I read this thread and many like it with a
heavy heart.
So many are foaming at the mouth to get a cheaper to buy/ cheaper to operate 3 pallet hauler.
Yeah, lets flood market.
If not right away, once the first round of trade in hits everyone can fight over the three pallet loads cheaply.

Watch what you wish for.....
Maybe they should paint them all yellow . CAUTION Yellow.

I hear you bro. But those yellows, just like us, have bills to pay and family to feed. They are here and will be here (until?). I would rather use the energy and time finding the solution to improve my current situations. At the end of the day, we are a businessman. We know how to find the solutions.

Thanks for sharing :)

I think the new Ford versions are built with us in mind (expeditors).
Maybe, but with a 148" wheelbase and a 26 gallon fuel tank, I think they are after the much larger market of the construction trades and local delivery.

Yes pretty much agreed that most of the sales will go to Joe Plumber types. Though within the Joe Plumber types, the main function of the van would still be cargo movements.

This is where the marketing research teams are good at. They know who and what businesses are moving those cargo.

It's more like blip, blip, blip...They were here on the EO and still lurking. I'm very confidence that we, the expeditors, played very powerful part in their production's decision. Even our numbers are smaller than the Joe Plumber, they still can count on our consistent paychecks...because we needed the vans.

We have been on their radar...see link, second paragraph.


Market research drives product development at Ford

We are nothing but a mere gnat to them. Rental car/truck companies and contractors are much more in their view than the few of us out here.
