Rich,

The new ones are FWD and RWD. To be fair to the old ones they were bullet proof. These new ones were another development and had Ford learning all over again. The first ones were not that good although still better than The French and Italian crap. The later ones are hopefully better.

The VW LT shares only the chassis, brakes, suspension and axle with the Merc BTW.
and the door hinges ... the merc symbol gives it away

i had a vw for year , no problems whatsoever
