They usually
are - I own a lot of stuff. Although the best van I ever had was an LDV actually, Transits aren't the be all and end all ;)

I drove LDV
17-seat buses for a few years. Trying to get 15 pissed students from central London to Ullswateron a friday evening in one of those was always entertaining

Much better to drive than trannies though. Ford gearboxes are like stirring spaghetti with a stick.
