I'm toying with the idea of selling my van and replacing it with an AWD 2020 ford transit. My van has served me well on trips from the arctic ocean to the guatemalan border, but I've only used 4 low once, and would like to trade off road ability for better street manners.
Here's a quick summary:
2001 Ford E350 extended body 7.3 liter powerstroke, with high roof topper (6'2" headroom inside) and quigley 4wd system. The chassis is basically stock, except for some rear spring helpers and bilstein shocks all around. Second owner, 151K miles.
It has a basic home made interior with fiberglass insulation, varnished wood wall panels, a backseat, bed platform, and cabinetry. Kitchen consists of a fixed propane tank on the chassis, propane stove/grill, Dometic 60 quart chest fridge, and ikea cabinets with a corian countertop. 200 watts of solar on the roof with 2 AGM house batteries and an MPPT controller.
Van is mechanically great, but the exterior shows souvenirs of past adventures: numerous scratches, and a couple of minor dents.
Looking forward to what the experts think.
