I bought the seat covers off of Amazon and added some additional padding since the seat were not exactly comfortable in my opinion. As far as people wanting to buy TC’s, small business is the biggest consumer. Ford is consolidating their fleet, and pushing the Ford Transit. Since the TC is build on the focus platform which is also being discontinued, Ford is pushing their constrained chips and limited parts towards their more popular vehicles. I had a 2011 Ford Ranger (last year before discontinuing) and three years later I sold it for what I paid for it. I think this will be a similar situation for the TC.

You have to wonder if it’ll make the value of these go up even higher. If you haven’t noticed in the last couple of years, the resale $ of Connect’s have gone wild. I bought a 2019 TC new (I call it ‘ShitHauler) but one it few drawbacks is it doesn’t have all wheel drive. I do drone photography, and FPV, which works out great for the van, but when it snows in the Cascade’s the TC ain’t so great. I’ve have a Ford Maverick on order since January that recently got changed from a 22 to a 23, not holding my breath on that order. When the time comes to sell the TC. I’ll be happy with the resale bucks, but we be sad because it’s almost like a friend. So in the meantime, I’ll continue having fun with my ShitHauler.

Actually it is. Seemed the simplest way.

After I sold my Ford F150 super crew I needed something to haul my small trailers, bike, pressure washer etc, and this little van is perfect for my needs. After purchasing this I put sound deadening on all the walls, then 1 inch insulation, covered it with Masonite board, and carpet to quiet it down some. Before I did a 7 state Journey I bought seat covers with extra padding. Carpet just rolls up and there’s a hard wood floor underneath. I’ve had this a couple of years now (13k) and really love this thing but I have 2 complaints, hard seats, and that damn chime system (what brilliant engineer came up with that?).

2019 connect.

Anyone know if the 2019 passenger Connect power drivers seat has more padding than the 2019 Connect van? I read somewhere that Ford put more fluff in the front seats of the 2019-2020 because of a mass hemorrhoid outbreak among commercial drivers. Doubt that that’s true (the hemorrhoid part, not the added padding) but the seats are fairly firm for long distance and wondered if the passenger van version had more padding and could maybe bolt in.
