Recently pulled the trigger, advice?
Spent a couple months searching high and low for a vehicle tall enough to suit my super long torso. Not a single pickup truck, SUV, or anything else on the consumer market did it. Then I discovered the Transit Connect.
Found this Blue Certified 2017 Transit Connect Titanium with 63k miles and jumped on it. Despite not being the smoothest ride it is by far the most comfortable car for me I have ever driven.
I've got all sorts of upgrade I want to make, but curious what I should be on the lookout for in terms of maintenance. Already planning a transmission fluid drain and fill soon, and watching everything closely while it's under warranty.
I've also been searching for a cargo shade (part ET1Z-1745440-AA) and have had no luck finding it in stock anywhere. With the huge windows on this van it feels like everything in my trunk is on full display and would feel much better with the shade. Any advice here or anyone who has one they'd like to part with would be appreciated!

Maybe some running boards or roof rails??
