The Ford Transit goes beyond the ability to choose the physical build of your vehicle. You can custom-tailor the interior to fit your specific lifestyle and work needs. A heavy-duty floor can be optionally added to help keep the interior clean and undamaged by heavy materials like bags of cement or rocks for contractors.
Another optional configuration is Fixed Shelving. Multi-level built-in shelves can be added to either the driver or passenger side. Contractors who need various electrical and plumbing tools can add shelves throughout the interior for maximum storage and organization to help streamline the workday.
Finally, an optional sliding passenger-side door makes loading and unloading the cargo area easy, especially when your hands are full of HVAC materials.
Buckle up for a ride that defies expectations—where the impossible becomes routine. With the Ford Transit, your high standards are met and exceeded.
When you think of the Ford brand, you conjure images of durable, high-octane machines that never shy away from a challenge. We’re happy to say this legendary Ford capability is infused into every aspect of the Ford Transit, making it just as potent and capable as its cousins.
When properly equipped, the Transit can tow up to 6,900 pounds. Whether pulling a trailer full of landscaping equipment or a portable cement mixer, this model offers precisely what you need. If you prefer to keep gear stored inside the van, you’ll love that the Transit has a maximum payload capacity of 5,110 pounds.
Life is full of ups and downs, but with the Ford Transit as your on-road companion, you know every adventure will be smooth sailing. Check out some optional features and specs that ensure you’re always moving forward:

For the ultimate comfort ride, select the available 10-way power-adjustable and heated front seats to cradle your body and provide a hot stone massage feeling to help erase tension from the day.
