its not a rumor. Ford is doing is phasing out the full size Econolines.. the full size Transit will replace it. ford sells more full size vans than chevy.. the dodge full size van was dropped 10 yrs ago and replaced by the Sprinter. so that means that all those econoline vans will be replaced with thefull size Transit van.

Rumor anyway. The smaller made-in-Turkey Ford Transit Connect has been a success here (has same engine that the Bostig conversion uses). Here is what (bankrupt) Westfalia is doing with the larger Transit in Europe in case you have not seen it: http://westfalia-ford.co.uk/elevated%20roof/index.html This sells for about £50,000 in the UK or $78,000. That includes significant VATs. Both the van and conversions would have to be made/done in the US (or Mexico) to be reasonably priced. Maybe Sportsmobile will step up.
