rear floor height ???

Postby mjsroofing » Sat Jan 08, 2011 5:03 pm

hi every one, i got a good question for you all, why does the transit's have different floor heights. i stood in a lwb, medium roof t350 today and the floor was about 100mm higher than my m8s which is also a medium roof.

i've looked at pics on ebay and it seems that all the lwb have the higher floor and some mwb do also but not all of them.

i'm stuck at the min as i want to buy a second van but i want a lwb medium roof so i can stand inside but if the floor is higher i cant.

any info would be good thanks.

FWD and RWD are different. The FWD being the lower one.

Yes all FWD have the low floor and you can get the LWB in FWD.
