I'm looking into buying one. Does anyone have any dealings with rockport? I'm currently using a 7.3 diesel crewcab 4x4 longbed w/ a 7x14 enclosed trailer as a workshop. Looking to downsize and move into a transit w/ a SRW. I might even go to a 14' box. I have it quoted w/ a 12' box. I am going w/ gas. Is the ecoboost offered in 2016? Any conversation about this type of ride would be great. I'm located in NW Jersey. Looking for a best deal... from a dealer. For service I will take it to my local ford dealer. Will I be ok with a gaser?

I see there is an interested but no one has anything? I'm waiting on a price from the dealer. i was in Maryland over the weekend & spotted this one. I had to go to one of the vans to find the navi system. The body style I'm looking at is the cargoport. I'm considering the diesel. I currently have a diesel but would prefer gas. I'm done pulling trailers.

Thanks, I have & continue to look. I have the body spec'd out with everything i want. About $9000 w/ shipping to the ford dealer that I buy it from. I want the full wide back doors. The tall door from the cab to the box. A side door on the passenger side.... I haven't seen one exactly how I want it. If I'm spending 40K and it will be my last truck ( If it goes 15 years) I better get it made just the way I want.

Well, it's been awhile. I rented a transit from uhaul. It was the small one. I thought it might be a good idea, they had a deal for 1 week with 700 miles. With ins. it cost $400. I liked a few things and didn't like some things. In the end if I do decide to get the cutaway. I'm going with the Rockport 14' box, Diesel, SRW. The gas one seemed to shift a lot. I always drove with the sun visors down but it makes it so you can't see the traffic lights. The arm rest are to small. I kept moving around in the seat. I drove 200 mile trip. I'm use to a pickup so the seat seem to high, be nice if you could lower it like a big rig. I could adjust the light on the radio - never found where to adjust. When using my sunglasses , I couldn't read any of the gauges. I did like it had a glove box. I would never get the small mirrors. The arm rest on the door is perfect.
