Nice job Tony & this will be my first vehicle.

Excellent video Tony.

Great review! Still looking for a van conversion/rv in my retirement. Really like Explorer with the Ford Transit. They're a little pricey. Thanks.

[@meadmaker4525]

Great review. Not too many people do reviews of conversion vans, so it's nice to see this. I like the look of the Ford Transit, inside and out. Do you think it's better than the GMC Savannah Explorer conversion? The Ford looks about the same size, but I haven't seen them up close to compare. Kinda sounds loud on the road in this video, though. What do you think? If somebody gave you the choice, which would you pick and why?

From drivers perspective, transit is much more advanced, but express van just feels like a classic. It’s like comparing Toyotas reliability with everyone else. Powertrain is classic tried and true
