2019 Ford Transit 2WD

About the build

* Built to prioritize for flexibility, safety, and maintainability. All systems are incredibly easy to access.

* Modeled closely after the vandoit Liv model from circa 2021 (THIS VAN WAS NOT BUILT BY VANDOIT). 95% of the functionality for about half the price. A similar used vandoit van goes for $90-$110k. Built on a blacked out 15 passenger ford transit van. This van has up to 8 seats (driver, passenger, and up to 6 rear seats) that all retain the factory mounting points and all factory side curtain airbags. Swap in and out the easily removable kitchen pod and refrigerator. Swap in and out the overhead cabinets. Easily access cargo on the slide out equipment tray.
