This looks awesome: Ford Transit dropside review | Business Vans

I feel like I want this more than a F-150

I feel like a rig like that with the ecoboost could literally run forever as a daily driver.

I'd love to see one as a crew cab. It seems to light weight enough to have a nice payload and great tow ratings with an ecoboost.

Nice, It's been a long time since that style was sold here in the states.
The VW crew cab was nice, wish I could pick one up.

I like it. Drop sides are cool but I've always wondered how the mechanism would hold up here in salt country.

Why can't we have the manual Trans here? Grr. It's funny how their taste in power is different when they say 125hp should be enough for anybody. That would be a tough sell in the U.S.

You can buy one. They just aren't factory. Get the chassis cab and get the bed from an upfitter. You even get money from Ford towards the bed. I've been trying to talk my GM into letting me order one for the lot. No 4wd though, so that is a factor.

My idea right now is to get a nice FX4 Ranger and put this on it: Welcome to Ute Ltd - Manufacturers of Tough Aluminum Pick-up Truck Beds I could keep my general supplies organized like shovel, sand, lights, and air pump.
