One of the main reasons I bought it was the fact that it could fit an 8 foot ladder on the inside I don’t really like putting my ladders on the outside but I don’t think I’m gonna have much of a choice
I think it has 194,000 miles on it
I’m looking for something new

Another company I worked for had Mercedes Sprinter...cannot remember which model.
The Sprinter was great for towing a trailer that was carrying a high-lift. This couldn't have been done with the Transit Connect. Also much more storage in the Sprinter, but getting a 14ft off the top was always fun! | | | | Joined: Feb 2015 Posts: 456 Likes: 1 Administrator | Administrator Joined: Feb 2015 Posts: 456 Likes: 1 | Well dodge only show a 2020 vehicle but Chrysler shows a 2021 but I believe they both have the stow and go feature.

The second row seats can't fit in the battery compartment LOL | | | | Joined: Feb 2015 Posts: 456 Likes: 1 Administrator | Administrator Joined: Feb 2015 Posts: 456 Likes: 1 | That is true. But I think in maybe our lifetime. Most consumer vehicles will be only hybrid or all electric. Consumer reports has released a study that states long term they are vastly more efficient than combustible engines. Meaning expense to fuel and maintain is lower and by quite a bit..
