Fleet Owner recently got a second crack at one of Ford Motor Co.’s full-size Transit vans – affectionately dubbed “Big Red” – for a week-long test drive, putting the vehicle through its paces (loaded and unloaded) over 602.4 miles of highway and urban driving conditions across the state of Virginia. One big perk included with this Transit test model: satellite radio. That premium option provided 24/7 access to classic heavy metal music. (All photos by Sean Kilcarr/Fleet Owner)
