OZK-Approved Van Platforms

We specialize in three proven van platforms that offer the best combination of reliability, parts availability, and conversion compatibility. Our expertise runs deep on these specific models.

Ford Transit (2015+)

America's most versatile commercial van platform. The Ford Transit offers the widest range of configurations, excellent parts availability, and proven reliability for van life conversions.

  • Model Years: 2015 to current (all years supported)
  • Engine Options: 3.7L V6, 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 3.2L PowerStroke Diesel
  • Drivetrain: RWD standard, AWD factory option, Quigley Q-Lift compatible
  • Configurations: Multiple roof heights, wheelbase options, cargo/passenger variants

Why We Love Transit

  • Most configuration options of any van
  • Best parts availability nationwide
  • Factory AWD option available
  • Quigley Q-Lift authorization
  • Easiest platform to work on
  • Strong resale value retention
OZK Recommendation: Transit 250, 148" WB, Medium Roof, AWD for the perfect balance of capability and livability.

Sprinter Considerations

  • Premium build quality and materials
  • Tallest interior height available
  • Excellent diesel fuel economy
  • European engineering standards
  • More complex systems
  • Higher maintenance costs
Important: We only work on VS30 platform Sprinters (2019+). Earlier models have known issues.

Mercedes Sprinter (2019+ VS30)

The premium option for van conversions. Sprinters offer exceptional build quality, maximum interior height, and diesel efficiency, but require specialized knowledge for proper conversion work.

  • Model Years: 2019+ VS30 platform only
  • Engine Options: 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder, 3.0L V6 diesel
  • Drivetrain: RWD standard, AWD available
  • Configurations: Multiple wheelbase and height options

Platform Restriction: We only work on 2019+ Sprinters with the VS30 platform. Earlier models have reliability and parts issues that make them unsuitable for conversion work.

Ram ProMaster (2022+)

The value leader in van conversions. ProMasters offer the lowest entry cost, widest rear opening, and low loading floor, making them excellent for budget-conscious builds and cargo-focused conversions.

  • Model Years: 2022+ (latest generation only)
  • Engine Options: 3.6L Pentastar V6
  • Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive (FWD)
  • Configurations: Multiple wheelbase and roof height options

Platform Update: We only work on 2022+ ProMasters with the updated platform. These have resolved many reliability issues from earlier generations.

ProMaster Advantages

  • Lowest base purchase price
  • Widest rear door opening
  • Lowest loading floor height
  • Better fuel economy than larger engines
  • Growing aftermarket support
  • Simpler systems vs European vans
Best For: Budget builds, cargo-focused conversions, urban delivery, and customers who don't need 4x4 capability.
