How has it treated you? Is the power and acceleration adequate? I'll be lightly loaded most of the time with occasional heavier payloads, any regrets?

Thanks!

I have just under 12K on mine. The 3.7L is plenty powerful enough to move my cargo. Payload ranges from 350 lb to over 4000 lb on occasions. I kinda wish I had the 4.10 rear axle, but I like the transmission a lot. I'm sure the Diesel and EcoBoost are a hoot to drive, but I don't consider 275 hp to be slouchy. The engine needs more revs than the others, but the powerband is quite flexible. With the kind of cargo I haul, much more power would just throw stuff all over the truck.

Thank you. The 3.7 seems more than capable.


Keep 'em coming please.

Wow! That works!

That's exactly what I did with my test drive yesterday. Shocked at it red lining like that..

I guess unloaded driveability was fine? Overall acceleration more than adequate?

The few times I have weighed my van it was between 8400-9600 lbs, and it never made me feel inadequate for the job. Granted I have to corner quite a bit slower, but acceleration up a 6% grade with 4000 lbs in the back was possible.

Thank you SuprMover. I appreciate your input.

Took delivery of a Transit 350 12-passenger wagon today and drove 140 miles from dealership to home. Handling and acceleration were more than adequate for my needs (camping with wife and four grandchildren). Handling was far superior to my old Dodge 2500 passenger vans. First 140 miles were at 16 mpg. Engine rpms 2100 loafing along at 65 mph.

Congratulations! When you feel like it, perhaps you could add details about your Wagon into your Signature (via the User CP at the top right), as well as your MPG on the appropriate thread. I assume you have the 3.7 engine from your post here, so this would be one possible MPG thread:

Not sure which rear end you have.

Thanks
