Yep, looks great. Those tires really do make it look beefy.

Don't mean to be a buzz kill. and I totally respect MG for everything he has done in the van world.

But the transit will never be a "beefy van.

heres a reference for beefy.

That's Ford's fault... They chose to make a uni-body van. I'm just trying to make it more usable.

Currently:
-2015-2019 T150, T250, T350 SRW vans
-3.5L Ecoboost, 3.7L (no plans to support the diesel 3.2L)

Future plans (provided this works out):
-2020+ SRW
-2015+ DRW
-Gas engine models only

Several changes needed to sort out the 2020+ vans due to the different transmission, the electronic steering rack and associated hardware/software. What that really translates to is having the $$$ to prototype. If the '15-'19 kits do well, it will be feasible to move forward with 2020+.

Dayummm, that looks rad! I like the added beef you've given it! Makes a LR van look cool again.
And SO much more fun to drive in EcoBoost form vs an E-Series. This is going to be awesome!!!
