2027 Ford Transit Model Review with Prices, Photos, & Specs

The Ford Transit is the ultimate versatile work vehicle. The Transit offers maximum interior space while keeping exterior size as practical as possible. That’s how the Transit is able to offer a maximum cargo capacity of 487.3 cubic feet, nearly double what old-fashioned competitors like the GMC Savana offer. And unlike those other vans, the Transit is also available with all-wheel drive, so your cargo can get where it’s going even with Ohio winters to contend with. The low floor makes loading and unloading easy, whether it’s cargo or passengers, and the Transit can seat up to 15 in passenger form. The large sliding door provides much better access than the doors on those old-fashioned vans as well. And for those managing a fleet of vehicles, Ford Pro™ Telematics will help you maximize efficiency.

There are 38 possible configurations of the Ford Transit, and this fact alone shows why it’s such an incredibly popular commercial vehicle. Whatever you need a van to do, there’s a way to dial in a version of the Transit that’s just right for you. There are three roof heights, two wheelbase lengths, and three overall body lengths. There are cargo configurations with just the seats up front, and up to 487.3 cubic feet of cargo space in the back. You can opt for a passenger configuration, with seating for up to 15. Ford also lets you split the difference with the Crew Van configuration, which adds a second row of seats, but still leaves a massive cargo area behind them. Then there are the options offered by upfitters. With 13 upfitters just in the 30-mile radius surrounding the Transit assembly plant in Kansas City, Missouri, it’s easy to find an upfitter that works directly with Ford to give you a Transit that’s suited to even the most specialized of tasks.

Transit configurations fall into three categories: T-150, T-250, and T-350. Despite the similar naming convention, this is different from how Ford pickup trucks work, where the F-150 and F-250 are entirely different models. These categories for the Transit just signify a range of GVWR ratings, and all use the same platform and the same drivetrain options. So the T-150 comes with the lowest GVWR ratings, ranging from 8,550 to 8,800. All heavy-duty, dual-rear-wheel, and passenger configurations, on the other hand, are T-350 configurations. Most contractors find the T-250 to be the sweet spot, balancing capability with cost, but obviously every business is different, so it’s best to have some idea of the GVWR you need and work from there.
