I explored the Transit that was equiped for use by a handicapped person who used an electric cart. The vehicle was totally wonderful -accessibility plus - making any problems worth enduring for the mobility the vehicle offers. If only I could identify a grant or other method of financing one vs. conventional bank financing which, as we all know is a thing of the past.
To answer your question: I wasn't able to discern any obvious short-comings; I believe Ford has even added an extra highway gear to reduce winding the little 4 pot engine too tightly.
