Transit Connect redone for 2014 still cost more than the old Econoline fleet. I see the TC series as just a pass through until Ford gets to where it feels the market is safe to reintroduce the E150 then you will see it back on the market. The TC a Turkish built van cannot be real prosperous for them in fleet sales.
