Hired one a couple of days ago, a diesel, did around 150 miles on familiar roads.
It had a bit of torque steer unlike rwd Transits of old, but of course a good-as-gold obedient back axle. You only noticed the torque steer in first and second, going hard, anyway. Rather sudden turbo power delivery in those gears too. But the thing smoothed out quite well fast and would obviously have managed 90, although I didn't make it do that. Went much more nicely on a light throttle anyway. And did 38 mpg or something like it.
A bit coarse in the Ford manner, very actually, but an excellent machine and worthy successor to its forebears.
