Thanks for all your images.  I am one of many (some here) who are interested specifically in the Ford Transit due to the fact that it will be introduced here late 2013 or early 2014.

It's porn! How could you have too many pictures!?!  [big grin]

Do you have any build pix? I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see start to finish.

I have a festool CS70EB-Set, it can be placed across behind the cab.
I had a DeWalt DW743N fixed in my old truck, but this time I have decided only to bring it occasionally.

Thinking about the Transit Custom? It is in Denmark introduced at the beginning of next year - though not in a size similar to mine!  [mad]
 
I believe that the Transit Custom in your area is what is called the Transit Connect here.  That model will also become a new model in the Fall of 2013.  The 2014 Transit will look very much like a Sprinter here.

We also have the Connect model availible in Denmark - It is a very small van.
 
I'm also looking forward to the USA version of the Transit.  Although I'm sure there wont be a Diesel version so its going to have some disappointments from the start.  Sure wish the Hiace was coming to the USA!
 
Plans are to have a diesel for the Transit here.  Looks like it might be a 5 cylinder 3.7 liter manufactured by Ford in South Africa.

Jesus!! Man!  Wish you Americans became more environmental friendly I really don't see the point in a 3.7 litre transit.    

Not like you can even drive fast on your massive roads your speed limits are slow.   Top speed of my van is just under 100mph

I have a 1.6van which holds ALL my festool and it carried 25sheets of 18mm plywood 10inside my van and 15ontop of my van no problem at all apart from when it came to stopping it took a long time but engine size wouldn't help with breaking.

 
 
I don't get why we have these huge engines in our vehicles. The roads around my area are crowded and the highest speed you are able to travel before getting a ticket is 65 mph. My Nissan Titan has a 5.6 liter v8 gas guzzler in it, I average 11.5 mpg driving on local roads.  I would love to see more diesel options with smaller but powerful engines.

I think Toyota have stopped making the hiace

Mine is 15 years old and still going strong..........
 
Guys,

Personally I agree with you about the engine sizes.  My gas mileage is about the same as Dave's, but I also tow virtually every day a 5000 lb trailer.  That is why I am interested in the Transit.
