We have T300 FWD Transits - 130bhp, ISTR.
Even with the fridge on them they still shift a bit - turn off the fridge and they fly.
(I once had one crossed up after taking a 'yump' diagonally, ended up on the wrong side of the road and could see the horror in the face of an oncoming car driver as I just managed to get it all back on track in time - thank god we don't have 'how's my driving?' stickers)
