2014 Ford Transit Connect (is it avaliable yet?)

[TomcoPDR]

Anyone work at Ford dealer? Are the 2014 Transit Connect out yet?

Drove by dealerships in 3 Alberta towns (including Cgy of course), haven't seen anything on the lots; but the Ford.ca already have pricing and everything.

Thanks man.

Not sure if this is a good trades truck/hauler or purely a CanadaPost, pastry bakery, flower delivery... I'd say I haul around 250-300 lbs trade tools... (I think ur a Ford mechanic right), would you mind taking 2 sales guy and yourself whipping around see how it handles with the weight? (or just go with one, 300 lbs fat receptionist chick)

Or maybe stick with a truck :dunno: (don't wanna do the Econoline E-150; which I think is branded as Ford Transit/full-size)...

Would u give up ur bike for one?

So how would the nv200 handle with weight??

I feel I need to warn you that the transmissions on t-connects are underbuilt,
We see them at the shop in groups of 4-5 at a time. Torque converters typically come out blue for being over heated, along with grenaded planetary assemblies.

There isn't much sway in them when loaded, they hug the ground fairly well.

I will get back to you in about a half hour to confirm availability

I guess I failed, my dealer has no information on them

Kinda strange?
