Pickuptrucks.com has posted a first drive impression of the Ford Transit. Comparing Transit with Ram Promaster and Mercedes Sprinter:
"The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter rides and drives like a big SUV. It's amazingly easy to drive, has composed highway manners and is highly comfortable and decently efficient. The Ram ProMaster is the exact opposite; it's extremely awkward, tippy and insecure, with a seating position and downward slanting dashboard that makes it feel like braking too hard would send you tumbling over the dash and through the windshield. The Transit rides somewhere in the middle: Its handling is surefooted; it doesn't feel tippy like the ProMaster, and its brakes are strong and firm like the Sprinter. Steering is heavier than in the Sprinter, however, requiring noticeable effort in the heavy-duty models like the Transit 350. That heft contributes to the sense of stability, but also can get a bit tiresome at lower speeds."
