GENERAL INFORMATION

Ford transit minivan for small groups – The Ford Transit is a range of light commercial vehicles produced by Ford since 1965. Sold primarily as a cargo van; The Ford built the Transit also as a passenger van (marketed as the Ford Tourneo since 1995), minibus, cutaway van chassis, and as a pickup truck. They have sold over 8,000,000 Transit vans ; making it the third best-selling van of all time and have been produced across four basic platform generations (debuting in 1965; 1986; 2000; and 2013 respectively); with various “facelift” versions of each.

The first product of the merged Ford of Europe, the Transit was marketed through Western Europe and Australia; by the end of the twentieth century, it was marketed nearly globally with the exception of North America until 2013 when it replaced the Ford E-Series in 2015. The Transit has been the best-selling light commercial vehicle in Europe for forty years; and in some countries the term “Transit” has passed into common usage as a generic trademark applying to any light commercial van in the Transit’s size bracket. While initially designed for the European market; the Ford Transit is now produced in Asia, North America, and Europe for worldwide buyers. Upon production in North America, the Transit won second place in Motor Trend’s 2015 ‘Truck of the Year’ award; behind the newly introduced mid-size Chevrolet Colorado pickup and ahead of the new Ford F-150.

THE FOURTH GENERATION ( 2013 – PRESENT)

The fourth-generation Transit was launched in January 2013 at the 2013 North American (Detroit) International Auto Show. In contrast to the previous generation developed in the United States (but never sold there); the fourth-generation Transit was co-designed by Ford of Europe and Ford in North America – Ford transit minivan for small groups

The introduction of the fourth generation marks a split of the Transit model line; the previous front-wheel drive version has now become the Ford Transit Custom, sized between the Transit and the (much smaller) Transit Connect; intended to compete against the Mercedes-Benz Vito/Viano and Volkswagen Transporter, it is not currently sold in North America. The rear-wheel drive Transit serves as the replacement for the long-running Econoline/E-Series (the E-series remains in production solely as a cutaway chassis cab).

While the front-wheel drive Transit was sold in Mexico from 2007 to 2013 (replacing the Freestar); the Transit was excluded from the United States and Canada (largely due to model overlap with the E-Series) from its 1965 introduction. As part of its development, Ford imported previous-generation examples of the Transit into the United States for evaluation purposes and durability testing.

In a design shift, the Transit (and Transit Custom) moved from the New Edge styling of the previous generation to the Kinetic design language; the interior was influenced by the third–generation Ford Focus.

BODY CONFIGURATIONS

Ford transit minivan for small groups – The fourth-generation Transit is available in both cargo van and chassis cab/cutaway cab configurations; the pickup truck has been discontinued. Along with two different wheelbases, Transit vans are offered in three different roof heights; extended-length vans are offered with dual rear wheels. As with the smaller Transit Connect (and other Ford trucks), the Transit is sold in XL and XLT trims.

The high use of boron steel in the body allows for a 600-pound increase in payload capacity in the Transit (when compared to a similar E-Series/Econoline).

POWERTRAIN

At its launch the fourth-generation Transit retained several diesel engines from its predecessor; including 2.0L, 2.2L, and 2.4L inline-4s, along with a 3.2L inline-5. For North American production, several revisions were made; with the adoption of a 275 hp 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 (as the standard engine), a 310 hp 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6; and a 3.2L inline-5 diesel (under PowerStroke branding); the diesel is the sole engine shared with Otosan-production vehicles. Each engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

FACELIFT ( 2020)

For the 2020 model year; the Ford Transit undergoes a mid-cycle model revision, including an update of the front fascia and dashboard. For versions produced in North America, the powertrain undergoes several revisions. The 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 is retained, with an all-new 3.5L naturally-aspirated V6 and a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbodiesel (EcoBlue); the latter is shared with the Ranger (outside of North America). In line with the F-Series and Ranger, a 10-speed automatic transmission replaces the previous 6-speed automatic. As an option, all-wheel drive is offered for the first time for the model line.

For the first time in North America, the Transit is offered in a crew van configuration; Effectively a hybrid of a passenger and a cargo van; the one-row seating configuration allows for a large rear cargo space and five passengers. A power-sliding door is introduced; dual sliding doors are offered on cargo vans.

This Ford Transit is powered by the 2.2-liter Duratorq engine which it shares with the Ranger XLT. On the transit, the 2.2 liters can make 135 horsepower and 385 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels with a six-speed transmission. For safety, the Ford Transit comes standard with an Electronic Stability Program, a hill launch assist; tire pressure sensors; Anti-lock Braking System; an emergency hammer and an emergency escape hatch.
