Good point and sounds like a sarcastic comment....having said that, Focus sold great around 2012-18 and look how that turned out for them!

This is where Ford fails miserably and looks like they've learned nothing from previous fuck ups. 20 hours ago, Kev-Mo said: Apparently, this is why every van I see is a Sprinter or a Dodge. Or maybe they have rear seats that are sized for American adults ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Ram is junk - the Diesels use a DCT and the others use a minivan drivetrain in FWD configuration. They are cheap but junky. Doesn't GM Still make the Express/Savana?

I suppose you refer to the late Prince by his official changed name "The Artist" while the rest of us still just say: 'Prince'. And be sure to tune in this fall to the NFL and 'The Washington Football Club' Gosh, all the worlds problems are surly saved by that!

I believe that the guys on American Picker used a Sprinter MB van for the 1st 10 seasons or so. But they said the van gave them nothing but trouble. So the have used a Transit van since and seem happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read here years ago that American Pickers was Ford product placement advertising (excellent placement choice). Like all the Dodge--- pardon me, 'The Truck Formerly Known as Dodge' trucks the Dutton family drives in Yellowstone, and Master Chief Jason Hays' nice GMC in Seal Team - there was a virtual GMC tailgate commercial in one scene this past Wednesday.

You may be right, but they did talk on their show about how their Sprinter van let them down and getting the Ford van made their traveling more pleasurable.
