In the second half of this year, Ford will introduce the 2014 Transit van to the American market, thereby replacing the aging E-Series model. It is basically the full-size van that Ford has been offering in the European and Asian markets for many years. Despite a recent make-over in these markets, Ford made further adjustments and refinements to this version of the Transit van, to account for the different uses and expectations of the American consumer.

In addition to the currently available wheelbases and lengths in the Econoline models, the Transit will offer a selection different heights, lower weight but increased payloads and reduced fuel consumption and maintenance costs. Of course, that will probably be offset by higher suggested retail prices, which are, as of this moment, not yet released. Exterior Van buyers are offered the ultimate choice of three lengths in addition to three roof heights.

The 2014 Transit features a low roof ( 56”int. ), a medium roof ( 72”int. ) and a high roof ( 82”int. ), while supporting a 130 inch or 148 inch wheelbase and single- or dual rear wheels. Its rear cargo doors swing open up to 270 degrees and give complete access to the van. Advertisement Interior The extended roof lines have led to improved interior heights, with heights that start with 56 inches for the low roof, 72 inches for the medium roof and 81 inches for the high roof model. With the latter one easily accommodating a full-size person.

Engine Choices The 6-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are implemented with your choice of the following engines. A standard 3.7-liter V6 engine. The optional 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that currently can be found in the Ford F-150. A good choice for towing in combination with the trailer towing package. The new 3.2-liter five-cylinder Power Stroke Diesel option. My experience with the European Transit Van tells me that this will be a solid replacement for the aging E-series. With emphasis on efficiency and lowering maintenance cost.

The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 is probably the best engine of the three available. Ford is still contemplating whether to offer a four-wheel drive option, which would be a great addition for some of us. Overall quality will be better than the Sprinter and most certainly than the Ram Pro Master (a.k.a. Fiat Ducato) which will be introduced around the same time. This article leaves out the alternative fuel option. A propane/natural gas version will also be an option with the 3.7 V-6. With propane auto gas selling for $2.35 a gallon in my area I have been waiting for a V-6 propane powered van for a while.

I won’t even give gasoline or diesel a 2nd. Gasoline and diesel are now officially obsolete.

Clean, domestically produced, plentiful, affordable propane is the only way to go. Even the long haul truckers can’t replace their diesel’s with natural gas fast enough. The only people buying the gas or diesel van will be the buyers that are unaware of the propane option.

You are right about the propane/natural gas option for the upcoming Ford Transit van and I fully agree with the clean and affordable nature of propane/natural gas. However, there are a number of issues, which may make it a less desirable option. In my opinion, the main obstacle still is accessibility of the fuel. Unlike European countries, the United States has no real propane/gas infrastructure for automobiles. That may not be a problem where you live locally, but with an RV or a cargo van transformed into an RV, you might find yourself stuck in the boondocks.

This may all change with the flood of domestic natural gas coming in the next couple of years. Another issue is the price difference. On one side is the difference between natural gas and propane in addition to regional price variations. Then there is a reduced mileage for a gallon of propane in comparison to regular gasoline. On top of that is the additional cost for the conversion kit, making a good price comparison quite tricky. As the vehicle will be equipped with the standard factory gasoline fuel system, the additional CNG/Propane fuel tanks will reduce available space inside the vehicle, which may be the biggest negative factor in any small RV conversion project.

You make very valid points. All of which I have already taken into consideration. 1 point you are not quite right on is the fueling stations for propane auto gas. True there is not as many as gasoline stations.

However, there are 1000’s of propane stations, not natural gas. Look at a map of propane fueling stations and you will see. No problem for propane. Big problem for natural gas. Especially liquified natural gas. My state just got its first one!

Also with propane it qualifies as an alternative fuel so I will receive tax breaks plus fuel savings as long as propane doesn’t go up dramatically and gasoline comes down. My van will be used for business so I also will get an image boost when my customers see I am being “green”. Also, I think, but not sure yet, maybe you know, the alternative fuel version can run on gasoline OR propane. Since it comes with the standard gas fuel system.

70% of propane comes from natural gas so with the fracking boom taking place and natural gas production skyrocketing there should be plenty of excess propane to keep the price much lower than gasoline. I hope of course.

That is the only concern I have is if the price of propane goes up dramatically. I have to somewhat disagree about the availability of propane. Although nationally, there is no shortage of fueling stations, locally they can be far apart and out-of-the-way. As propane might be a good choice if you drive mostly local, it may be more difficult while traveling from coast to coast. In my current location the nearest station is about 10 miles away with prices substantially higher than regular gasoline. Average prices for natural gas are way more attractive, but as you said, fueling stations are far in between.

That may change with the current glut in natural gas. All this can be made easier with a bi-fuel system, where you can switch back to gas, but that has its drawbacks too. First, you have to keep using both fuels periodically as a matter of maintenance and secondly, it is a more expensive install.

After factory installation, by OEM installers makes the whole process inefficient and quite expensive, with an additional equipment cost of typically about $6,000 to $10,000 over the conventional vehicle base price. This makes it attractive primarily for fleet owners with high mileage use.

This propane van by ford will not be able to fill up at a hardware store or your local KOA campground because it takes a special fueling nozzle for “Propane Auto Gas”. Fancy name, but it means the highway tax is included for highway vehicles. And in fact it is against the law for the campground or hardware store or even a gasoline station that sells propane on the side to fill a propane tank that will be used for highway use. Search propane auto gas fill stations and you will see a USA map with just over 2500 stations.

Sure, in areas where there is not many people the filling stations are spaced out. For me the I-5 corridor is where I will be 99% of the time and the stations are plentiful. The U-Haul centers usually carry propane auto gas. Roush Clean Tech tells me the MSRP for the propane fuel system is around $11,000, including installation + shipping.

You will have 2 bills from the dealer. The invoice for the price of the van. The dealer then purchases the propane fuel system and installation from a Roush Clean Tech authorized distributor. Then they charge you retail price for the system. So in the end you have 2 bills. Roush Clean Tech named Knapheide and National Fleet Services as 2 authorized distributors. So Roush Clean Tech does the engineering of the system but not the installation.

I agree it is a little pricey. It will be interesting what the dealer will try to charge me. I won’t be in the mood to pay list price AFTER buying a new vehicle from them. Still worth it. You will save $17,000 in fuel costs over the life of the van. Considered to be 150,000 miles. My 2000 E-150 has 170,000 on it and is still going strong.

Just took a trip to Reno, Nevada over the weekend in my E-150. Gasoline in Reno was $3.90 for Reg. There is 5 propane filling stations in Reno.

I called them all to get a price on propane. Varied from $2.90 to $3.29 per gallon, tax included. U-haul seems to always be the highest. My home in the Rogue Valley, Oregon, the price for gasoline is $3.50, at Costco, the cheapest in town. Down the road 1 mile is a propane filling station, $2.50, tax included. I cant wait to be driving my Ford Propane Transit!

Since my last post I have found another alternative to Roush Clean Tech for converting my van to burn propane. AJ Automotive Group, Inc., makes a system they refer to as an “upgrade”.

No modifications are made to the stock factory controls for emissions or engine control. Nothing is removed. No splicing into factory wires. 100% add on system. When complete my van will run on gasoline just like stock OR propane. About half the cost of the Roush System which is propane ONLY when done, they even remove the stock gas tank.

The system can even be removed if I ever decide to sell the van and install it on another vehicle, not possible with a Roush system. You can go to driveonpropane dot com for more info. A few weeks ago Ford hired 1000 new employees to begin training to work on the assembly line to build the new Transit cargo van. The word is they will be rolling off the assembly line in the 2nd. Quarter of the year. The wait is almost over! Download The RV Electrical System Sizing Spreadsheet Sizing solar always starts with establishing demand.

Interior- A lot of time and thought went into the interior design.

The colors I picked are factory 1964 colors ordered with standard and deluxe buses. The interior option code is 292 (Basalt Grey and Silver Beige). I chose not install deluxe chrome interior trim as I thought the minimalist look was the way to go and fit my design concept better.

All seats, jump seat, and Z bed were completely disassembled. The front seat frames were sand blasted and repainted. All seats were reupholstered by a high end hot rod shop, done to the highest standards. Note, these are not the cheap TMI seat covers, these are custom made by a professional upholstery shop.

The rear Z-bed springs were replaced with a memory foam padding. All seats have custom memory foam type padding, not the cheap and uncomfortable TMI coconut fiber padding. The goal was to make the seats comfortable to drive on long road trips.

The complete headliner and lower half of the interior panels were custom made out of Baltic Birch wood. All panels were carefully hand picked for the desired grain and color. All interior Birch wood was professional cut out using factory templates. Every panel and trim piece received 5 coats of clear varnish. The panels were completely wet sanded in between coats. Needless to say this took an untold amount of hours. A lot of planning went into installing the headliner making sure no screws were visible.

All interior lights and electrical work perfect. New front mat, and wheel well cover mats.

All cabinets are original to the bus when ordered new and have the correct 1967 date codes stamped on the ID tag. I used a high end birch wood flooring throughout the cargo area.

All interior brackets, interior hardware, Z bed brackets ect were sand blasted and repainted. All inside window trim was custom fitted. Plenty of storage under jump seat, z bed, closets ect.

I went out of my way to try to hide mounting screws on interior trim and panels, this attention to detail is what sets this van apart from other restorations. I have over $7,000 invested in the interior alone. There is much more work that I did to the interior, I tried to list all the high lights.

Other- 1967 was the first year of 12 volt. Brand new Escra Raider 17 inch wheels, brand new tires. The rear tires are slightly bigger and wider than the fronts to give the van a aggressive stance. Optima battery.
