Pretty small ?
Surely, you can have the Transit in a small version - if that's what you want.
You can equally have it in a medium, big, or huge version - if that's what you need.

The Transit comes in 3 roof heights, 3 wheelbases, and 4 lengths - aside from the cabin/chassis versions.
Plenty of choice, plenty of capabilities, and plenty for European workers.
There's no reason why they wouldn't work for US workers.

Don't be fooled by the GVW - the 3500 kg / 7700 lbs limit is there because that's the limit in Europe to drive them using a car licence.
Above that weight, you need a truck licence here.


They'll likely be cheaper than the outgoing econoline to buy (when looking at the US Econoline and EU Transit prices) and most importantly, cheaper to use.
