What It Answers at the Counter

“What happens when the lease is up?”

The mount comes off with the same socket set that put it on, and the roof underneath is still factory. A drilled roof has to be patched, sanded, primed and painted before the vehicle can be turned in. That is body shop money the customer never planned to spend.

“We already standardized on a lighting brand.”

Good. Vantage ships blank. There are no pre-cut openings, so your installer cuts to the exact light, camera or antenna being fitted. You are never asking a fleet to change lighting to suit a mount.

“We’re adding more vans next quarter.”

Same part numbers, same install, same result on every unit. A repeatable 30 minute job across the fleet instead of a shop morning per vehicle.

Vantage Series FAQ

Does the Vantage Series work on both the Ford Transit and RAM ProMaster?

Yes. The Vantage Series is engineered specifically for the Ford Transit and RAM ProMaster in low, medium, and high roof configurations. Use the Fit Guide to confirm your specific roof height and model year.

Can the Vantage Series be removed when the van is returned to service?

Yes. Because the Vantage Series installs without drilling, it can be removed cleanly when the van is de-upfitted, leaving no marks or damage to the sheet metal. This protects resale value and eliminates body repair costs at the end of the vehicle's service life.

Is the Vantage Series suitable for last-mile delivery fleets?

Yes. Utility operators, last-mile delivery companies, and telecom fleets running Transit and ProMaster vans use the Vantage Series as a no-drill mounting solution that protects vehicle warranty and resale value across large fleets on regular replacement cycles.
