I'll be in the market soon for a vehicle to replace my 2012 E350 work van. I tow on a weekly basis and the new Transits just don't have the towing capacity that I need. Specs are 3800 pounds for the 3.7 and even less for the 3.5. My E350 extended with 5.4 can haul 7200 all day. I need an extended van for the long material and equipment carrying ability. What's out there?

 

A used Econoline?
Fix/rebuild your present van?

 

I'd look at the Freightliner vans if that's the case.

 

Why are you in the market to replace the 2012?

 

160k on the odometer, want to sell it while I can still get something for it.

 

If you want an extended van with real horsepower, the only new option right now is a Chevy Express.

 

Better to run it until it dies from a financial standpoint.

 

If they haven't upgraded the trans significantly, I'd pass.
I think they were made with butter
I see that they have 6 and 8 speed trans now.

 

 

I would love to have A 2012 econoline with only 160k on it, LOL. How much are you asking? Why not just use it until it needs major work done?
