Anyone in South Florida needing...

From looking at ETIS on this VIN, this was a error at the assembly plant. VIN has the 148" EX body code by ETIS just shows 148" only.
If the dealer sold this Transit and it was actually a 148" WB versus a 148" EL body, the insurance would show it incorrectly.

Any way you could make a trip and get a picture of this Transit? Don't call, just make a surprise trip to see if it is still at the dealership.

I could kick myself for not taking a picture then, and have thought about it because of the color, can't find it in pics. They put a pic up on their site for it's sale..and I still didn't download it. They sold it...it isn't posted anymore... it was definitely only LONG.

They're an hour north of me anyway...maybe you could view it by satellite if it's still on the lot?


I've been "building" my van for nearly 2 years... and have 4 books of "plans" regarding how to fit my stuff in hahaha I knew it wasn't long enough.

I thought I had a pic for you.... I had included it from their website, the write up page with picture when they posted it for sale... sent it to the friend that went up with me... but all the pic has now is the FORD logo and contact info. Sorry.

I used google map satellite & street level too but can't see it anywhere on their property.


NOW anyone needing that VAN TRED EL ???? I received it...waiting on RMA to send 'er back... my new van I'm ordering I dropped the rear ac so I can have Ford put the liner in.

google earth street view rarely, if ever, updates there street view photos! chances are what you see on street view is over a year old. if you want up to date satellite photos you have to pay for them!

I know that to be true in the past. However, for whatever reason (the government?) I check about once every 2 months and it's keeping up to date... I check my community and note placement of fences, trucks, tree cropping (illegal) etc just to see how fast it's watching our movements and it seems almost daily! Scary.

Now with the internet gone to our enemies...well... there won't be much of our checking in the future, nor complaining. Who knows?

its the scientists, they want to study global warming and how south florida becomes part of the gulf of mexico in the next 20 years!

Your ordered Transit is now showing up on the Plantation Ford website. Trying to see if I can get a actual photo of it. My friend in FL who owns a 2015 T-350 HR 148" EL lives 14 miles from the dealership. If they cannot send me a picture, he will go by and get one and verify the wheelbase since he owns one.

It isn't the pic they are showing with the sale data.

I doubt they leave it out front overnight. Maybe on Tuesday I can return the key hahahah and take my Poodle that the lady wanted to see?

IDK I am handicapped and this is really stressful for me. At this point, I don't even believe it was HR but MR... as it didn't dwarf me like when I walk by one at the doctor's office. It was NOT EL.

I have pulled the specs online with the sale... it doesn't have the lighted vanity mirrors (2) I ordered and is on the window sticker, it also doesn't have the 10 way heated(listed later heated) seats (2) but it says 2 way driver with lumbar (those won't go together) I ordered.... hmmm I was checking the power seat out when I was interrupted one of those times... I don't see how it has a first row lcd monitor? there's no designator as to which limited slip axle it has... where are the dual heavy duty batteries and the heavy duty alternator I ordered and is on the window sticker?

The van out there somewhere... maybe it was sent some place else with this van's window sticker???

What a mess! I should have had them check the VIN!

Ok I sent them both an email telling them to check the VIN and to order the right window sticker. I'm still ordering with the other dealer regardless... now that I have a mulligan, I'm changing some things anyway. hahaha

Not sure I can get up to the former dealership... have a category 4 Hurricane (Matthew) thinking about coming here... SE FL now in the "cone" of possibility. Cat 4 means evacuate for me... and I may head out by WED am to Naples and drive North depending upon how far west those High pressures push it.

Pray for Haiti. Those poor people don't even have their hospital built from the earthquake as the donated funds were never given to them.

Sending back

Folks I've received the RMA and will be sending the Van Tred back to Real Truck tomorrow before Hurricane Matthew breezes BY (he better go on by and not come for a visit!)

Real Truck is wonderful in their customer service...no charge either way for shipping/handling either!
