Anyone experience of the running gear in these ?

We’re after a couple of LWB flatbeds , but after both our 2012 Transits blowing up within a month of each other, not got much faith left in Ford. Currently looking at 2018 models with 95k on them.

My preference is VW Crafter, but finding a LWB withtail lift is hard work.

Seems the 2.0 has had issues mainly the wet timing belt and injectors ,
Sadly the transit is the nicest to drive and you can get high specifications limited models
The engines aren’t expensive to replace but the cheapest is one you never buy !!
I’d look at the Iveco daily especially the auto ones
the sprinters are Very basic and not that nice to drive unless you spec the better seats and air con etc but the price is ££££€€€$$$$¥¥¥¥!!! Ouch
