Thanks for watching!
That v6 absolutely SCREAMS!!! How aren't people talking about that more?? Makes me want to buy an Explorer take the dash out and remove the sound deadening to hear that 3.7 🤣🤣🤣 I'm not joking that's one of the best sounding induction noises from the interior I've heard
honestly you're not wrong
Pretty sure it's the same basic engine in my dad's Transit van. It's actually pretty damn quick when you really get on it. He's surprised a few people with how quick it is once it hits 2nd to 3rd gear.
It's just a ton of intake noise but yeah sounds nice.
I own a 2013 Toyota sequoia with the 5.7 v8 and that absolutely screams despite the sound deadening. It's not nearly as crazy as that but you definitely know you put your foot in to it. It helps that I have the towing package too, thus long gears. It's MPGs are miserable as I am sure this thing is too but it sounds fun!
Earlier models of these used the 4.6 Modular V8; I grew up in conversion vans with a handicapped twin brother, first a 2002 Chrysler Town & Country, and since 2012, a Honda Odyssey Touring.
The modular 4.6 v8 version ran on natural gas too
These are common in the NYC area. It is used by the city services to help elderly or disabled people move around the city
Reminds me of the Honda Element if Honda had put a v6 in it.
I've seen these around for years now. I think earlier models contained Ford's 4.6L V8.
THANK YOU!!! I see these things on campus and I never knew what it was, drove me insane.
The 3.7 was never used in the Flex or Taurus, that was the similar 3.5. 3.7 was used in multiple Lincoln vehicles, and Mustang and F-150, and Edge Sport for Ford. As well as the police interceptors
I see these quite normally all around SoCal and it’s cool to see someone finally reviewing one
I see these occasionally around NC. Cary and Raleigh uses these around town and always wondered what they were!
I've seen one of these around my small town and never knew what it was.
Now I do, many thanks.
My town uses these as public transport vehicles and ive always wondered what they were, super cool to finally see what they're like!
14:08 Finally, a van with an engine that actually sounds good.
Very cool!! This is the way to go if you need to transport someone in a wheelchair. Hard to beat that price.👌🏽
It looks half like a London Taxi and half like a Honda Element
Saabkyle04 has a in depth video on the van they are so weird looking but love the v8 sound
@Jonathan Earlier variants had a V8, later ones had a V6.
Magical video.
Idk why but I love these it kinda sits like a type-A school bus I also love ford products too
Make use of what name above?
@@IceFansBusesMore Don't fall for that. Its a scam bot trying to steal your money. It's not the real Topher.
Your ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
has GM suspension and a camaro differential as well. i got the older 2011 with the ford modular 4.6L v8 engine on it
Kinda want one of these just to haul stuff lol
Ha me too
Hah, there's one in my town I see once in awhile, but never close enough to see badges. Never could tell what it was.
We have these everywhere in NYC
That is a beautiful neighborhood
ok, headlights are halogen bulbs from the factory. also has DRL so the low filament or wire inside the halogen bulbs do burn out faster than the other high beam wire filament... some upgrade to LEDs just for that aspect of it. Jeep 7" round standard LED upgrades are popular, or if you just want to swap out the bulbs only 9003 is what you go for if keeping the rest of the housing assembly. after you confirmed the old halogen bulbs are good and not broken/burnt out... that stalk with the wiper function and high/low beam... its a ford part as well and the contacts may be corroded or broken inside
oops, i hit enter while editing the comment. ok. plug and play headlight bulb is 9003 or H4 when looking just to get that bulb only and re using the round glass assembly. if the housing is cracked from a stone or something, then Jeep whole headlight bulb assembly can be an upgrade. LEDs depending on manufacturer, may or may not be plug and play, so splice the wires in correctly. PS 1157NA bulbs for the smaller amber marker / turn signal bulbs and sometimes water gets in there and corrode the contact points if the plastic lens starts cracking from just age
Love the repurposed Lincoln badge 😂
I just saw one of these on the road today and came here to figure out what the heck it was. Thanks for the review.
I have one of these I have a 2014 LX, best purchase ever. Tory is right you have to find a shop willing to work on these. I have a local shop that is very good and they work on mine. Also MV-1 made their own diagnostic unit for this vehicle which is why ford dealerships won’t do most work. I am thankful I bought a diagnostic tool a few years ago it has saved me multiple times. Would I recommend this vehicle? Hell yes!
You’re actually in Palm Beach. West Palm Beach is across the bridge, Palm Beach is much nicer. Lol.
A Kia Soul and an MV1 in a palm beach culdesac. I may see another F40, but this!? Probably not again.
Doug DeMuro should review it!!
Lol Mobility (the company) stole the honda trim levels DX & LX (they also have a SE)
That engine sounds so good! -- Also, what neighborhood is this?? The hedgerows are incredible!
Honestly your friend could’ve probably found a good reliable converted van for 16k sure some miles but with no problems it’s insane that has 32k miles and has issues already with wiring
YES YOU REVIEWED ONE 😂
Ive seen those and never knew what they were
I live down the road in Mishawaka where they produced these. I test drove them in and out of the main plant for our conversion conpany. I could maybe even help source you parts easier but I couldn't promise much. Unfortunately they no longer make them at the AM general plant of course. It's a little sad too because these things had so much promise and a lot of good things going for it. But like the Hummer AM general produced, things just didn't fizzle out.
When can you do the ford f150 super snake?
14:11 Sounds like an Acura!
I went to Chicago not to long ago, these things are everywhere and they’re used as taxis
please make a video on the suzuki jimny
Do the Police Interceptor sedan and previous gen Interceptor Utility also sound like Hondas?
Where is this video from, the area looks beautiful, looks so nice I feel it’s expensive to live there
the only source of information so far is on a facebook group (which i don't really like the platform) but AM General took down the support site recently that had so much detail with the parts diagrams and every year owners manual... some parts are starting to be hard to source, but a good shop/technician can try to cross over some Ford or GM parts for it.
I got a 2012 bro base model bro no cruise it owned by Jacksonville transit authorities mine has the 4.6 with trans and corvette rear end
Hello how are you
Bad, shut up
This my first time seeing this car😂
I heard there was an awd
Not 2 wheelchairs? Just one?
I always thought these looked like a weird Honda element
A local deaf blind school used one to transport students
That’s scary
@@user59371 I guess I should’ve added “to transport students”
I think the hardest part finding someone to work on one would be finding a proper service manual.
Most of the parts would be a matter of discovering what it was designed for.
the owner of this thing did not want this guy driving this car.
10:11
Any sponsors wanna help me make a sleeper out of it
first
6:05 why do i hear a door closing if the door didnt close??
the owner of the van went on the passenger side rear door and sat in the back bench seat
