Other than that it’s great. I am 6’ 1” and have to reach up to touch the roof. Loving it!

[@cydneyjohnson7052]

Which of the seats have the lower LATCH anchors for rear facing child seats?

[@chrispollock5729]

Not sure, many do, but not all.

[@dkstidd5]

There are 3, the outside seats on that first bench and the "middle" of the next row.

[@chrish4977]

I have been thinking about buying one of these but I want an actual cargo van. But can you add 4 more seats in just a cargo van I would assume that the mounts would still be built into the van. Did you come across any info that you could add seats to a cargo van.

[@angoraknitter]

Car seat comparability? Can you compare this to the Nissan NVP? Specifically how many latch equipped seats are there, where? Forward facing tethers anchors, and where? And with those car sickness prone kids, do any of the rear windows open?

[@chrispollock5729]

+angoraknitter Sorry for the delay. I don't have all the answers to these questions. I can say that NOT all the seats have latch. I'm not sure how many do or don't, I'd have to count. We did not get rear opening windows, but it does have vents that blow cool air at every row (back controls are separate). We you can get opening windows, but you have to get the privacy glass which is quite a bit more. We haven't had any trouble with any of our car seats, and we have the full gammit of them. As far as comparing to the Nissan, I've commented about it in some of my other comments. Check those out. Did you have a specific question?

[@mattgore293]

+Chris Pollock +angoraknitter - There are about the same number of anchors in the 12 passenger Transit as the NVP, although the seats are a little wider in the NVP. We still chose the Transit because visibility is much better for our kids (as Chris mentioned in the video). We got the 10 passenger Transit though, because it's the only seating arrangement that you can get leather in (good luck finding it, we had to special order)

[@tenonwheels]

Good review, Chris. Good info to have since we don't expect to be out of the van market any time soon. A few questions. You're 6 feet tall. Can your older sons see over the dash board sufficiently, if he were to drive it? (I'm thinking 5 feet tall). That is our biggest beef with the older Ford design. Also, economics: Nobody drives a van for great gas mileage, but what kind of MPG are you experiencing? What was the 'out the door' price, if you don't mind me asking? Can it be maintained (serviced) locally? Or do you need to take it to Avon? (Given the sales staff aren't up on these vans, would their service people be?) Vents-do the people in the back get adequate heat and ac? Do the windows in the back open? What about the flooring? Vinyl, carpet, other? Seat comfort-especially on longer drives? Seat covering, leather, vinyl, clothe? Thanks again for the tour.

[@vlampo]

Thank you for your informative video. Have you figured out the highway MPG? Thank you. Vincent

[@chrispollock5729]

+Vincent Lampariello It's around 14/15

[@willthethrill8766]

thanks for posting this. I just bought one and couldn't be happier but the only thing is that I hear a whining noise almost like a power steering pump but it's not. I think I can I can hear the same kind of noise on your video, someone said it could be the way they are made. do you hear a winning noise at all? thanks again

[@Nick_Greenfield]

Good review of the van. We're most likely going to need one of these next year and I like the Transit over the others. Thanks!

[@chrispollock5729]

A friend of ours just borrowed our for 5 months when we were in England and they ended up buying one for themselves.

[@jaz12disney]

Thank you so much for doing this review. We are looking to get get a bigger van and you did a great job. This is the best I've seen so far. I love how's it's a family point of view instead of the dealerships. I had a question does the passengers in the back get cup holders?

[@AdamG1983]

We just bought a used '18 Transit 350 XLT (12 passenger), and we don't have that noise. So not sure if it's exclusive to the 15 seater or not

[@osamens9346]

Hi there, great video . quick question on fuel consumption and the price of the van .....thank you

[@kendallrailing6683]

Hi Chris. Great review. Thank you. How does it handle in the winter for you when the roads are snow covered or icey? Kendall

[@Nozzlejockey2]

thanks for your video, I ended up with a Used 2018 Mid roof Transit 150. It too is in white. I will be taking out most of the seats in the rear as I will be installing a wheelchair lift with Automatic tie down system. so if anyone needs some more seats I will have a few. Mine is a 10 Passenger. but will end up only keeping maybe just the rear bench seat. so far this is a great van.

[@IceEmpress]

I will be renting one to drive my family and my brother's family to Disney (four adults, three kids), but we would get the smaller version. I have been worried about it but after watching your video I am a bit relieved.

[@gregcrook3436]

I liked your video, including your kids was a nice touch. I wish they would have an awd or front wheel drive version, there is an option for a limited slip differential which might help in slippery conditions. I would still buy one but not white. In Europe and other countries they have awd, fwd versions. It can also be equipped with a 6 speed manual, I would love it!

[@elainebradyanderson-wood5858]

Thanks for the helpful video! How does this van compare safety-wise to older vans with the roll over issues? Any ideas?

[@chrispollock5729]

+Brady Anderson-Wood I know it's not rollover tested. I'm not sure because we haven't rolled it over yet :) I know a friend of mine was uncomfortable with the roll over and went for the NV which is smaller but has a longer wheel base.

[@japarker0223]

Great review. You mentioned that is was easy to remove the last 2 seats, what about if you needed to remove one of the middle sections? How easy or difficult is it? Thank you

[@chrispollock5729]

I haven't done it, but I'm pretty sure it can be done with a star wrench.

[@bigjoe2458]

I like the barn doors better also. Is your van the longest model. do front seats swivel?

[@chrispollock5729]

Front seats don't swivel.

[@wangjialei1985]

Thank you for sharing Chris. I have a question: How did you buy this configuration? I checked Ford website and I cannot configure 15 passengers unless I accept the high roof. However, I cannot buy a high roof. You have a low roof but 15 seats Transit. How did you make it? Thank you.

[@yisiliu6166]

Hi Chris Pollock. I don't like sliding door. Do you think regular door is safer than sliding door?

[@chrispollock5729]

I don't know about safer, but I think the barn door style will last longer.

[@frankmolina9761]

God Bless you your wife and family. lots of luck with your new car. me and my husband are just looking into the same one. if you can please tell me how it on gas.:)

[@frankmolina9761]

i'm. useing my husband's. ipad. my name is Debra. :)

[@chrispollock5729]

Sorry for the late reply, about 15-20 MPG

[@willmerrifield3947]

This is exactly the video I was looking for. I’m 95% sure we are getting the transit 15 passenger. Love how you set the seats up. What engine did you get? Could you tell me the exact style you got and what features other than the larger screen you wished you had. We are thinking about getting the roof that is in the middle between the shortest and tallest.

[@christinajackson126]

I love a big family. 😊😊😊 thanks for doing this video. I have to drive for a family trip and the ford transit wagon is a must.

[@adammedina9628]

Pollock Family, The Medina Family in Seguin, TX really enjoyed watching your Ford Transit video. We are a family of 8 (5 boys 1 Girl). We are really considering buying one of these. All the Pollock boys were great actors and commentators in the video. I especially like the one that was hiding in the back seat and then popped up. Great job everyone. Very informative. We do have a question about the stereo and how it works and sounds if you plug iPad or Iphones to it. Are there any headphone jacks or charging stations in the back? Also how is the gas Milage? Thanks again for making a great video - The Medinas

+Adam Medina Hi Adam, Yes, the ipad and iphone work when you plug into it. It has USB and a headphone jack. The sync system is voice activated. A little confusing, but I'm hoping to dig into it more. I'm getting about 14/15 MPG. Better on the highway obviously. See my followup video for more details. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJvUeIGspKqIgM0

+Adam Medina Oh, and not headphone jacks in the back. I think there may be an 12 V adapter back there, but I'm not sure where it is.

hey Christmas maybe you'll see this i know its been awhile. Does each seat have seat anchors AND tethers or just some?

Transit vans have been made for the UK and Europe plus Australia and New Zealand market for over 50 years . Originally made for commercial use and popular as a Tradesman Van with Electricians , Plumbers etc , have found popularity as base vehicles for camper van manufacturers and the self-build camper fraternity . You will find information on Ford UK, AU and NZ websites as well as Wikipedia and KZbin . :)

This was such a helpful video! Thank you for making and posting this! (We are expecting baby #7 in March.)

Amber Peterson Alright; large family rock. Yes, video helped indeed. Expecting number 10.

2 wheel drive power to both rear wheels ? Please tell me it's not one rear wheel drive? Does it distribute power to both and sense loss of traction and send more power to one for snow and ice?

[@chrispollock5729]

+ludmilla roman I don't have the impression that it only supplies power to one rear wheel. I'm not sure of any vehicles like that. It does have traction control to stabilize the vehicle in adverse conditions.

+ludmilla roman You can order a limited slip rear end.

great video I have 5 boys.

Nice! Thanks for the review. I love your big family and big car. It's driving me crazy that I can't find any search-engine for used cars that lets me specify the number of passenger capacity required (8+) .

[@mrdojob]

Just try and look for any full sized vans. Anything car related isn't going to be in the criteria you want. I'm sure you'll find minibuses among the industrial cargo vans.

Do you know if you can remove the middle seats rather than the back row?

[@chrispollock5729]

I've never tried, but I think you can if you have the right wrench.

[@paulmatenaer7985]

Chris, I cannot thank you enough for this video. I'm a father of six, and we're trying to do research, but as you say, no one seems to be very knowledgeable or willing to help us. This is incredibly helpful. Can you tell me what are the dimensions of the trunk space if you only have 12 seats in? It seems from the video that it is at least 2 feet deep, but it is hard to tell. Thanks in advance!

[@DavidRChapdelaine]

Hey father, we just got the 12, it's a little deeper than 2 feet without those rear seats. Also, if you find the 15, I say go for it...and then just remove the seats for trunk space...then you can add them later.

We're looking to rent one of these to go on a out of state trip and this was very informative. Im glad to know we'll have enough room for everyone and our luggage =)

[@NolanRamler]

Excellent video! Very informative. Thanks. Looking for something like this for my big family too
