Title: Wonders with Diesel engines
Post by: Phillip Higginbotham on December 04, 2020, 11:43:06 am
Hello,
I am new to the forum and was curious to see how reliable you have found the Ford 3.2 engines to be? Any issues?

We have used our 2019 WFTB for a year and half, just over 10,000 miles. No issues with Ford chassis so far, have not been to a Ford dealer for anything, but tried to get oil changed 2 times, while on the road.  Called about 8 fleet dealers, all but one would not work on RVs!  And that dealer was too far away.
Ended up buying oil & filter and having it done at a quick lube

We have a Wonder 2019 FTB. I think we are close to 15,000 Miles no issues so far. Very happy with how it performs...

Did they pull it into their bay?

6700 miles, no issues whatsover. Unlike the MB Sprinter, which by this time, on both of the ones I owned, had warranty issues on the engine or drivetrain. Go Ford!

No problem with our 2018 WFTB  diesel.  Also for oil changes just tell the dealership its a trasit box truck we have had no problems with getting a oil change.
