Re: Why delay on ProMaster?
So what does this mean, that SMB will focus more on Ford 4X4 niche market? I can understand if they want to own that segment because it has far less direct competition, but to ignore ProMaster models for a year suggest to me that there might be an underlying issue.
PMs now make up 70 percent of Euro van campers, Winnebago has had the Travato out for about a year, and dozens of individuals if not smaller one-man companies have completed PM conversions. I can also see a delay with low-roof penthouse model, but why no high roof that only takes interior?
Are they likely waiting for an order to develop first unit, or will they develop a prototype and then try to sell it? How did they handle new vans like Sprinter when they came out?
