2015 vs 2019

Postby Cladose » Tue Apr 22, 2025 4:46 am

Hello.
Considering a couple different Transits for my handyman business. Both 150s, as I’m not doing consistent super heavy hauling, just need to be able to fit the occasional sheet goods and my tools and comfortably navigate the Chicagoland area.
I’m looking at a 2015 with 72k miles for $15k. Also a 2019 with 112k miles for $17k. I’ve read that the 2015 models are susceptible to transmission problems and I’m wary of having to potentially drop a few grand outta nowhere to replace that. I’ve done background checks on both and nothing egregious other than some rear end work on the 2015 (guessing a fender bender). Given the bit of background I’ve given here, can anyone provide some insight? Thanks!
