Maybe Sikwan will give you guys a Competition Write-ups Section?
I would appreciate it if you would start off with exactly what you ordered. Even better might be a couple lines about why you ordered what you did. That might provide a good beginning.
I've been looking around a bit. It seems the Transits can be ordered with full glass as a cargo model and a few other variations. I'm certain that the order system isn't as complex as MB likes to make ordering a Sprinter, but there must be some basic options which pretty much every new owner might want. Now that I think about it I'll create a Transit build sheet thread.
Here it is.

Wanted gas engine to get rid of the diesel emission band-aids. Tried to make medium height work but could not without giving up my insulated floor. Did not buy either the interior upgrade or exterior upgrade packages. Did not buy any security packages or the overhead air bags
Very pleased with vehicle. IMO much better vehicle than 08 Sprinter. I now have 6400 miles on it without any problems and I got rid of my Sprinter fear that it would quit many miles from a service location. First oil/filter change at 5000 miles cost $21 where I supplied the 6 quarts bought from Costco for $29. Far cry from the $350 Sprinter service. Ford recommends 10,000 mile oil change but I will do 5,000 mile.
If MPG is your sole purchasing requirement then the Sprinter is still the best choice. I have averaged 16.5 mpg since new. It finally dawned on me that fuel economy is not that important for my application. I do like the major acceleration improvement that is there when you need it. Not used often.
The most important differences are the better controls, a gearbox that works, a vehicle that handles and it is quieter.
