Ford Transit

Want some more from your mini van, try Ford Transit

For those who are business men and travel a lot with heavy equipment or other products a van is very suitable. But owning a mini van is not at all boring or limited to one or two trims now days. Especially when you are talking about Ford Transit, there are a lot of body and roof choices for the buyer. Ford Transit is a success these days and without doubt a standard setter, which means that it is among the toppers in this category. In the year 2017, Ford Transit has seen fewer upgrades as compare to last year. There are two key trim levels which further extend to give more models. One is the Transit Base and the other is Transit Trend.

In one point of view, there can be a hundred of ways to order a Transit, which means that this car is this much flexible that you can personalize it in many ways and still it will remain a perfect load carrier. Still there are others that can be more appropriate in the category, but with this much flexibility, only Ford Transit can be the one that lives up to the standard.

Engine Choices:

All Transit vans are rear wheel drive with six-speed automatic transmission with manual transmission option. The base engine in the 2017 Transit is a 3.7-Litre engine with 275hp.

The other ones in the upgraded line-up include a turbocharged 3.2-Litre five-cylinder diesel engine which gives off 185hp and a 3.5-Litre V6 which produces 310hp. CNG option is also available for the 3.7-Litre range. Apart from these the range topper 168bhp with excellent performance and the best seller 128bhp are among the most loveable.

What the Driver Gets:

It is one of the rides that are presented with superb refinement. The engine noise and suspension are well taken care of. Ford proves itself the leader in refinement section especially when it comes to vans which are considered as rough driving machines. For the driver there are remarkable controls and assisting features present. The steering wheel itself is commendable that makes the vehicle light weight and quick in response. The suspension supports the driver in any way with its well-oiled performance. The gear box gives a little problem but when on fast roads every feature of the van supports its performance.

Interior and Load Capacity:

The interior of New Ford Transit range is solid and built to last long. As a load carrier it should have been practical and solid, which is the main target of Ford for Transit. There are alterations for roof height and wheel base that further extends the space inside for a more suitable choice.

There is a 4-inch central display screen with lots of buttons in the bottom for functions which were considered to be fitting in a saloon or tour range. This indicate that how much these vans have advanced and made suitable in the advanced age. Load capacity varies with models but one thing is present for sure, which is the performance any engine of Transit offers by keeping in the load capacity of a specific model.
