Would have been great to include a price comparison between Ford's approx $12k trail package versus the Gone Mobil aftermarket mods to reconfigure the stock AWD to the trail pkg level, which would help potential buyer's decide which Transit config to order. Appreciate your videos. Vans (interior and exterior) look great.
If you were just to consider the lift kit, wheels and tires, then a standard AWD Transit would be cheaper than the Trail package. But, the Trail comes with other things that not all standard AWD's come with, including swivel seats, dual batteries, dual alternators, etc. This can all be ordered on a standard AWD, so including all those things, the difference in cost can be minimal. If you don't want all those things, then you can definitely come out ahead with a standard AWD and doing upgrades with aftermarket parts.
You guys rock! Clear no nonsense information. Thanks for helping me understand the differences between the Trail and the regular AWD Transit.
Glad to help!
This 82 yo, appreciates your informative video. Thank YOU ❣ ep🐢
You are so welcome!
Thank you, Cindy
Nice presentation
This guy and AVC Rig are the only Transit-exclusive upfitters I know. And between them I’d choose GMV.
Tank you but I would have appreciated a more sid by side and $/$ comparison. You didn't mention the trail Max fan location that Ford puts on the Trial, is that a plus or minus for coming in after with roof a/c and solar panels?
Ford put a speed limiter on the Transit Trail. The top speed is set to 81 mph. The speedometer is 3 mph off, so the actual top speed is 78 mph. We can't even drive the speed limit in a few states.
Very diplomatic...
Are they still making the tire well the same after the recall for damaged tires?
From the tires scraping in front, diff whine from low fluid, and mediocre lift, the Trail is a pass now. Would rather spend $12k with you or elsewhere. A lot of unhappy Trail owners now.
The tire issue is nuts because Ford's solution is putting smaller tires on the Transit. Oh, Ford. Your solution makes so much more sense and isn't the 'lazy way' out.
You love complaining huh
I do like the way the Trail looks, but they should have used the QLIFT. They way they did it sucks IMO. The your White set up!
In the UK neither are an option due to the huge problems with the wetbelt system with a huge number of owners having the timing belts snapping at 40,000 miles and Ford refusing to cover the costs under warranty. Its a pig in a poke.
What are you doing with those transit rail takeoff wheels? Would love to buy one as a spare.
We have some available for sale. Message us through our website.
Considering most driving is done on the road , how do they handle on the highway ?
Either setup is quite nice on the highway. In my opinion , the Transits drive really nice. The adjustable rear Falcon Shocks are a nice addition too.
Brendan...I'm assuming that you're leaving the front wheel well liners off or pulling them for use with the larger tire sizes?
Yes, we removed the front mud flaps and the front wheel well liners. Quite a few of the Transits we get don't come with the wheel well liners anyway. Without those two things, there's plenty of room.
@@gonemobilevansNice neutral review with good info. Appreciate it.
So you don't feel the liners are necessary to keep mud or debris from going into the area? I'm not exactly sure what's behind them
And how much petrol do the gas vehiclel guzzle ? The Ford is not available w/ Diesel ?
My 2023 trail get 16.8 mpg at 65 mph. 10,000 miles so far.
Add timestamps
In other words, not much difference and lots of mods needed for each.
