This is a great build, thanks for documenting it for us. I've often thought of building something similar.

We've been discussing it a bit here: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/this-could-be-a-game-changer-for-some-ford-transit-trail-coming-to-the-us.235501/

Interesting. If that's the case, a tinkerer would probably be better off rolling his/her own rather than opt for this package.

The requirements vary by state.

Hm, nothing too earth shattering. It's disappointing that remote start is apparently excluded. With the exception of the lift, I'm not seeing anything that would compel me personally to purchase a Trail vs. speccing out a regular Transit. It does look like an appealing package for someone who...

What does the window sticker say about the tires? The tires in the video don't look like anything already available to me.

I wouldn't assign any credibility to the window sticker of an early prototype. Teaser footage includes upgraded wheels and tires at the very least, and they don't appear on the window sticker. Why would a prototype have a window sticker anyway? It's probably left over from the donor vehicle.

What's the internal height of that cabover sleeping area? Do you have any specs on the box dimensions?

Great info, thanks!

I was a little surprised to see the prototype van has the larger fuel tank, since it's a 130WB and those are only factory available on the 148WB. How difficult was it to add to the 130WB?

What's the latest news on this conversion? Looking forward to seeing it on the market.

It was, it was called the Access Package.

They're back!

I suspect one problem is what Craig_C referred to. My state has told me they will not allow a cutaway to be registered unless it's been completed by a final stage manufacturer. So unless I buy an existing box truck/ambulance/whatever and remove the box, this option isn't available to me. I...

Fiberine quoted you between 7-12k for a high roof?

I always wondered how they were flying under the radar with this, but I guess they weren't after all. https://www.fcc.gov/document/eb-issues-citation-rugged-radios-equipment-marketing-violations If you're using one of their products, you may want to verify that you're in compliance. Just...

Both have a reputation for performance, too. I remember back in the early 90s routinely hearing a guy on 80 meters using a Bug Catcher. I was always impressed by how he sounded. I haven't been on HF much lately though. Maybe Screwdrivers and HI-Q antennas have everyone sounding like that these...
