Opening windows
Interested in the Transit wagon. Wondering if anyone knows: Can any of the rear windows open besides driver/passenger door windows? The old E-series would at least open the rear door windows to pull heat out and reduce buffeting when forward door windows were open. I live in the south and carry dogs. No opening windows would be a real broiler pan. Don't like a/c all the much. I would get dual a/c but would like to be able to pop the windows. Dodge Caravan has always had opening rear quarter windows operated from the drivers seat. I would gladly pay extra for that feature.

You can get flip open side glass. Which body are you looking to get and I'll let you know the option code to ask about.
If your local dealership has one in stock that's close other than the window you might want to have them quote you on that with getting the windows swapped. I'm sure the local bus companies could do that, I had to get a quote on emergency pop out windows and that's who I asked. You can do anything you want if you're willing to pay for it. I'm having two drivers go up and pick up a Transit today for me that we got a bathroom installed in for a customer.

I would be looking at the T250/350 wagon. Can the rear door windows flip open as well? Trying to talk wife into a medium roof. Right now she says "no" to the airport shuttle look...

Wagons will be 350s, so that solves that problem, but what body code are you looking at? High roof, low, Extended length?
Check out Explorer and some of the other conversion van companies. They make some really sweet products. They aren't cheap, selling one today for $66k pretty well loaded up, but I'd put my money into one of those over an Expedition any day of the week.
