so bummed they are pulling these from the market. I have a 2012 with 200,000 miles and it does everything. so much more practical than any kind of pickup.

 

[Independent Tree]

Oh No! I had not heard that Ford was dropping the Transit, that is a bummer

 

[treebing]

yeah, dodge and nissan are pulling theirs too. They say everyone wants pickups which are practically useless unless your hauling hay or you actually want everything to get blown away, stolen or wet.

That's crazy - these are great utilitarian vehicles!

I couldn't work with one of those, for you guys in the more urban areas I can see how it would be great but I need clearance and 4x4.

Ford just announced a new version: the Transit Trail.

That could be pretty cool, probably stupid expensive.

In 8/82 I bought my one and only brand new vehicle of my life, an E250. It cost me $10k with a bare naked interior. Thats about $30,400 in 2022 dollars. The van went to the breakers with about 250k miles. It was shot...worn out, needing more work/repairs than it was worth after about 15 years of doing treework. One of thee best value purchases I've ever made.

Not to be a smart ass, but where do you stack the brush?

 

[treebing]

I have stacked a considerable amount of brush on the roof. I have filled every cranny of the interior as well. I also have a little trailer that has hauled some brush.

Where there is a will, there is a way. I have a 5x10 trailer with 4' sides. Loading isn't too bad but unloading sucks.

I chip into the back of my pickup pretty often, loading is so much better than unloading.

Not at all - that's a viable question. For our part, we used this in our fleet for a climber/trainer who went from job to job & crew to crew as needed. The jobs they were on had a complete fleet to deal with any debris.
It would be perfect for a subcontract climber

Easy, just rent a debris hauler.

One of our local hacks uses U-Haul trucks in that way. His issue is that he illegally dumps anywhere he can find a dark empty spot to dump. Would like tto catch him in the act sometime.

Pretty sure I've lost a few jobs to guys doing that.
