- In this review, we check out a 2020 Ford Transit T-350 high roof dually van. We check out the space, go over the interior and then do a 0-60 test with the Transit van. It is a lot of fun to check this big boy out.

Our company has operated Mercedes Sprinters and Nissan NVs and now Ford’s. Hands down Ford makes the best vans.
idk, but mine is bad ass... I have the same dually with some *slightly different amenities. I got mine in 2024, 4yo... it's a 2020 model
I drove an eco boost 250 van here in FL with the 3.73 limited slip. That thing had some serious balls. God bless the Ford exec who ripped a massive line of cocaine and ok’ed a twin turbocharged posi rear end cargo van.
do a search for the Ford Supervans of the the past and you'll see some truely crazy vans. Proving once again the old adage "give an Englishman a bit of steel and he'll do something foolish with it"
I have the same engine and 373 LS axle in my T250 Transit.! I smile every time I drive it.!!
I drove the 3.5 naturally aspirated 10 speed that van hauls arse I can only imagine the ecobeast or the power stroke!
Imagine if the Ford execs shot up heroin and decided to put the Coyote v8 in it that would be insane!
I enjoyed the review. My wife and I are considering converting a van into an RV and the Ford is at the top of the list.
Us too, we were working on converting a bus but would like to downsize even more. Good luck!
50K is steep for a cargo van, but mechanically Ford Transit is miles better than Dodge Ram and $$$$ less than overpriced Mercedes Sprinter. Try getting the passenger one because nothing beats factory cut windows all around..
I'm in the beginning phase of design for a van converstion myself. One of the things I have learned is that even the cargo vans have a factory option for windows all around. Just not sure on the pricing.
I just bought a passenger version of this van, Its an awesome van. We are getting made into a wheelchair lift van for my 2 girls in chairs.
👍 great van for wheel chairs.
I want to see your conversion! I also have a special needs son and I just couldn’t find one that fits our needs and I am now leaning towards converting.
These vans are so awesome. Never in a million years did I think I would love a van so much 😂
Thanks for the review. So I’ve been driving pickup trucks for 40+ years. I’m a home builder. Last year I bought a ProMaster 3500 high extended. I built in custom shelving and holders that keep all of my tools and supplies organized. It has been truly revolutionary for my life. I hate driving the ProMaster. It’s uncomfortable and noisy. But having 100% of my tools including table saw, miter saw, and most Milwaukee / makita tools needed on job sites plus caulks, hour, screws, fasteners etc is amazing. I use to have to switch out tools a couple of times a day. Now Everything has a place and I can still carry 4x4 pallets in the back and 16’ lumber with the doors closed. I can carry 10-15 2x4x16’s or 20-30 1x6x16 baseboard or casings. Now the restriction is the 16’ lumber is all the way to the dash. So in the ProMaster the shape of the dash reduces how much Incan carry with the doors closed. If the weather is good, I can a lot of long material tied down with the doors partially closed.
I’m going to sell the ProMaster at the end of the year and get a new Transit. The Transit is more expensive but offers nicer seats and amenities
Thanks for your comment. Also great to hear from actual owners.
Yeah. You got the right idea. Get rid of the ram. I dont like them at all. Money wasted paying for that ram.
Hey Bret. Did you make the chang to the Transit? I was leaning towards the Ram 3500 Extended, but wasn't 100% sure that I could fit 16' material with the doors closed. Did you have to load up on that the dash, or will it ride down below the cup holders? What would you suggest is the better vehicle for a contractor/carpenter? I'm a GC in Florida and I'm ready to pull the trigger on one. Thanks if you reply.
@@Razacbc I did. I ordered a 2020, with these options. I’ve driven it for 1 year now. 1-ton, extended length, the high cab, 3.5 eco boost, AWD, power seats, leather, Nav, extended fuel tank, sliding drivers side door. I also got the windows in the slider doors and rear doors.
Only thing I would change is… I’d not get the windows in the sliders or rear doors. The cameras are good enough to not need the windows anymore.
I wish Ford would offer power folding mirrors on the cargo van with the blind spot monitor. But they don’t. I ordered with the power fold but it arrived with the trailer towing mirrors with blind spot monitor. They stick out so far that it creates problems parking and in the city traffic. I’m looking for a passenger van with the blind spot monitoring mirrors that has been totaled and hope to replace. At $1000 a piece… can’t afford them new.
@Bret Hey Bret, thanks for responding🤝🏽. I've pulled the trigger on a Transit, now I just have to wait for it to be manufactured. Can you tell me about fitting 16ft material in it? I understand that the material goes up almost to the cup holders for 16ft material to ride with the rear doors closed. How many inches would you say you have until you actually are hitting the cup holders? I ordered mine with a large center console which appears to be 4 - 5" deeper than the regular one. I'm hoping that doesn't screw me when loading up material. Can you give me any insight on this? I appreciate it!
I have the 2015 T350HD. Batter(ies) are under driver’s seat. What you found under the hood is a jump point.
Thanks. Like I said, lots to learn.
It’s an awesome daily drive for a tool truck. I put a crew bench in for the kids. Still plenty of room. Thx for the review. Looks like only big change is 10-speed and a bigger backup screen. Great van.
Erek Porembski is that an option? I’d very much be intrested in that setup for a 2020 I’m looking at.
A plumber, hvac, electrical or carpentry company needing to pull a trailer or equipment is what you would need a hitch for
Or a small fishing boat when I make it into my new home
I want to live permantly in this one with shower etc. Wow. Wow . wow.. What a van . fors cant be beat. Whats wrong with g.m
Dont see them on utube. Are they in hiding for some reason. Cant match to fords. Thank you.
I’ve driven my in-laws 20 transit high roof t250 cargo van no windows freaking amazing drives like a car with a 10 speed and naturally aspirated 3.5 it hauls and did not have STOP/START I’m now considering one but just a t150 highroof passenger van.
I drove one of those to take some neighbors to a wedding, holy s*^t. I thought I was gonna hit the guy in front of me at the light. It shouldn’t have gone that fast nor covered so much ground so quickly. I spent 20 years driving econolines. Even with 351’s in those vans, they were slow. Thank god the brakes were as good as the acceleration, and the handling is impressive for something so big and blows away the Econoline.
It is crazy. Glad I’m not the only on who noticed that.
I drive one for work. Only downside is the transmission gets confused when going uphill. She struggles on steep inclines.
I just bought a 2017 with 50k miles on it after months of researching and comparing the Sprinter, Transit, and Promaster. When I test drove the T350HD I had the same reaction. HOLY CRAP, THIS THING HAULS ASS!!!!
We just bought a Ford transit 2020 too it has the eco boost twin turbo and that thing is fast damn we really like it and suggests other people getting it if looking for a truck. Ours are not a dually but it is a Extended Length T-350. Keep up the good work! Review is very helpful
Started out with plans to build out a StepVan but keeps seeing this beast around town. I've watched a lot of Transit videos but you, my friend, just sold me for sure. 0-60 in under 9 means that fully built out I can still merge with traffic out here in the desert and panic. Thanks for taking the time and posting this video. -c
I still dont know why on earth none of these cargo van manufacturers will put an actual REAL engine in these so called "heavy duty" vans. Why no V8 or a V10 gas motor or a 6.7L powerstroke?
A 350HD dually but only has a 6cyl gas motor?? LOL
Great review. Tons of practical observations. Thanks! I guess I never really thought of it as a heavy duty truck with a van body. That puts it into a much more practical context.
The battery is under the driver's seat. The terminal under the red cap under the hood is for jump starting the vehicle. That is a fuse box next to the jump start terminal.
Where does the negative ground?
@@thisismagacountry1318 There's a bare screw on the driver's side.
Perfect for diy rv camper. Nothing fancy less expensive to maintain. Install floor heat and still have plenty of headroom. Keep all the plumbing in the heated area.
Great idea..
Im a service plumber and I have had all of the vans. We had the Nissan NV 2500 as well as the Mercedes Sprinter we had the chevy vans and now I currently drive a Ford Transit 3500 Dually. Hands down the Ford Transit is by far the best. I am not a Ford guy. I am typically a Chevy guy but when it comes to cargo van zile would have to say the Chevy was my least favorite. The transit has the most space but yet still drives like a small car. The Nissan was my second favorite and if the Nissan was bigger with more cargo space I would prefer the Nissan but the transit is by far superior
What did you prefer about the Nissan?
Great review Tim. I drove in E250 for a lot of years in the 90s. This would’ve been a much easier van to work out of than the one I had. On a sidenote, I remember riding around in a few vans when I was a kid with no seats and just flying around in the back.man that was fun!
LOL at flying out the back. We used to sleep in the back of a wagon while traveling with no seat belts or safety tech. Good times!
I think you gave the horsepower and torque numbers for the 4 cyl turbo. The 3.5 V6 twin turbo has much more power than that.
Love this van. Wow....what power. Espicially when its loaded. Still have plenty of power. Does the seats swivel thats the main thing. A van conversion would certainly be great. Thank you jan from texas. Nice video.
It really should have a solid and strong bulkhead between the front sets and cargo department. There's potentially a massive load in the back that could slam forward in an accident, squishing the occupants. I'm sure it is a factory option.
Tons of aftermarket options. There are many companies that specialize in upfitting vans for specific purpose and a bulkhead is super common. Did you want that in steel, aluminum, or insulated plastic? With a window or without? With a pass-thru door or without? etc.
Good points!
Maybe for a plumber, hvac or electrical around town. But when you're in your van 24/7 OTR, that's not practical. Install proper load securing hardware such as e-tracks.
I understand in late 2020 these will be available in AWD. My Edge has the 3.5 Ecoboost w/ AWD.
Love this van. Been looking to do a custom personal RV... this may be it
I could see this easily being made into a personal RV. Wouldn't take that much work at all.
I think you tried out a LWB Ext. If you could, try out a 250, LWB Ext, Medium Height AWD, EcoBoost. That would make a great camping van!
I’m going to keep checking what the local dealer has on his lot. I’d like to do drive some more vans.
Great Review! Really Useful. This van can work as a real work horse.
Thanks. I learned a bit about vans doing this for sure.
The battery is under the driver's seat.
My 2016 250 has the mid height roof. Those hooks are called D rings. The sliding door opens enough that a fork lift can load up one pallet. My van also has running boards for easy access. My battery is under the driver's seat. The jack is under the passenger seat. Mine also has the V6 310 hp EcoBoost engine. If you floor it it'll throw your head back!
Thanks. Learning about vans right now.
It’s like Ford built these for work and just didn’t throw something together.
These vans is built excellent. Very strong. Will last a long time. We all just need to do the speed limit. With the van loaded still have plenty of power. Maybe this 6 cyl. Will last as long as the beautiful 7.3 engine. I wonder. Plenty of power for me. Thsnk you.
Thank you.
My new motorhome will use this exact chassis...
The best car, I hope next year to purchase one, in Romania do not have engines larger than 2.2tdci, and are with adblue and price is 25000 euros, l4 h 3 double deck model. Ford 💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing.
Someday . . . someday . . .
I did a test run on one and it almost through me back in my seat as much as my 69 Torino Cobra 428 .
So, that’s an Ecoboost dually? Interesting 🤔
Optional external side step greatly reduces step in height.
I figured they had to offer something.
down by the river
This van is the reason for a different ladder rack. No way you’re getting one off the roof without a ladder, even on the low roof models.
They have drop down racks for the high roof
You called me out....big white vans are sexy!!!
This is better than a pick up truck.
You bpth are so right
You don’t need the eco boost the regular 2.5 v 6 is fast too, and it way better mpg. It’s way faster than my old 1994 351 w 210 hp. Anmd. I Ike how you don’t have to press much gas to go up hill, my old van was eating 40 buck a week this van is 18 buck week LOL
Yea and the 250 is the and lenght as the old ford 150 extended body it’s about 3-1/2 feet long than my old 150 regular so their way more room too.
The King of all vans
Battery is located under the driver's seat
Really? I didn't see it under the seat at all.
@@Pickuptrucktalk Roll the seat all the way back, unclip the plastic cover, and there it sits.
Under passenger seat
That back doors you can clearly see there are no speakers in the grill. It's not optioned out to have that
By the way the battery is under the driver seat
We have this in a coachman beyond camper van . We just tripped from nw NM to anchorage n back. Because of the git up n go this sucker has we named it Zippy on the trip!
Why didn't you measure the WIDTH of the side door opening?
Isn't that an important dimension too?
Good feedback. First time reviewing a commercial van like this one.
Also, the width between the wheel wells inside the van. Can a 4 foot pallet fit between the two wheel wells?
The new European style vans look so aggressive with a dually configuration.
People may be shocked to learn, that the tow rating (less than some, properly equipped, midsized pickups!) is actually, quite light...considering that these, are such large vans. These types of vehicles, are designed around larger PAYLOADS; and are less concerned, with maximum towing numbers.
You don't need a utility trailer when the back is larger than my 5x10 trailer! Haha. It has over twice the weight rating of my utility trailer in the back bed payload. That's pretty incredible.
I'm new to the towing thing. How much weight can you put in the back while towing its max weight of 6200lbs?
Wow super super beautiful, stylish, elegant, durable, huge and super fast 😳😱😲🤗🥰🎉
Do you review vehicles for a living? It's a dually! Of course it is rear wheel drive. So the engine can't be transverse.
JeffT you do realize a lot of dually trucks are 4wd, right
Gyrenaica 135 and do any of them have transverse engine layouts?
@JeffT,
"... the engine can't be transverse."
What I see in the video ( 16:06 ) is exactly opposite of how he describes it ( 16:12 ). Sure looks like longitudinal engine mounting to me. Not sure what he was thinking to say that while looking right at it?
7:36 Why are you taking a diagonal measurement? That makes the measurement longer and does not give you the correct width.
I want to know if you can put a raptor 700r in there and if so how much
No idea.
Let me guess you're in Vegas or in Phoenix, because I see desert landscape in the background.
Nebraska, western side near Wyoming.
Not many snow blowers in vegas
Love the vid bruh. Earned a sub!
Thanks!
I allways taught battery was under the driver seat in a transit van,?
Engine placement because it’s rwd
Good call. Thanks!
If i were to get one i would just add shelves and a right hand drive conversion kit, toilet, so I can use it for rural mail delivery. It's a big van you probably can pound out chicks in it too hehe.
Great review. I want one!!
Thanks!
Nice! Just got pretty much the exact same van, except mines a 19 with the powerstroke but other than that identical config. I do like the 2020 dash more but Kenwood/Pioneer are coming out with same really badass 10” head units that make the sync system obsolete so I didn’t mind not having it in the 19
😎 glad my video was like yours!
Whats the mpg on the powerstroke?
@Mitchell Camps decent milage for a beast!
@Mitchell Camps is this van a gas engine or desiel.
@@janchapman3746 I believe the Powerstroke is a Ford Diesel.
I still prefer the looks of the old econoline but it appears that the Transit is very capable and convenient. The 3.5 is awesome but are they putting the 7.3 in these?
7.3L? Not that I know of. The 3.5L is plenty!
Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk
Ford has said that they don’t use the ecoboost in their HD trucks because of longevity issues. I’m sure the 3.5 will be fine for 95% of applications but I wouldn’t mind the 7.3 for overall durability
@@roninkraut6873 They did offer the inline 5 diesel in prior model years. Was supposed to transition to a 4-cylinder diesel this year, but I suspect Ford has quietly killed that option as I have seen zero mention of it since it was announced over a year ago.
Apparently somewhere there was a global meeting that decided that gas would be cheap and diesel would be expensive. Glad to be on the right side of those decisions for a change. Don’t Sea foam the ecoboost. Turbo is too small. Caution: O/H! It’s great otherwise, but you have to maintain it differently
An ecoboost 3.5l and a pfdi 3.5l are the only engines available in the US transit.
PTPST, hi. How about a video of the new Ford T350 high roof dually cargo van, any new goodies for 2021??? Thank you!
Good question. Just hopped over to the media site and I don't see a lot new except for some new packages.
"Four new and one improved option packages are available including the updated Motorhome Prep Package for cutaway, the new RV Prep Package for cargo van, new Livery prep package for passenger van XLT, new Parcel Delivery Package for cargo and cutaway, and a new Adventure Prep Package for cargo or crew van."

@@Pickuptrucktalk thank you!
Great video 😂
Great job!!
Needs the new Godzilla big block as an option!
You are so incorrect
My 2016 Ford transit work van is the biggest pile of crap I've ever driven in my life. It's almost killed me when the drive shaft decided to break driving down the interstate last year. If I'm not mistaken I believe my boss has put 9k in repairs beyond factory warranty repairs with less than 70k miles on it. Did I mention it's already rusting on the roof and just last Friday the Def system failed. It's a diesel which is horribly unreliable. Thanks to my Transit I couldn't bring myself to go with a Ford truck when getting a truck this last summer.
Patchworx brewing when I was a delivery driver and my e250 heater core went out I had to rent one of these and they have all the power in the world but ford really doesn’t seem like they give a shit about the quality in them and I drove several never had one break down on me but they felt flimsy and not well put together like the econolines did so ion think it would’ve been a long stretch before other shit stared to break. I think the f150s a different story though I can’t say much for the ecoboost but I’ve driven two new 5.0s quality was there and it felt like a muscle car compared to my 5.4.
I had the same thing happened to me, driveshaft came apart on the freeway! Luckily I had an extended warranty. For anybody looking at this van, do your research. Lots of problems. I am going back to a Chevy van for my work truck. Body on frame, old tech reliable.
@@tomcorle1400 yeah it's ridiculous my 1995 Dodge ram 1500 is a great truck and it's bailed me out when this van won't make it to work. I got a newer truck last summer and I went with another Ram because I couldn't go with a Ford because of the issues I've had with my Transit. I have always been a Ford fan well until I got my old Ram a few years ago it's a great truck.
@@patchworxbrewing4164 You obviously don't know what you are talking about. The Transit didn't come in a diesel in 2016 so no def system. Maybe you are confused and talking about a Sprinter. 2020 is the first Transit that's supposed to get a diesel but so far there haven't been any made.
@@tw5315 I bet you 10k it did. If you don't believe me email me @ Patch62383@yahoo.com and I'll send you proof my Transit is a diesel
Its been 4 years now. Wonder how this van is doing
Not sure. I borrowed it for a day.
Whats the cost of this pick up van?
This was close to $50k. I covered it in the video.
Can you cut the wheel shape inside the van out it takes up space
Probably.
The price Ford is charging for these empty vans is nuts. Why does it cost the same as a truck with 4 seats, full interior and the same motor? They just pulled all the buyer incentives as well. I need a van for work and why does it cost luxury BMW money?
The Grab-Handles are Optinal.
Nice! I wonder if they have them in diesel ⛽ and all wheel drive.
I think the 2023 is an AWD
Right off the start you're (sadly) wrong - this can't tow much at all. Actually the smallest version of the Transit (150, swb, low roof) with the biggest engine (ecoboost, not diesel) has the highest tow rating in the fleet and it's still only 7500 lbs iirc. A couple years ago on the previous generation it topped out at 7100 lbs. The Sprinter is even lower, and the Promaster lower yet. The euro vans are real game changers to work out of - you'll never go back to a traditional American style van once you use one of these, but if you still need to tow they don't cut it. I really wanted one for my work but also needed to occasionally tow 7500-8000 lbs. That only left the Nissan NV2500/3500 to choose from. I ended up going with the 5.6 NV2500 rated at 9500 lbs (2016). I can assure you that 9500 lbs is only viable on flat land. Going over the Sierra is a 40 mph experience at 8000 lbs plus perhaps 1500-2000 cargo.
I don't actually like my Nissan - the truck style hood is awful; just wasted space and uglier than a Sprinter. It also gets terrible mileage, averaging 13 mpg at sea level if I baby it even with a fairly light average load. With the 7500 lb rating of the 2020 Transit 150 I might be tempted to go that way when it comes time to replace the Nissan, but hopefully by then we'll have better options available.
Thanks for commenting. I’m ok being wrong. Like I said, I have a lot to learn about vans. I hope you’ll comment back, since I’m curious about your towing needs. Why? Do you really need to tow with a van? It seems like it’s large enough as is.
@@Pickuptrucktalk I use the van for work day to day and for that it is big enough. However a few times a year I use it to haul my rock crawler to places like Moab. The crawler weighs in about 6000 lbs and the trailer about 1500, hence why I targeted 8000 lb towing capacity. I could have bought a more efficient van for work and a separate truck for towing, but for the the half dozen or so times a year I go far enough to tow instead of drive the crawler I can't justify the cost of a separate vehicle. Given even half ton trucks are rated into the 10,000 lb range these days I was surprised to find the 3/4 and 1 ton version of the big vans were rated so low. By the same token I was somewhat surprised to see how low the mileage is compared to half ton pickups which are regularly in the 15-17 mpg mixed range compared to my 13; granted my van is a 3/4 ton but I don't think the 1/2 ton version would be any better with the same motor as it mostly comes down to aero.
Good stuff thanks.
The back door...you measured how tall they are.. but not the width..
I'm so livid you're doing this tour and not focusing solely on selling this to prospective Van Dwellers and Van Lifers lol
Anybtips on getting approved for financing for a van like this?
Follow the advice on Credit Karma or similar sites to raise your credit score as high as you can.
You said "Let's start with the interior" then, well into the video you say: "Let's start with the backside." Wait, you already started with the interior. How many starts are there?
I don't want to be a jerk, but man, I was getting dizzy with that camera work. Maybe get a buddy to hold the camera while you do the demo? 😵💫
Yeah, this was an older video. I've improved since then.
@@Pickuptrucktalk -- Hahaha... right on. Cheers.
Could you tow a 40' trailer with the Diesel engine?
Depends on trailer weight.
Now they are selling these used with 100k miles for 60k lol
"basically an F350" but with a 6cyl gas motor LOL. Nothing heavy duty about that.
I must ask
How do these vans not tip over all the time
Seeing how tall they are
There is a video of this being raced around a track compared to a sprinter. It amazed me.
The weight is on the ground, it's NOT top heavy. However when empty, you will feel heavy crosswinds.
@15:19 you said 56 grand, you meant 50 grand.
New van? Man that Engine was dusty as hell
Is this an extended length?
Huh. I don’t recall. I thought I had a pic of the window sticker on this video.
@@Pickuptrucktalk why couldn’t you just answer his question without being a smart ass. 🤨 I know I’m just one but you just lost me as a follower you’re still pretty good though. ✌🏾🙏🏾
I like easy!!!!!!!!!
Transit vans don't have truck frames, they are unibody.
@Mike Studmuffin No it's not actually. Monocoque design is actually reserved for the most sophisticated high end vehicals. I did extensive research on this before I changed my fleet over to the Ford Transit vans. Every transit is equipped with Unibody Construction, making the body lightweight and highly durable, engineered with high-strength and boron steel.
Is this van is rear wheel or front?
Rear.
I’m looking front ones only
@@hassanadanwacdi1962 Ram ProMaster seems like the only choice then.
@@hassanadanwacdi1962 gayyyyy
Nowhere near as robust or durable as an old E-350. At least those old Econonlines had a real frame.....
Cost a fortune to travel in.
These unibody frames are way stronger than the econolines though
@@alextran8188 there's no way that a unibody frame is stronger than an actual truck frame. Go look at an E-350/450 cab n chassis.
@@benboyd3082 Transit chassis cab uses a ladder frame as well to adapt to standard box/bed configurations. They just have the semi-unibody like you see here for crew/cargo vans. Though both have pros and cons, the Transit's design maximizes interior volume and is said to be more rigid than the previous ladder frame. Sure it'll have less towing ability, but i think Ford was focused on what owners of this vehicle use them for primarily, which is more small business uses that dont tow as much (if ever).
@@ALMX5DP well I can tell you first hand from seeing both in the yard at the Ford plant that the transit ladder frame is made out of multiple thin pieces of steel it's nowhere near a cutaway 350 frame that's all I was saying. I know I build em everyday.
IFS versus Sprinter's solid axles? For campervan (RV) use, solid axles are probably better for light off-roading.
SpeedyGonzales I’m fairly sure Sprinters have an IFS.
@@ALMX5DP Tks! Guess you are right.
No matter. You’re not getting anywhere off road w 3’ of van behind the rear axle. Lucky if hitch isn’t scraping the occasional driveway apron around town
Remember the RV/campervan conversion sector is a tiny fraction of the market for these commercial vans. The Sprinter does come with a real 4wd vs the Transist's AWD, but neither is really intended for off-road work. More for winter road conditions or getting to an unimproved worksite.
You were making me nauseated with your fast moving filming. So annoying. The van is amazing tho, thanks the measurements.
I think 🤔 Econolines are better but great video Man
Who made the rule that you can't have the radio playing in a frekin video?

Squirrel !!!
"you won't believe how fast it is"
Where's the 0-60 and quarter mile?
Good point.
On a full tank how many miles per gallon does it get?
We averaged 16 mpg from nw NM to anchorage, AK. That’s with a coachman beyond camper setup with awning and ac on top.
So on a full tank does it get up to 260 miles or 300 miles ?
Yeah if you drive civil it’ll get close to 400 on a tank
The dash board and instrument cluster look a lot better......I have a 2015 350.
The 2015 looks very outdated compared to this 2020! My 2015 doesnt even have blutooth.......😔
Quick cause it’s empty

Why do you even bother?
