We like the dual sliding doors. We install shelving on the driver side door entry way for easy access to tools. The Transit connects are decent. The full size transits are too large for us - mileage is too big of a hit. I’m sure they will last longer but by the time they are 5 or 6 years old the wrap is tired and it’s worth nothing, new stuff is out, might as well just plan on a 4 year replacement cycle and have something that always works. We’ve had some issues with the older transit connects as they get into the 100k mileage range. Our new vans are Promaster Cities. They get better mileage than our Transit Connects and are hopefully a little tougher. There are some great incentives on the Ram Promaster City vans right now.
