DRIVING THE SRV
It had been years since I’ d been at the wheel of a Ford Transit, and as I cruised along the freeway, I was reminded of just how enjoyable it was to drive. The 2L turbodiesel engine of the rear-wheel-drive Transit might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but it gets up to speed quickly enough, the ride is fairly smooth, and I found the rearward visibility to be pretty good, too, though of course with a setup such as this, you will always be heavily reliant on your mirrors. Naturally, you also get all the features and comforts of the Ford Transit in the driver’ s cab, such as a 360-degree camera view of the vehicle’ s surrounds and adaptive cruise control.
From a drivability perspective, the only other thing I’ d point out is that the squeaks and rattles coming from the living quarters were minimal. Some similar vehicles I have driven have been atrocious in terms of noise – even before things like plates and cutlery have been added – so on that front, the SRV 22.2 does well.
