Let me guess, all three were long wheelbase and middle roof?
I was disappointed with lack of headroom and space in general with the one I saw in person, so I've been waiting to see a high roof extended cargo van. Seems the LWB middle roof is what they manufacture and ship first.

Re: Ford Transit details
Just pulled this from the Quigley news page.
2014 Ford Transit
Quigley Motor Company is planning to offer our 4x4 system on the new Transit full size line which is geared to replace the E-Series in 2014. Please monitor this News section in the up coming months as we will keep you informed when we learn more details. We thank you for your interests in the new Ford Transit model line.
8/05/14 - Up on the lift and officially starting the proto-type design and engineering phase!
8/04/14 - Finished with baseline measurements. Vehicle is staged ready to start proto-type build.
8/01/14 - Received the recently purchased Transit and did our official "Checked-in" process. Got a few of the based line statistics/measurements needed.
7/28/14 - Went to local dealer that received a Transit in this week. It is the 3.7L, the only engine option we did not order. So we purchased it on the spot!

Re: Ford Transit details
I went & drove one, got to crawl under and ck it out. They drive nice, power is good and overall I thought it was pretty cool!
Not cool for a 4x4 conversion in my opinion though. Maybe an IFS system but the rack & pinion is right in the way of a driveshaft! P side drop, who knows. Interested to see what Q does.

Re: Ford Transit details
I think they are looking at IFS first. Problem might be that it could cost as much as the 4x4 sprinter.

Re: Ford Transit details
Nice van, wadewaydo! I actually do like the Transit though there are some things that could have been improved or thought out well enough. They also should have kept the Econoline van for commercial only or at least updated it to make it modern.
If only Ford simply offers factory-direct 4x4 option like the worldwide Transit, that'd be great. The US Transit could easily have the 2015 F-150's IFS 4x4 system since they are both built in the same plant. You'd think Ford would have pre-planned on that. Instead, we'll have to wait at least a year for Quigley or QuadVan to come up with their conversion that may or may not work.
