Nothing to worry Harp man, while they may be a new vehicle to the USA, many places in the world have been using these vans for decades. Quite a few cleaners in Australia utilize transits for years. The VW, Fiat, Iveco Mercedes Benz leaves the fords for dead in regards to power, and reliability - however the Fords are normally ALOT cheaper to purchase.
BUT it's American! :roll: ...oh wait, it's not American, It's Ford of EU built all over the World, might last a big longer.
I've seen the VW, Fiat, Iveco, Citroen's, even Transit's for well over a decade, but I also travel overseas at least once a year.
When Fiat brings the Doblo over to the US it'll kill the smaller Transit sales, than again it's American (I mean EU spec, maybe it won't since it has an US brand name). The Doblo is one of the nicest smaller carvo/passenger vans I've seen, used as a taxi as well. If Fiat brings their smaller cargo van under Dodge/Chrysler (which they own), it could hurt Ford's transit sale. Perhaps that will be what they'll do, in another decade or 2.
