Vans are a staple in the industrial world. They can be used for several different jobs including luggage and equipment hauling and mobile offices. Lately, there has been a massive redesign of vans in America. This redesign is leading us to a more European style of van. There is nothing wrong with this, and the new models are far more aerodynamic than older ones. So, why should you get a Ford Transit-250 in Oak Lawn or your local area?
Diesel Engine Options
What was once relegated to heavy duty trucks and luxury European cars has made it is way into the US van market. Diesel engines have traditionally only be offered as expensive upgrades to higher trim vehicles in America, but you can get a diesel engine in a base model transit. This signifies a shift in the American maker mindset surrounding diesels and hopefully is an indicator or more changes to come.
The diesel engine that is available on the transit is nothing impressing, a 3.2L Powerstroke diesel, five cylinder. It produces 185hp and a whopping 350lb-ft of torque. This is not going to get you anywhere fast, but there is not much that will stop it either. In the end, a diesel option gives you a much longer lasting engine option for a commercial vehicle that is likely to live a long, hard life.
Various Roof Heights
With the European styling of new vans traditional conversion, vans are a thing of the past. With older conversion vans the roof was cut out and replaced with the conversion top. This worked well but introduced a weak point for leaks and rust. With the new styles the roof height is built into the van from the factory with no cutting. This makes for a stronger, longer lasting roof that will give you room to stand and work.
Today’s work vans are not the same as what was available last decade. They have engines that will last longer, better-designed bodies, and are more aerodynamic allowing for better fuel economy.
