Company I work for is looking at a newer Ford Transit 250 high roof all wheel drive for delivery purposes. Is this the same chassis as the 2wd vans? Also any issues to look out for?

I have a 2017 rwd transit and a 2022 awd high roof, biz trucks hauling passengers and trailers. They're prettymuch the same chassis. They're both 350's. I've had no issues with either. I keep hearing the smaller ecoboost engines can have problems but mills in these seem to not have issues according to the interwebs I've been able to find. The research I did said to confine my search to 2017 or newer though. Picked up the new van friggin new... aint never done that before but I've wanted an awd work van my whole career. And I tell you what. It's black magic. I've driven several other awd platforms. So when we drove by the Buick partly in the ditch next to an absolutely solid ice skating rink road, on a bit of a hill, I figured there was zero chance this 7000 lb peoplemover would accomplish anything. I could barely walk on that ice. Hitched up the tow strap, made sure the van was in snow mode, and yanked that car up and out without even detectable wheelspin. Zero drama. Astonishing...
They both go down the road better than the equivalent current issue ladderframe chevy or the older Ford vans. Brakes are big enough to not warp the rotors within months of installing new brake hardware. I'm impressed and expect to not have to replace either of these before I retire...
