There are some pretty solid vans out there looking for some TLC—you are hard-pressed to look much further than the Ford Transit van. If you are looking for a sturdy transport vehicle for your business, no need to look any further!
We have all seen the Ford Transit van cruising around under the guise of Amazon Prime and FedEx—it is a reliable, bulky, and robust vehicle. After 2019, the Ford Transit had a model update that allowed the cargo doors to open even wider and improved suspension. If you have been thinking about purchasing used vans for your next endeavor, here are some pretty strong pros to the Ford Transit.
Maximized Cargo Space
The most significant selling point of the Ford Transit is its excellent cargo space. When you buy a Transit, you are looking at nearly 487.3 cubic feet of space, which is almost unparalleled in its competitors. This space is primarily because of the high roof, making it easier for personnel to move around or stack higher products. You would expect a transport van to be uncomfortable for the driver, but the cabin is bolstered for support with a broad, cushioned bench seat.
Easy Driveability
There is a risk with driving larger vehicles in making sharp turns or experiencing a bumpy drive. However, the cargo van drives more like a truck or sedan than a vast behemoth. The Transit is well-equipped to turn into tighter spaces, with a relatively small turn space. It is an excellent vehicle for anyone who finds driving vans, like the Toyota Sienna, uncomfortable.
Adjustable Configuration for Space Utilization
The cargo space is nearly infinite in the back of the Ford Transit Cargo van—in part to space’s configuration. When choosing your van, three different roof heights and wheelbases can be adjusted for your needs. You can either opt for a low, medium, or high roof height.
You can choose a long wheelbase and extra-long wheelbase instead of a regular wheelbase. Most vans come pre-equipped in size, but rather, you can select the most optimal arrangement. Whether you plan to live out of this vehicle or use it for storage and transportation, those high ceilings are something to behold.
Impressive Engine
The Ford Transit Cargo van uses a standard 3.7-L V6 engine or a high-speed and fuel-efficient choice for a large cargo van. You can also upgrade to the five-cylinder 3.2-L turbo-diesel engine or the 3.5-L V6.
Regardless of which engine you choose, your van is going to have some get up and go. You should never have to worry about acceleration in your van. This is impressive for a van of its size, which is more top-heavy and bulky—especially with cargo loaded inside.
Smooth Driving Feel
Unlike the minivan, which is nearly indiscernible from a sedan’s drive, a van’s drive can be much shakier. However, the Ford Transit cargo van is almost comparable to that of a minivan and a sedan. It is made with a smooth ride in mind, especially for transportation needs.
