My company had a fleet of Ford E250 and E350s for over a decade. These vans were used daily and were reliable. We had one of the vans get in a wreck a few years ago and this forced us to finally look at other options as a replacement. We looked at the Ford transet and econoline. We were not impressed. After looking at other options like the Nissan cargo van we were convinced by a friend to look at the Dodge sprinter. The sprinter fit our need well. We currently have a fleet of 2500, and 3500 sprinters and have had nothing but good luck with them. ( **** I just jinxed it!!) The Ford is a great van, my opinion may differ from yours but we could probably both agree that it is imperative to keep your options open in order to make a sound decision. Good luck
