    Ford Full Size Transit

    Does the Transit look nicer than the ProMaster? Does anyone know who has the longer cargo deck? Iknow the Sprinter will almost give you a 6' sleeper with the 170" WB but I was hoping the ProMaster or Transit will give you 5' sleeper. That's with a 2 pallet configuration vice 3 pallet which I...

    saving money on fuel

    You can also save at Murphy USA with a WalMart gift card or you can get a Murphy Fleet Card and save .05 cents per gallon. Sometimes in the late summer they run .05 for gift card and .10 cents for fleet card. I did run a van; however, I never understood why I never saw Straight Trucks at...

    Ford Full Size Transit

    I was also wondering about Sprinter warranties. A few years ago when I checked there were only 50 Freightliner and 50 Mercedes dealer Nationwide that were authorized for warranty work. Is this still in effect and is it a little restrictive?

    Ford Full Size Transit

    I was considering a Sprinter;however, it seems as though most Sprinter comments follow that if you're going with a Sprinter you're better off starting with a new one or a Ryder Used. I do like the 170" WB Sprinter but I am turned off by potential repair costs. We ran over 650,000 on our E350...

    Ford Full Size Transit

    They're supposed to put the V6 Turbo Boost in it and that seems to have big success in other models i.e. F150. I know the Penstar V6 had head problems early on, hope these have been corrected.

    Ford Full Size Transit

    Received an e mail from Ford yesterday and they are stating the first Transit's are scheduled to be on Dealer's lot by late June 2014 and it will be a 2015 Van. I am wondering how much available floor space will be available. It seems as though the ProMaster Van will only give approx. 5' for a...

    Cargo Vans - What is your straight through limit?

    I believe my max is over 1,000 if: 1. Well rested 2. At least 90% of Interstate 3. Minimal transit through large urban areas during business hours ,i.e. Chicago, Atlanta, etc. If the weather is bad, snow heavy rain or fog all bets are off. One of the worse things encountered by my experience...

    Tall vans

    Is there any confirmation that the new Transit will be available in the spring. I know that they have gutted the plant at Kansas City to convert but unsure if it'll be available in the spring. Will it be equivalent to size and capacity as the Sprinter Hi Top 170" EXT Wheel Base? I hope so. I'm...

    Sprinter Warranty-Freightliner & Mercedes

    Has anyone had experience with the recent Sprinters with the new warranties? I know that they can only be handled by a select group of dealers nationwide. Does that mean if you break down you have to be towed to one of these dealers? I guess there's only about 100-120 or so dealers in the...

    Beware! Drivers&Owners

    I agree with your opinion. My Son should have been checking his checking account to ensure that routine charges were there; however, that's the whole point of the post. We sometimes check for things on credit/debit cards for false charges but overlook recurring charges that are supposed to be...

    Beware! Drivers&Owners

    My Son was my partner. The company who caused the accident has admitted liabilty; however, until this is concluded there's no payment. Workmans comp is supposed to cover you in the interim until a settlement. It is a constant struggle to get medical help for someone uninsured. He is getting...

    Beware! Drivers&Owners

    Yes CIS was the insurer at the time; however, the manager at Bolt informed them that we're no longer under contract and they dropped us! Perhaps that's why Bolt apparantly now uses a direct deduction from the settlements instead of the drivers individual checking accounts. They required all...
