>Um... what full sized van market?

From the last article:

>It's one of the fastest-growing, most lucrative vehicle segments -- yet you'll almost never see one prominently parked in a dealership's showroom.

>U.S. sales of full-size vans are increasing eight times faster than the industry average so far in 2016. Combined with their compact siblings, com-mercial vans are on track to top half a million sales for the first time this year.

>While the pace of overall industry gains is slowing, the improving economy means demand for work vans is actually heating up.

That shit is fun to drive, I drive my bosses sometimes. Almost tipped it over once

That's because they're fleet vehicles for military and shit

I see these everywhere now. My boss is in the market for these to replace his old Astro vans.

ALL full-size vans are fleet vehicles.

The Transit just happens to be destroying everyone else.

To be fair, the new one was co-developed by Ford of Europe and Ford of America.

I want one of those so bad.
Would it be dumb to buy one as a DD?

A lot of people are buying them as vandweller vans.

A small/8 or 12-seat low-roof version is pretty decent if you have a large family.

There's even conversion van versions:

You never see them as a non-company vehicle.

You've never used a van in your life.

Pick one. Americans have an obsession with shitty pick trucks and will continue to use them despite vans being far more practical.

I just want a Tarago, I don't care how shit they are.

They look so fucking cool.

In Britain, where it's generally accepted as the best van already?

The only reason not to use them is if you need specific coachbuilding, or want to 'save money' buying cheaper Ivecos.

>>15150820
Ayup.

More than likely, Ford Europe designed the van, Ford Murrica took notes.

That's horseshit, you can fit far more variety of items in the back of a pickup.
