I have a home medical business that it is time to upgrade delivery vans. Presently we use Chevy Astro vans and they have served well.
Lot of competitors have gone to the Ford connect and transit connect vans. Size wise the smaller vans suit us well, don't really need to move up to the larger full size vans. All of the offings in this size are priced comparable and fuel mileage is close to the same on all. My question is on power train reliability. I wan't one that you change the oil and just drive it. I have already ruled out the pro-master transit due to its engine. After speaking with the mechanic at the local dealership about them he wasn't very fond of that engine showed me several in peaces in his shop, which is in a small rural dealership. As to the others I have searched the internet which is full of all kinds of info some I believe some I don't, however TDR has never led me astray in its info.
So if any of you have real world experience good or bad about any of the offerings in this size please feel free to guide me in the right direction.
