The 2024 Ford Transit: Redefining Commercial Transportation

Reliable Performance

Ford Transit vehicles are powered by either a 3.5-liter V-6 engine with 275 horsepower or an EcoBoost turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine with 310 horsepower. Both engine options pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission and either rear or all-wheel drive. When properly equipped, Ford Transit vehicles can tow up to 4,500 pounds.

These vans are equipped with a couple of features that save busy commercial drivers time. The first is a 31-gallon fuel tank that makes it possible to go further on a tank of gas. The second is Active Park Assist, which helps you navigate both parallel and perpendicular parking spaces.

Multiple Configurations

Every business has different needs, which is why the Ford Transit line offers a variety of options. Ford Transit vans, which can comfortably seat up to 15 passengers, are available in three different roof heights and two different body lengths.

A touchscreen hosts Ford's SYNC 4 infotainment system, which offers Bluetooth phone and music streaming and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Sirius XM satellite radio, integrated navigation, and smartphone integration with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are all available as upgrades.

Safety on the Road

Ford Transit vans are equipped with airbags as well as a full suite of technology-driven driver-assistance features, including automatic high-beam headlamps, standard forward-collision warning with automated emergency braking, and standard lane-keeping assistance. Adaptive cruise control is available.

An available 360-degree mirror helps you see all of your surroundings, allowing you to maneuver safely and with confidence in tight spaces.
