See What Our Customers Have to Say
“Our first trip was Great! I accidentally took it down an offroad section and we were so happy to have the AWD transit! It drives so nice. It is built so well! I’m also happy we bought from a local family owned company.”
“The van is so well built, the systems are simple and easy to operate. You really do not get how great Grit is looking at the website, the real beauty of the van is found only in their use. The design is UX perfection, Grit has thought through the features and placed them in the optimal spot to maximize efficiency and space savings. I could go on, but just know you can’t do better than Grit!”
“Van has been so good. Nells and I just got back from a quick trip near Goblin Valley. Found the coolest spot to camp for the night – sleeping with the doors open under a full moon. It really looked like we were on another planet with the Goblin Valley background. Also, the fact that we could make spaghetti and garlic bread in the van…out in the middle of nowhere 😂 Seriously love how we can go anywhere in it. It truly is the vehicle to adventure in, like we talked about. Doesn’t become the adventure, but facilitates it.”
“Dan, thanks for blessing us with this van! “
“We really enjoyed our week trip down the Oregon coast. Love the van!!”
“The van is so quiet when driving!”
“We’ve had our Link for just over a month now and love it. Thanks for helping to point us in the right direction.”
“We are golfing Bandon and having a blast. We’ve been taking pictures of our van at awesome scenic points. We golfed old MacDonald today and golfed Sheep Ranch yesterday.”
“Just wanted to thank you again for taking the time to give me a call…we really appreciate the awesome customer support! We were on the roll yesterday and today into the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona. This afternoon or tomorrow morning I’ll make the repair and thanks to your fantastic advice, I am certain it will go well.”
“Dan, this little disassembly exercise gave me another glance at Grit’s build quality, and I can say I’m quite impressed! Also validates my decision not to go the DIY route — too many ‘firsts’ would have to be worked through and resolved. I revise my previous estimate that it would have taken two years to complete my DIY build to 4 years! So much to work through and figure out! If you have a moment when you’re with your staff, please give them my thanks for work they (and you) should be very proud of!”
