Skip,

My suggestion is go take a look at them, test them out. Here is why. I'm 6'2" about 300. My company retired my full sized Chevy van and put me into one of their new fleet of Ford micro vans that are made in England...for a short while. I think they call them Transits. You see them all over the road. The plan was to save gas, but since they are so small, you have to make two and three trips to haul the parts of one trip in a full sized van, wasting far more gas. The point is, that with my heighth and weight, that little van was killing me. In all of my 50+ years, my body had never been contorted like that for extended periods of time, since my job takes me all over the place. It sat lower to the ground, and since the seat was so low to the floor and angled straight up in the back due to lack of cab room, my legs were stuck out with no support like I was driving an Indy race car, which is fine for the short Indy race car drivers, not a guy that's 6'2" tall. By the end of the day, I'd get out and walk around like a hunch back until I'd work my way out of it, and it got worse every day for the three or so months that I had that...imported ice cream truck that's smaller than an ice cream truck. My job requires me carrying and using 6', 8', 10', and 12' step ladders and a 28' extension ladder. The accountant that got the fleet of English micro-mini ice cream trucks never considered that. Now I'm back in a 3500 series full sized Chevy, and can not only do my job in one round instead of three go backs, I can walk straight at the end of the day, not hunched over and stuff.

Everyone here can give you our opinion, but the best thing to do is go try one out. Nothing like buying something, then finding out that it really doesn't meet your needs, and then what? Go test the car. Sit in the seat, move the seat forward and backwards, up and down, move the steering wheel up and down, get in and out. Go take a look, maybe on a Sunday when dealers are closed and you can't be bothered, get an idea, and then go approach...

Good luck.

Mark

Today's Featured Article - Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the ... [Read Article]
