Rear Wheel Drive Boxer and 70 bhp Boxer
I am looking for a Campervan and see one which the owner says is rear wheel drive. I thought all Boxers would be front wheel drive. Can you advise on whether or not this is a good idea? Upsides and downsides? If, indeed, RWD exists.
Also as previously posted do any of you drive a 70 bhp 1.9D as a campervan and if so can you give your opinion of the power for Scottish driving?
Thanks v much

There was a four wheel drive version but I've never heard of a rear wheel drive Boxer.JudyP wrote:I am looking for a Campervan and see one which the owner says is rear wheel drive. I thought all Boxers would be front wheel drive.

The van conversions on the Ford chassis are rear wheel drive.

Hi Peter, as a non technical person :-) can you have a Ford chassis and a Boxer top? This is a Symbol 2007 (56). Thanks

'Fraid not Judy :-) have a look at the Duetto, very similar layout to the Symbol but on a Transit.JudyP wrote:Hi Peter, as a non technical person :-) can you have a Ford chassis and a Boxer top? This is a Symbol 2007 (56). Thanks

All boxers except 4 x 4 are front wheel drive...1.9 engine is plenty big enough for a panel van..BUSBY65.

Hi,
I have a 1.9turbo diesel Boxer Harmony and the 85bhp struggles a bit on very steep hills and needs getting into a lower gear for long drags.
A 1.9d would probably struggle over a hump back bridge !
