Same here. I just chalk it up to it not being a luxury vehicle.

Like I said earlier, a small bike fits fine but anything with a tall windshield or a mid-size and up cruiser or sport tourer won't work. Too bad because all other things considered it's a great van. If I wanted a van for primarily motorcycle transport I'd check out the full size Ram or the big Transit.

Same here, but I've been looking for a set of Volvo wheels for my 2014 TC cargo van. Most will fit and there are plenty to choose from. Try this site: http://forums.swedespeed.com/forumdisplay.php?48-Wheels-Tires-Classifieds

Not to be a jerky internet guy but the author really needs a proof reader and an editor. His basic sentence structure is very poor and makes for difficult reading. I do like his take on the van however.

I have about 5400 miles, and according to my record book I'm getting a bit more than 1 1/2 mpg more now than I was right off the lot.

24 overall

No problem....but then again I avoided the highway and there's no hills around here.

Well over 1,000lbs in my LWB. I own a pizza place and this is about 4 days worth of flour.

Initially I was getting 21mpg but that has steadily increased to almost 24. other than the occasional long road trip I drive exclusively in the suburbs. My commute is six miles and consists of seveal intersections/traffic lights.

They're the cloth manually adjusted bucket seats. I'm thinking about replacing them with something from a salvage yard...maybe an Escape or Fusion.

At this pace I'm averaging very close to 10k miles a year. This van should last me 12-15 years without a major expense if I keep up on the maintanence.

Yes.

Just rechecked my figures from the log book I keep in the glove box: highway mpg is 31. My bad...but still very good.

No..just did the math. Cruise control and virtually no traffic or hills. I was surprised myself.

I now have 5k on my 2014 LWB cargo version. Just took a 750-mile camping trip (two adults and a medium sized dog..enough provisons for 4 days) and everything went great. I average 37 mpg on the highway at appx 70mph. Seats over that duration were decent enough...I'm not sore but I can't say we cruised in total comfort either. Road noise was tiresome due to the cargo van and it's lack of insulation but I think the bigger culprit were the lousy Continental tires. Both are fixable. Overall a good experience.
