Welp, I broke down and bought a new 2018 Ford Transit 250 148" wheelbase medium roof with the 3.5L ecoboost.
They had a lot of incentives for the 2018 models bringing it under $30k. It has 45 miles on it and full warranty from date of purchase (verified). Pretty basic model though, no heated seats or frappe chiller. Plain white, no windows (except front of course lol). It does come with A/C and back up camera standard. The turbo engine makes some insane HP like 375 with 485 foot pounds of torque or something. I am hoping the midroof and a light foot will get me 16 to 19 mpg.
I think the cargo capacity for this model was 4000 pounds. The box length behind the seats is just over 11 feet and my 5"8" wife can stand up in it. (I have no hope of that at 6'7", not really even in the high roof version which I don't really like the looks of anyway).
With all of that it is almost the same length (19 feet) as my F150 supercab with 6.5 foot bed so parking should not be so bad.
At first we plan to use it for kind of a mobile workshop, but maybe a little camping could be in the future.
