It wasn't that long ago that vans and motorhomes had 7.5-liter gasoline or 7.3-liter diesel engines, and now some the size of the Axis are powered by 3-liter diesels, and other motorhomes slightly smaller are getting by with 3.6 to 3.7 liter gasoline engines. Personally, I want to see the lines between Class As and Bs blurred to a greater degree. The Axis is a great first step.

I agree completely. Even better if we could get by with the 3.5L Ecoboost in the F-150
(which is also available in the Transit)
