3.2L Power Stroke I-5 Turbo Diesel Questions

[AC Orange]

.
I see this 3.2L I-5 diesel available in the Transit chassis. I've been looking at the Mercedes diesel powered class C's but I would like to know more about this alternative from Ford. Anybody out there have experience with this engine (or a MH with it) ?

No experience with it but do lots of research on the mercedes sprinter. A guy has a write up on his experience with the sprinter on his delivery fleet. Steered me away when we were thinking about a van.

If you are still interested, the engine is in it's forth generation of development. It's been available in the rest of the world for years and used under much tougher circumstances than they will ever see here.
My only concern would be the emissions equipment and software development used here in North America. Doesn't seem to be much of an issue though as there haven't been many reports of problems compared to the Sprinter....
