Thank you for all of the responses. Due to the large amount of help this forum was I went ahead and bought the 2013 Ford Escape.

Hi I am interested in buying a 2012 Transit Connect XL Van. I have a few requirements that the van must have in order to be able to buy it. It must have the side windows on doors and the rear windows on the back doors. and it must be cheap. So my questions are these: Is the van strong enough to haul around 700 pounds in the cargo area up a hill on a highway. Second how well is the air conditioning in the van - does it well enough ventilate the van? Also how well does the heat work when it is cold in the cargo area *Note that I know there is no vent in cargo area just the one on the dashboard. Also if the van were to sit in the sun for a wile in 85 degree weather with only the front windows down how hot would the cargo are get if it were to sit for around a few hours. Thanks
