2017 T350HD EcoBoost with every conceivable factory option.

Having ordered and enjoyed tremendously my first Transit, I've decided to trade in my fully-loaded low-mileage 350HD EcoBoost toward another which is configured as I originally would have with the benefit of some actual use.

One dilemma is that I will be adding the rear A/C unit which excludes the Cargo Area Protection panels as a factory option. This $250 option becomes a several thousand dollar proposition when purchased through the parts desk - even at dealer cost. I've tried contacting local upfitters to see what success I might have with any pull-off sets from vans they've upfit for customers without luck.

I'm hopeful a fellow forum member may have purchased a Transit that included them and ultimately discarded them (or plan to) during an upfit - from whom I may be able to buy them.

I'm interested in panels for two possible configurations - a high-roof extended length and a medium roof long wheel base. If any such owners of any such vans may be able to help, I'd be grateful for you to reach out to me via Private Message.

Many thanks in advance to all who may reply.

In the 2016 models if you ordered rear air you received the side panels. The vinyl floor, rear step protection, wheel well covers, and sliding door step protection were not included.

The polypropylene panels weren't available to me when I ordered my 2016 350HD EcoBoost if I had selected front and rear air. It wasn't a matter of not being "included", none of the interior packages which included any of those items were combinable with front and rear air.

Just another ******* product packaging decision by Ford.

Nowhere in the options literature did it say that I would get the side panels. Nor did it say that I wouldn't get the rear and side step covers. Whether I would get the vinyl floor was not clear. Pleasantly surprised with the walls and angry about the rest. Wound up buying the side door step cover and fasteners for the rest. The dealer had saved wheel well covers, vinyl floor and rear step cover from another van and gave them to me. Now I understand that they don't include those items anymore.
