Wow I struck a nerve. You must also work for ford. I have been over in Europe and have seen a lot of great vehicles there. Ford already put out the research and development cost when they introduced this in Europe. And it upsets me that ford did not even give us The American audience a choose in engine transmission combination. These little trucks over there can tow, over here ford does not recommend it. I look forward to ford bringing in different variations of this vehicle. And I am a person that drives much further then 75 miles a day cannot afford to own two cars one for work and the other for recreation. There is a whole other market ford seems to be missing. The URBAN MARKET.

I like the concept of the transit connect. But there are so many things i do not like about the truck. Someone at ford must have there head so far buired up there ass with no light or oxygen to unviel all electric with a 75 mile range. There are so many other things that would appeal to the mass market then a freakin 75mile transit connect. How about back up camera, bigger mirrors, A front seat that folds out of the way or into a work top, Rear quick remove seats,Clear the center between the two front seats for long thin material, Diesel engine, Standard transmission, Longer wheellbase. And I am sure there is more. OWW OWW freakin towing capabilites. I have only yet scratched the surface I have read a lot of other great ideas. Ford did well with this car. But there is room for improvement. Boy that just frosts my ass. What the hell are they doing bring an all electric to the market is it a statement (look what we can do) put a freakin diesel in the dam thing. This post has been edited by Joe: Today, 09:57 PM

How is Volkswagon managing the diesel engines, Dodge sprinter,who else make a diesel??

I was Just at the dealership today talking with a salemen. He read a part of a manual to me, and his exact words were (Towing is not recomend with this vehicle) so its not that it cannot tow ford does not recomend it. Does this mean if I should tow a little trailer, and somthing were to happen to the engine and or transmision that ford will still honer there warranty. After all they say its not recommended not that you cannot or do not do it period.

Oh come on now. The Transit connect could use more power and a little more room without being a sprinter!!

I cannot believe this. In France you see these vehicles all over the place in fact my wifes family owns one with a trailer hitch no less. They use the vehicle for there business. I am also frustrated that ford only offers one engine and transmission combination, How ridiculous. I only hope that it is to gage the American market and that soon VERY SOON they will offer what we want. This Vehicle would be perfect for me if it had a Slightly more powerful engine Towing capacity, I would also like to carry 8 feet of wood along the floor of the truck. A little less utilitarian in the front driver seat, I could end up being there for hours in my line of work. To think driving six hours to a customer in this thing on the highway does not give me the warm fuzzies. I foot would be to the floor the whole ride and i would also be concerned with the comfort of the seat as well. I am not asking for the rear seats to be more comfortable I only carry passengers on very rare occasions. Well I have aired my comments and or concerns Thank you.
