@86scotty was that a high top or standard height van? But a extra couple MPG is about what I figured would be the net benefit of going to a Transit vs E-Series, although some Transit class C drivers report 8-12 on the highway which is right in line w/ the V10. Not enough of a reason alone to make the change. It'll ride smoother and has some newer features though. The E-series has that solid axle, rugged, simple aspect to it that has appeal in certain environments. I struggle with that knowing it won't be a rock crawler in my use case, so the time spent crushing miles on a highway will be significantly higher than time spent bumping around in 4 low. Although while I've enjoyed the E-series and Sprinters I've driven, I just haven't driven a Transit yet that felt 'right'. Can't place it, something just felt off. Could be the small tires, seating position, who knows. I'm sure if you own one you get used to it and then the other 2 feel strange.
Probably worth noting that there are several companies that sell interior kits for the Transits as a compromise between a full DIY interior and a professional build. AFAIK there's only one company that does that for the E-series.
