what is the main complaint about transmission

Hello, The Ford Transit has a known issue with catastrophic transmission failure. The transmissions were failing for a few consecutive years, including yours, and I do not have a TSB for this issue. A quick search shows this happened for vans with as little as 8,700 miles, maybe less.

Nice little van, but do not use with small trailers. Local rv dealer put hitch on, told us we could pull 1/2 ton trailer. After 12000 miles, transmission having shift, over rev slippage, replaced. 12000 approx, more miles similiar problems, replaced trans , lucky under warrenty, ,. Moral of the story, do not pull any kind of trailer with these vehicals.
