I have always ran newer model trucks to keep my Company on solid ground since I am basically just a two man shop. I ran across the transit connect and had to go for it. I liked the look and assumed they had the bugs worked out. Guys, Please considering buying the rip off extended warranty they offer because if not your screwed if anything major happens. If you purchase the rip off extended warranty then the service guys will get you a loaner and take care of your problem sooner than later. If not they become the Ford Service Repair Notzis and could care less if you ROT IN HELL! Ford will probably thank me for posting this so more people will buy the rip off extended warranty and that even gets me more upset. Ford should stand behind their product like they used to. When/If I finally get my van back I am pasting sign on it to let everyone know that my Trasit Connect Transmission blew at 15k miles and to be sure to get the extended warranty so your not left out in the cold with the service repair Notzis.
