  1. The Van has 48.3 between the wheel house and the wagon Has 46.9 between the wheel house, With the barn door' open one or 2 sheets will be transportable in both version's The long wheelbase wagon version will be an easier thing to find and once the door is closed and you are looking out of the windshield you will get over the mini van look.
  2. Nice! What is your projected Budget for this project. Can't wait, will need lots of pictures.
  3. The plywood will be a test in the wagon version. If you have a utility trailer as I do this is a non issue. Although it is harder to find on the wagon The Barn Doors for me are better choice.
  4. I have an XLT wagon and if you can live with the reduced height and leave the seats in the Full headliner do make a noticeable difference in the sound and noise levels. Having 4 power windows ads Lots to the cars ventilation. You also get Rear Air conditioning to keep things cooler. The Stock Radio has more speakers and better sound.
  5. Great winter vehicle as long as you know how to switch off the traction control.
  6. Chuck should contact E-Trailer, they have at least 3 or four companies that supply a harness listing for the 2016. They could most likely help.
  7. E- trailer has the wiring harness that is plug and play. no splicing, and 1 wire to the rear fuse block. The curt hitch is a very easy install.
  8. This van is a world vehicle and has a metric threaded insert in the door, The domestic designs have a plastic insert that takes a Tec screws. The prep tech just wound the tech screws into the holes. As more world designs arrive they will learn to check.
  9. Very cool don't think that module is available here , have to set that up from the after market. How much is that unit worth there, if available?
  10. It is and yes semi professional. Does your new TC have a brake controller?
  11. This is a very competent tow vehicle. A more likely cause of an accident is a driver confusing this Van with a sports car!
  12. I just use the side slider and put the groceries right behind the drivers seat and it reduces the speed at which they hit the drivers seat.
  13. Hey Lots of cars from many different factories have had electrical connector issues. It is never a pleasant experience to be in the middle of that kind of problem. You at least have the satisfaction of knowing how much time it took and not having to wonder why you got a giant bill for what seemed like a small problem. Hope the Service from your Van continues to improve
  14. The Nokian WR D4 is worth a look. I have had lot of Nokian tires on multiple vehicles and they have all been top performers in the Winter Driving arena .
  15. Nice you figured it out. Hopefully it will start to give reasonable service .
  16. I hear you and at some point I will get to drive a 1.6 and get a first hand experience. I wanted a wagon and the Short wheel base Seat configuration was was not acceptable. My choice used a different set of variables. Both outcomes are Valid. I also think that 200 to 240 hp in this van would be a lot of fun.
  17. Haven't done anything with the lighting issue . I Have checked out the battery and the replacement will be no big deal.
  18. If you are in a dry enough climate the work pretty well and use much less power. The one I was refering to is 12 volt and would work well in a TC camper with limited power resources. If you have the power AC is better.
