If you have ever had a package delivered, a pipe fixed or a wedding party shuttled to the venue, there is a good chance a Ford Transit was involved. The name has been on European roads since the 1960s, where it became so common in Britain that the van is practically a national institution. Ford brought the full-size Transit to North America for the 2015 model year as the replacement for the aging E-Series van, and it quickly became one of the most popular commercial vans on the continent.
The Transit's success comes from choice. It is offered in multiple roof heights, wheelbases and body styles, from cargo vans and passenger wagons to cutaway and chassis-cab versions that become ambulances, shuttle buses and box trucks. All-wheel drive and the Trail model have made it a favorite base for camper-van builders who want something less precious than a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The E-Transit brought battery-electric power to urban delivery fleets, trading long range for low running costs on short routes.
Its rivals are the Sprinter, the Ram ProMaster, the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana, and in Europe a long list of vans from Renault, Volkswagen and Stellantis brands. Ford's European lineup extends the family with the mid-size Transit Custom, the compact Transit Courier and the Tourneo passenger versions. Because so many Transits work for fleets, recalls, software updates and upfitter news matter to businesses as much as to individual owners.
For a van, the Transit generates a surprising amount of news. Ford Pro's commercial-vehicle announcements, electric-van updates and software features matter to fleet managers, while upfitters and camper-van builders turn the Transit into everything from mobile workshops to two-story motorhomes. Recall notices and reliability reports carry real weight for businesses that depend on uptime, and long-term stories of vans that rack up hundreds of thousands of miles show what this workhorse is actually capable of doing.
The van that keeps tradespeople, couriers and camper-van builders moving, with the electric E-Transit and a European family of smaller Transits.
