The contrasts inside reflect the ‘work’ roots of this vehicle.

Fuel economy (no EPA rating) came in at 19-mpg. The handling and ride composure were shockingly composed for such a large vehicle riding on 16-inch wheels, and the van cruises effortlessly. It is surprisingly easy to drive, with robust power on tap with the Ecoboost motor. Impressively, the Transit proved to be far more nimble than expected.

Two small manual flip-out side windows provide some extra rear air circulation on mild days.

There is a cell-phone slot next to the steering wheel plus three power sockets/USB ports reside up front-with none in the rear. That is double the beverage pockets for the rear passengers. Each corner of the dash has a large pocket, up high, there are slots in the center dash and in the doors-eight in all. Yet the wheelwell intrudes slightly so the driver’s left foot has less space than in conventional vehicles. With the cabin stretching for every inch of space, the engine is more forward than in the E-series, so no big blob between the front seats. After all, this vehicle’s creation was spurred by newer rivals like the Ram Pro, Nissan NV, and Mercedes Sprinter-which are far behind in the sales race against the versatile Transit. In sharp contrast to the family vans that populate America’s driveways, the Transit reveals its more utilitarian roots. And lacking rear wipers on those humongous dual rear doors (which open a handy 240-degrees), this van is begging for a mirror-mounted rear-view camera that operates all of the time. If you are unaccustomed to driving with your mirrors, the Transit’s tiny back-up screen will be of little assistance.

The forward cabin affords the driver a panoramic front view as well as laterally to each side. If you’ve recently traveled and your rent-a-car shuttle was an old E-series bus that rolled, rocked, and rattled, know that this Transit behaves nothing like that. Unlike the former Econoline vans, the Transit is quiet. The view out is elevated and expansive through large tinted privacy glass, with ample head-room for access. Behind the forward cabin, the second row has three seats, the third row has 2+1 seats with a pass-through to the four passenger fourth-row seats. Slide the large right side door open (no power assist and no left side door available) and the vastness of the Transit is immediately apparent. For further perspective, the Transit is the box that your normal minivan comes in. While nothing says you’ve arrived quite like a standard back-up beeper, it is clear that this passenger van is not fitting in your standard garage opening. Cab width is 81-inches-plus 18-inch wide mirrors on each side. Our XLT-trimmed Hi-roof van measured 235.5-inches long on a 147-inch wheelbase, while standing over 99-inches tall. Cargo van versions are similarly defined, with maximum tow ratings of 5,400-pounds plus payload capacities up to 3,680-pounds. of peak torque, as well as optional CNG or propane fuel systems. Still a rear-drive layout, the Transit comes in two wheelbase lengths, three roof-height layouts (standard, mid-roof, hi-roof), uses four passenger layouts (8, 10, 12, or 15-passenger), comes with single rear wheels or dual-rear wheels, can be powered by a 275-hp V-6 or a 310-hp Ecoboost V-6 that has 400-lb./ft.

The Transit series replaced the venerable Ford E-series of vans in 2015. Perhaps airport shuttle bus? Commuter bus? Senior center bus? Mini school bus? The Transit Hi-Roof passenger van is all of those and much more. How else would those less resourceful observers describe a 12-passenger van that can also carry all of their gear? To those critics, the Ford Transit is by extension the ‘soccer team mom’s’ car. The practical, roomy, versatile, family van has been wrongly stigmatized with the moniker ‘soccer mom’s’ car.
