[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1016207, member: 33696"] too bad many contractors that have recently expanded their fleet didn't get the Reach... it's just too expensive, eventhough it boasts better mpg & longevity. The Ford e450 are easy to work on & since there are tons of these vehicles running about, the replacement parts cost are way cheaper than those sprinters that Express has purchased... I got to drive a spankin' new one today: ah the yellow handrail that was also seen on the Reach; i personally don't want it, but this vehicle isn't mine so it'll stay on there. typical ford console; wtf no power door locks?!? I have to manually insert a key for the bulkhead/side doors/ and rear garage door... way to cheap out on the important stuff! at least we have a fan and backup monitor... radio is so-so due to the antenna, but at least i can put in a CD or a USB/ audio input cable for a mp3 player... needs a longer mast to go above the roofline... ah, shelves... and roomier than a typical sprinter AC works as well which was surprising for this is probably the last week of another heat wave... the typical build quality is poorer than the older repainted DHL vehicles i've driven in the past. I prefer the older DHL vehicles since they were equipped with power locks / transmitter-fob... gas engine is quiet and "torque -y " i did drove the newer GMC vehicles & they seem to have their transmissions up to par now. Express will have higher repair/maintenance costs with those mercedes sprinters... [/QUOTE]
