Nice that you are getting a new van but I would have liked to hear more than your troubles with the Bluetooth. What leaks? Roof vent? Doors? Need some details man!!😂👍🏽
So what happened to you. We had a fleet of 35 of these bought new. All of them in recalls 5 times. All at the same time. Our whole business spent at least 100k just in babysitting these trucks through recalls. You didn't spend $945,000 buying 35 of them and another 100k in wasted man hours not to mention all the leaks and ruined merchandise and tools.
@@Gonewithjon The ones I drove were all 2017-2020 and were used as passenger vans. If you got Covid vans and drove them hard with a heavy load, my experience might not apply. Also, they do have their problems-mainly with sensors. One learns to ignore the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree and various bells and chimes going off at the wrong time. And recalls, well, recalls for what? Anything that would make it inop? The biggest problem I remember had to do with the cam drive cassettes. Minus that, we expected to get 500-600k out of them, and they generally delivered-though not without problems. All told I preferred the Econolines. The Transits were much nicer to drive, but at a cost.

I’ve driven these with over 500k on the clock. If maintained, no big deal. Things break. Fix them when they do.

Thinking about buying a 2017 Ecoboost. only thing it has like 214K Miles would you stay away from that?
It depends what they are asking. 214k miles isn't terrible if it was taken care of
Mine has the 3.5 Ecoboost engine.
You think square body vans are scary? I can see why you think blue tooth connectivity issues are catastrophic😅
