thats my point...a new vehicle with marks and scratches! from what i read this window and seat removal is done here in the state in less then 5 minutes. my dad owns a body shop and i dont see how they can remove the windows and seats in 5 minutes without and damage. this is what worries me. i dont want to purchase a transit with the rear side and rear door glass for privacy issues to avoid seeing my tools and equipment inside.

Hello all Im new to this site and Im interested in buying a 2011 connect. Does anyone know if the 2011 xlt cargo vans will have the front fog lights as an option? I also am wondering if the cargo vans that have the side door glass delete option have any issues. Ive read that because of the chicken tax law that ford ships the transits to the USA with the rear seats and side door glass intact and once they arive here they have them removed and install steel panels inplace of the glass. I also read that ford will start building the connects here in the states in 2012 and i wonder if i should wait until then. also i wish the connect had rear disc brakes. I dont want to buy a 2011 and find out that in 2012 they are offered with rear disc brakes and have a complete side door skin instead of the steel panel inplace of the glass. the europe transits have a smooth side door panel that looks alot better then ours. same goes for the 3rd high mount brake light. why the heck the USA transits didnt keep the 3rd brake light in the left rear door is dumb if you ask me. it has nothing to do with the chicken tax nor does it have anything to do with a wagon or cargo van. they should of left the 3rd light in the door location.

HERES the point. 1) its not a full size van or truck. if you want something thats able to tow then buy a full size van or truck. 2) if you need extra room for ply wood, dry wall etc buy a full size van or truck. 3)everything else you said though i agree on.
