Very unreliable van

The whole underneath, hall bearing, stearing breaks everytime. Highly unreliable. Will not advise anyone to purchase this van. We work on this vehicle almost every day and it has less than 40,00 mileage when I purchased it

Great driving van

This is a surprisingly great vehicle to drive. The plastic trim parts are poorly executed and rattle, but it can't be beat for drivability. It's also much cheaper to service than my prior Mercedes Sprinter

Reliable van with a V6 gas engine

Great option for a big family or church with tones of room in the back. Can easily fit in a third row seat in the back

So far excellent vehicle, only owned it for 1 week

Very comfortable, performance and fuel mileage are better than expected. Many more comfort options than expected in a cargo van. Heated seats, 10 way electric front seats, navigation, Sirius, blue tooth phone pairing, electric mirrors.

New generation styling and ergonomics,

I was very pleased with the styling and ergonomics of the vehicle. I being rather tall it accommodated my height with comfort and ease of access. The new vans are finally meeting this generations styling, form and function.

Awesome traveling vehicle

Would certainly purchase this vehicle again. This is just the sort of van we were looking for. It is comfy and very roomy and our furbabies love it.

Seller makes the difference!

A cargo van is pretty simple, a box with a motor and wheels. The difference with this van was made by Schrier Automotive. I was taken care of quickly and efficiently. I'll be a Schrier buyer from now on!!!

only owned it 1 month.

radio pre-set buttons too far from driver. climate control knobs could be more accessible . for me the driver seat must be lowered & moved completely back to get up & enter the cargo area, afterwards you have to readjust it to the proper driving position. Will be used as a camper van, and for traveling. MPG could be better.

New Transit 150

I use my work van for a personal car, and I have driven cargo vans since the '70s. This new Transit is different breed from my E-150s and Espresses from the past. The new Transit has a distinctly European feel. The bucket seats (mine is a 6 way power seat) are much more "buckety" that past vans. They are nothing like the Lazy Boy like seats I've had in earlier vans. That's not a bad thing, just be prepared. The controls feel European too. The shifter is a short, dashmounted lever. The turn signal stalk only moves about 3/4" in use. The steering wheel feels smaller with the look of a passenger car. Steering is very light and tight. Where older American made vans leaned and floated through turns, this new van stays flat. Tires these days are harder with less rolling resistance to improve gas mileage, and you will definitely feel the difference if you're moving from an Express or E150. Styling is less "Detroit" with bumpers pulled in tight, little chrome, no spokes on the base wheels, and split front door windows. Even the exhaust note is high and quiet. My 4.3L 6cyl Express had a much lower rumble with the factory exhaust. The engine noise on the new Transit is mostly gear and alternator whine. I did not opt for the EcoBoost turbo. As an old school wrencher, I remembered that turbos add a highly complex (troublesome) extra system to any motor. My friends with EcoBoost trucks say I'm wrong! They enjoy the extra power and mileage, and say the turbo wasn't just bolted on, but engineered for durability. We will see. Visibility is excellent with an enormous windshield and side windows. The rear camera is great to use, and the mirrors are better than past factory units. Yes, I have a few things to get used to but my old van was ready for retirement with 200K miles, and I insist on buying US made trucks. The Express is no longer available with a V6 and 1/2 ton chassis, and the Ram van is a Fiat with upgraded running gear that's built in Mexico. If you need a light, full sized van, my recommendation is the Transit. I purchased my '17 from Mike Raisor Ford in Lafayette, IN.
