My current van is a '09 E350 Quigley. I was not pleased with the few heavy bumpers that were available so I built my own from a F250 bumper that I found online. I realize that the E350 is a body-on-frame vehicle whereas the new Transit I have ordered is a unibody, but I hope to build a similar bumper for the transit. The bumper is 3/16" steel plate and has protected my truck on several occasions.
