The Ford Transit Cargo Van offers so much to so many it is massively configurable thanks to three roof heights and three body lengths, as well as two solid engines. A ten-speed automatic transmission means you get the most out of the engines and ensure low-rev crusing ability.įord has a winner on its hands. Either a 275-hp/260-lb-ft naturally aspirated or a 310-hp/400-lb-ft twin-turbocharged version of the same 3.5-liter V6 gas engine can be specified and although the latter provides surprising punch for a van, it's quite heavy on fuel. The AWD system is designed to have no impact on the floor height or load space. We love the fact that Ford offers this van in AWD it allows you to venture onto slippery roads and give you the confidence to tackle snow, while improving handling and safety. Braking is decent, as long as you remember that big vans on commercial tires don't stop on a dime like a car, especially when loaded. On smooth road surfaces, the Transit is well-behaved, but its lack of insulation makes it less refined than the more car-like Sprinter. This van will spend most of its life in the city, and for that reason, Ford fitted the Transit Cargo Van with light and precise power steering that makes turning sharp corners and making U-turns a cinch. Vans have come a long way in terms of drivability, and in the case of the Ford Transit, they have even taken on some of the handling characteristics of smaller vehicles.
