Introducing: Quinn // 2019 Ford Transit
Years of Vanning and Planning
Culminate In Dream Build
Why A Ford Transit as an adventuremobile platform?
Serviceability - With over 2,800 dealers nationwide finding available parts and service is an essence a non-issue - not to mention price - when it comes to long wait times or delays sourcing parts.
Aftermarket Support - While the range of aftermarket upgrades may not yet be as deep as the Mercedes Sprinter, the market for Ford Transit aftermarket parts and support is growing. Many vendors have staked claim on this growing segment offering interior and exterior accessories specific to the Ford Transit.
Space - Standing-room only! After years of elevating a pop-top up and down, I knew that I wanted to shift to a hard-sided medium roof van. At 5’8” my head just grazes the ceiling, which is exactly what I was searching for. Maximizing interior comfort, while increasing usability as well.
Convenience - With the rear seats removed, Vincent offers tons of storage capacity. Combined with the use of plastic bins, each with their own dedicated spot, there is far more space available than will ever be needed to accommodate dog, gear, 2 bikes, and an additional passenger.
Durability - The Vortec V6 powering Vincent is the key component to what will keep this trip moving forward. GM's Vortec engines offer excellent low end torque and with routine maintenance consistently exceed 200,000 miles in their lifetime.
Aesthetics - Where the rubber meets the road, the All Wheel Drive system (optional on the Chevy Astro platform) has far exceeded all preconceived notions. The AWD system has far surpassed all expectations in both snowy and inclement driving conditions alike.
