Ford offers more than just personal vehicles for their customers. They also offer a line of commercial vehicles for your business needs. The 2019 Ford Transit is available as both a cargo van and a passenger van. Whether your business requires that you transport stuff or people, there is a Transit van that is right for you.

2019 Ford Transit Power
The standard engine on the Ford Transit van is a 3.7 liter Ti-VCT V6. The variable camshaft timing of this engine helps to optimize performance delivering 275 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The available 3.5 liter EcoBoost engine utilizes direct injection to deliver 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The design of the direct injection system allows it to get as much power as is possible from every drop of fuel. The available direct injected 3.2 liter Power Stroke I-5 Turbo Diesel provides 185 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. This engine performs well in those situations where you are in stop and go situations. Courier and transport detail are two applications that work well with the Power Stroke Turbo Diesel as they often require that the vehicle be in a constant state of idling. Every engine available for the Transit is paired with a six-speed SelectShift transmission. This transmission gives you the ability to reduce how many gears you use in drive mode or to switch to manual mode and shift between gears yourself. The Transit offers a battery guard feature that is programmable. This feature is designed to help reduce the incidence of a dead battery leaving you stranded.

2019 Ford Transit Capability
When hauling cargo is your job, you want to maximize your ability to do exactly that. The Ford Transit van offers a choice of two different wheelbases, three heights and three different lengths to help you efficiently haul what you need to haul. The Transit Cargo van offers features to make towing easier, and it has a maximum towing capacity of up to 7500 pounds. The Transit can handle payloads of up to 4640 pounds, and has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating that ranges from 8600 pounds to 10,360 pounds. The Transit is built with a steel unibody design which makes it both lighter than a traditional body on frame construction and strong for hauling necessary cargo. Each Transit van gets subjected to rigorous testing that is designed to mimic the extreme conditions that could be present during daily use. The tests include road tests in temperatures that range from -40 degrees up to 120 degrees.
