I Bought a Ford Transit Trail!

Beyond DANGEROUS. Hitchhiking?😮

[@wasatchdronecompany9367]

Very cool! Can't wait to see the final conversion!

[@jacktyler7599]

Congratulations on the big purchase, Parker. Two thoughts: It was surprising, with all the excellent conversion kit builders in your area (e.g. Timber by Titan Builds) that only a TN business met your needs. And second, if building an 'audience' is important to you, suggest you pick up the pace on posting. Also, thank you for sharing the dealer sticker. Breathtaking!

[@karennevin7101]

Nice. Very nice. This exact vehicle is on our radar also, looking forward to your next steps.

[@WoodyWillisIII]

Salesman knew the sticker price. He was trying to get one over on you. Has happened to me several times. Have to check everything to keep then (if not honest) as least straight.

[@lorkmikko]

Wow nice and very expensive...congratulations

You should look into AVC Rig for your interior. They are great guys and much closer then TN!

[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

Just wondering if u had any issues with the trail specifically the lift (clearance) and suspension? I watched two videos comparing an after market lift verses the one the trail comes with and one uplifter calls it a "Piss Poor lift" Curious yr perspective as an owner. Thanks

Are the seats comfortable for long-distance driving? The 2023 Ford Transit Connect Cargo seats are hard like you are sitting on concrete.

[@ParkerRoams]

They are great. I read some thing when I was shopping around that someone mentioned they could drive all day long in the leather seats and so I made that option a priority. Luckily I was able to find one with them and I’m very glad I got them. Unfortunately, the leather seats were discontinued Last year.

Did you get speakers in the back door?

[@ParkerRoams]

Yes, there is a option to have rear speakers and mine has them

[@NomadicPride]

There were a couple thousand 2023-2024 Transit Trails recalled... did you manage to avoid it?

[@ParkerRoams]

Nope. I’ve had three recalls in 6 months. Yikes!!

[@NomadicPride]

@@ParkerRoams Sorry to hear that. Apparently, the "fixes" amount to turning the Transit Trail back into a regular Transit. This guy shows exactly what went wrong with the Transit Trail and calls Ford out on it directly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXebiX9nac-Moc0

[@alakans216]

Do you have speakers in the back door?

[@mixjon76]

​@@alakans216every cargo gets speaker covers with no speakers in the rear door. Cheaper for Ford to use the same inserts.

[@richardrichardson515]

What's the gas mileage doing

[@ParkerRoams]

Didn’t even look lol. I think 15?

[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

Gas mileage is always going to be way better before the build out and weight of stuff. lol ;)
