And the 7 sp. trans. I like how they went back to the cheaper fuel filter too.

Oh no, I have to count the longest.

I have not seen a single diesel promaster on a lot, from what I have read they are not building them yet. Not sure about the transit, but all of the ones I have seen on dealer lots were gas also.
Another point to make is that the ecoboost engine has 2 turbos and is direct injection, just like the diesel, so complexity wise not much difference between that and the diesel

My dealer says he expects to start seeing them next month. I did just order a diesel Promaster but it will not arrive until December
How much did it end up? The diesel one.

Assuming they still have the $1,000 upfitter rebate and the $1,000 regular rebate in December, it's going to cost just under $39,000, tax included, for a 3500 159" wb extended.
Does that price include the air ride seat?
Pretty good price.
Don't know what state you live in, but in some states you don't have to pay sales tax if the van is used in interstate commerce. I know Ohio and Tennessee are like that. Check it out, you might save some money.

Anyone notice how long one of the wiper blades is on the Transit? .......30" in case you're wondering....WTH???...lol.....The reason I know it is 30" is a driver friend of mine, king of expedite loads, got out and measured this wiper blade of Mondo lengths.....I think they need to re-con****ulate this a little...lol....

I seem to recall when Dodge was selling the Sprinters how so many on here were complaining about cost of repairs and "no parts to be found syndrome". I also remember reading how much they were paying for broken Turbo's. I hope the Engineer who designed that turbo isn't responsible for the dual turbo's. He'll probably get a good laugh from that. So to my point, has Chrysler changed that much?
I don't know if you can do it if you are not already signed on with a company.
My friend was already signed on, bought the van, didn't pay the taxes at the dealership, but got a bill from the state to pay the taxes. Then he provided them with the lease, etc and never heard back from them yet.
You can try it, the worse that can happen is that you have to cough up 2k or so for the taxes later on, instead of up front.
You will pay sales tax no matter what. The Gov will get there money my friend, trust me.
