Disappointed worst Ford van I've ever owned

The only thing better about this van in the old Ford vans is the ride. my gas mileage is worse my towing capacity is worse finding tires for it is a pain cockpit configuration is just stupid interior space would be fine if everything was perfectly Square in this world but I'm a contractor and nothing is square I bought the vehicle with 12,000 miles on it it was two years old. I could not be more disappointed in the vehicle I purchased Plain Jane Transit 250 I mean I can't even get load range e Tire for it hopefully the newer models are better but somehow I doubt it very disappointed

Overall Good Work Van

The van drives smooth. Decent interior. Like the cage! Make sure you put studded snow tires on for Winter! Spacious in front and roomy in back.

Worst Van EVER

I bought 2017 transit 250 power stroke diesel and the check engine light keeps on coming on. I only drive about 20 miles per day on it. It’s been at the dealership longer than I’ve been driving it since I got it. They can’t seem to figure out the problem. Don’t ever get this van.

Excellent work truck

2016 Ford Transit 250 Cargo Van. Low roof version. Rear camera with guideline images. Clean title - no loans or liens. New seat covers (some tar stains on original cloth seat covers). New windshield. Purchased in November, 2017. Owner has closed his business and is moving north. Small dent in rear door but both rear doors and rear camera work without any issue. Recently serviced at Charlotte County Ford (oil change, inspection and tire repair). Multi-point inspection revealed no issues. Invoice from Charlotte County Ford is available for buyer?s review. Original warranty still active. 3.7 liter V6 engine. Rear wheel drive. Flex fuel. Spacious cargo bay. There is a step below the rear doors for easy access. Automatic transmission. Carfax available. Two 12 volt jacks and cable plug. I?ve seen the same vehicle listed by dealers (with more mileage) for mid-$20,000s.

EXTREMELY PLEASED

IT IS GREAT FOR MY BUSINESS. VERY COMFORTABLE. MY SHELVING SYSTEM WORKS REALLY WELL, AND I STILL HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ADDITIONAL STORAGE. SURPRISINGLY GOOD GAS MILEAGE.

Recall ford transit

Bought a 2016 ford transit 250 in feb 2018 with 24,000 miles on it. No mention of recall from dealer. April 2018 the drive shaft recall needed fixed-permanent repair with 32,000 miles on it. June of 2018 the van needed another repair for the same problem-the permanent fix broke -van still at dealer waiting for new part. Scared to drive it now. Will i have to replace the permanent repair agsin. Will ford cover the cost?
