Overview

If a pickup truck or minivan won't cut it for your stuff- or people-hauling needs, the Ford Transit might be the paragon of utility that you're looking for. Offered in either Cargo or Passenger guise, Ford leaves the choice between a seemingly boundless cargo hold or seating for up to 15 occupants to you.

That's only the tip of the full-size van's configurability iceberg, though, and with two wheelbases, three body lengths and roof heights, two engines, and rear- or all-wheel drive to pick from, the Transit is a blank canvas. The Transit's main van rivals include the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and the Ram ProMaster, vehicles with similar space and versatility.

Expert Tip: If emissions-free hauling is something that interests you, take a look at the all-electric Ford E-Transit. It doesn’t offer nearly as many configuration options as its gas counterpart, but its 159 miles of range and 4,201-pound max payload make it a solid choice for green-thumbed haulers.

What's New for 2027?

Other than a new Iconic Silver Metallic exterior color, the Ford Transit soldiers on into 2027 unchanged.

If this year's model is largely unchanged and you're comfortable with a lightly used car, you may want to consider shopping previous model years. A one-to-three-year-old model will likely have a warranty and it'll cost less than buying new.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The Transit is available with a choice of two powertrains and either rear- or all-wheel drive. The naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V-6 makes 275 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, while the EcoBoost twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 is rated for 310 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Both come with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

We like the Transit’s compliant-for-a-van suspension tune, which also manages to provide decent handling. These qualities go a long way toward keeping the occupants feeling fresh over longer slogs.

What's Your Car Worth?

Car and Driver calculates your car's value in three free and easy steps - using the same Black Book® data dealers use to appraise vehicles.

0–60-MPH Times

In Comparison: The last Transit we tested posted a 6.7-second run to 60 mph. That's impressive acceleration for a full-size van and much quicker than the Ram ProMaster's 8.1-second time.

Towing and Payload Capacity

The Transit can tow up to 6900 pounds, depending on how it’s configured. Its payload also varies, with some models topping out at 3,060 pounds while others offer up to 5,103 pounds.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

Full-size vans such as the Transit are exempt from federal fuel-economy standards, so there are no EPA ratings to reference. These big boxes are, by nature, aerodynamically challenged and heavy, characteristics that make for less-than-ideal fuel-economy numbers.

An all-wheel-drive 2020 Transit with the twin-turbo V-6 returned only 13 mpg combined in mixed driving while our hands, although it did manage 16 mpg in our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test. A rear-wheel-drive model with the same engine did slightly better in our highway test, seeing 17 mpg.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

First Row: The Transit's seating is comfortable, its ride is smooth, and interior noise levels are reasonable for a work van. Shoppers can also delete the front passenger seat in certain models, leaving only a driver’s seat.

Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Rows: Some Transit passenger vans can seat up to 15 people across five rows, with two people up front; three seats in the second, third, and fourth rows; and a four-person bench in the wayback. Said configuration is optional on Long models and standard on Extended ones.

Cargo Capacity: Shoppers have lots of decisions to make when ordering a Transit, including selecting its wheelbase length, roof height, seat count, and payload rating—all of which impact how much stuff fits inside. To give you an idea of just how cavernous this van is, consider this: A Chrysler Pacifica has about 141 cubic feet of cargo capacity with both of its rear rows folded into the floor; the smallest Transit cargo van has twice that amount of space (and the largest, almost quadruple).

Infotainment and Connectivity

All Transits come with a 12.0-inch infotainment screen that runs Ford's Sync 4 software. A four-speaker sound system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth phone and music streaming, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are all standard. The options list includes SiriusXM satellite radio and either a 6- or 8-speaker stereo.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

The Ford Transit offers a fair number of driver-assistance features that can help prevent collisions.

For information about the Transit's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Ford protects the Transit with warranty coverage that’s typical for the segment and offers no complimentary service or maintenance agreement. The Chevrolet Express and the GMC Savana both come with one free service visit.
