Hilarious video----the guys at Top Gear need to see this!

Have know of the Sportsmobile brand from another forum but never have seen one is action---pretty impressive!

Thanks PST!

 

I would love to have one made for my family hauling and snow stomping in my area!

I would like 6 captains chairs and the folding 3 man couch/bed in the back. 2 tv's and usb charging ports at each seat to keep the cridders happy.

I would like the big *** bumpers and winch up front as well!

Santa....Hellooooo!

 

Quigley and other 4WD vans can be found on eBay from time to time----never have seen a Sportsmoblie.

The other site I mentioned has a few owner selling their personal SMB's---getting another seems to be the popular reason!

 

Nothing special really if your doing a video of a 4x4 van do something that you would need 4wd for. Driving around in the dessert and climbing a little hill a stock Ford van can is not showing what your product can do in my opinion

Well maybe not----at least to someone more accustomed to all that rock climbin' craziness we see in many a failed YouTube attempt!

Sadly the van shown is far far from stock as Ford never offered one in 4WD. If I viewed the video as it was presented it clearly was tongue-in-cheek about comparing two things built 30 years apart and for vastly different end uses.

The Sportsmobile conversion is offered mostly for the camping/RV set rather than the exclusive 4WD bunch. Am I camping or showing off climbing things? Guess it depends on the end use huh?

 

Sadly the Sportsmobile will not be offered on an E350 chassis after 2014/2015 when the Transit comes to full production.

 

There is lots of places I go with my open rear end E that I should not get too, but I could get to some really nice places if I had 4 wheel drive!

Still a want for me! A 4x4 conversion van.
