Dave H Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I use my Transit as my work truck and daily driver. Still prefer my Super Duty, but with gas near $4 here, the van gets more use. I guess this is what Obama and his buddies want- can't wait till they force me into an electric Transit-not! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyvideo Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I use mine for my photography business transporting equipment to shoots. The rest of the time it's my daily driver for personal trips, family, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyangel Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 About 5,000 miles on my new XLT Premium and I'm still liking it a lot. Moving to a home about 75 miles away from where I was living, and planning to fix up the previous place as a rental, but haven't firmed up plans enough to hire movers, etc. etc. The TC has done a great job handing chairs, desks, a twin-size bed, etc. etc. and being that this is my first "commercial" vehicle I have been pleased and surprised by the fact that it drives pretty much the same loaded up as it does empty. My wife drove it for the first time last week and, coming from a Toyota Yaris, she had no problem at all. The TC got praise from her for driving just like a car.

indestructibleman Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The Ford Transit Connect is the first four wheeled vehicle I've ever owned that's younger than I am. I really like having something I can carry a motorbike with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishmyste Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 New to the Forum and just bought my first Transit today, a 2013. I'm going to use it on a Rural Mail Route. I'm hopeful that it will hold up for at least 6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Arsenault Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I bought my 2014 XLT LWB about a month ago. It replaced a 2000 Chevy Astro cargo van that I used for work. I own a pizza place/catering business and this is perfect. Comfy/economical enough for a daily driver but room enough to haul 80-90 pizzas at a time. The Astro could haul a lot more weight but that's not an issue for me. BTW the 2014 is a huge improvement over the previous generation in every way. I thought about buying a leftover 2013 but a side by side comparison was no contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 i have a 2012 xlt i drive 400 miles per day highway. i have 172.000 miles on it and have spent about 5,000 on repairs. three front wheel beerings, 2 front brake jobs, complete struts and bushings for sway bar, and a rebuilt tranny at 145,000 miles. i like driving it but i am really not saving anything over my E350 because of repair cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
