Don Ridley Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The van looks great. The wait is worth it because now you have all the options and features you wanted. Plus, you have already forgotten about the wait, but a missing feature would be a constant reminder. Welcome Shorty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beta Don Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) The SWB models can be a bit hard to find. Once we had driven a LWB van and then a SWB cargo model (those are pretty easy to find) and we decided that a SWB passenger model was what we really wanted, I began the search in earnest. After a couple months, I found exactly what we were looking for in Georgia about 300 miles away. It's a 2014 and the dealer had tried to sell it new for over a year and finally gave up and titled and licensed it for use as a service loaner vehicle. A year later, they put it in their used car line and it didn't sell there either. I was able (long distance) to negotiate a great price ($4K less than they were asking) and we bought it with 13,000 miles on it. It is the perfect size and the way the rear seats fold up and are so easy to remove really makes it practical to use to haul cargo too. Ours isn't as pretty as yours, but we love it!

FDLFDC Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Don, good comments. I haven't tried to remove the rear seat as yet, but it's good to hear it is an easy operation. I am glad I waited for this SWB, after driving the RAM version I knew I wanted the short one in a Ford. Almost the same outside, but better inside. I sold the RAM in two days on AutoTrader! Sure, "Shorty" is good lookin' Don, but he is brand new after all. FDLFDC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
