Ford shows dealers a Maverick-based Transit Connect replacementYou're correct that word "failure" is a bit harsh. I wasn't suggesting they are bad vans, just that demand potential is limited, hence why manufacturing in NA was probably too difficult to justify. They also have more competition in that some of their applications could be met by minivans from Honda, Toyota, etc. I think the sweet spot is to target between minivans and full-size vans, where competition in NA is not as crowded. It should be as large as possible while still garageable, economical, maneuverable, etc. That essentially describes Transit Custom; at least low-roof variant.
i realize Custom is more expensive than smaller vans, but according to Ford UK prices, Custom is cheaper than full-ice RWD Transit, as should be expected. The same should apply in North America.Mon, 19 Aug 2024 14:11:45 +0000
