I am with the poster above.
The e series vans are old tech. They have been for close to a decade. It blows my mind that these vans still have such a high asking price.
Someone posted a newish Sprinter 4x4 van recently on here that had low miles, the 6 cyl diesel and factory 4x4. you could spend 20 grand on a super nice build out and still be under the price of this thing.
In fact there are brand new ready to go sprinter van 4x4 camper packages for about this price. On a brand new rig.....
I just dont get it.
I have spent a lot of time behind the wheel of the e series. Everything from college vans to ambulances in the last decade. I have never been impressed. I would say that the 7.3 e series with a dual wheel rear end is an amazing work horse. But even in 4x4 I am not sure that is what I would spend my dollars on these days.
After what must be over 100k miles driven in dozens of these vans over the years I can safely say that I am more then turned off by them. They ride for crap, drive for crap, start and stop like a brick and they suck at towing. Even my time spend driving the nice 4x4 package after market modded versions was not impressive.
The 2015 new ford 15 pass transit with teh high output v6 I spent time in this summer as a people hauler for a rafting company... Now that was a job to drive. Clearly apples and oranges to a 4x4 camper van but the point is given what are options are the e series sportmobile 4x4 feels a whole lot like the BFG all terrian. Outdated, overpriced, and underpreforming.
