2020 Ford Transit 2WD

We built out this van for a year of full-time climbing and biking in 2023-24 and have used it for shorter trips and weekends since. We love Ernest (it’s okay if you change his name!), but our family is growing, so it’s time for a rig with more seats. We bought it as an empty cargo van with 30k miles in Spring 2022 and did the entire build ourselves. $65k or best offer!
