The 2014 Ford Transit is new from the ground up, starting with the lightweight yet durable unibody construction and continuing with five wheelbases, four roof heights and four models . The models are the cargo van, the passenger wagon, the chassis cab and the cutaway. Going well beyond your typical vehicle redesign, the new Transit is a major transformation in the full-size van you’ve been accustomed to driving. Engineered to ultra-stringent Ford commercial truck standards for durability. Built to exceed what you’ve come to expect from the leader in full-size vans.

Unibody Construction
The Transit unibody is lightweight and highly durable, engineered with high-strength and boron steel.

Roof Heights
The everyday mission of the full-size commercial van is carrying lots of cargo. Now you can match multiple cargo box sizes designated in roof height – low, medium or high – to the volume or payload your job requires. Imagine a cargo volume over 490 cubic feet – and a roof tall enough to accommodate large items in an upright position. That alone says volumes about the innovative new design of the Ford Transit.

Wheelbases
Ford Transit van and wagon models come in regular (130-inch) and long (148-inch) wheelbase lengths. There’s also a long wheelbase with extended body. Chassis cab and cutaway models offer three wheelbases: 138, 156 and 178 inches. So what does this mean? More choices in load floor length for increased capacity in the cargo van and more passenger space in the wagon. The redesign has the ability to accommodate a wide range of body types and sizes in chassis cab and cutaway models.

Model Configurations
The Ford Transit is available in four models:

• The Transit van spacious and capable.
• The Transit wagon – roomy and comfortable.
• The Transit chassis cab – rugged and versatile.
• The Transit cutaway – convenient direct cab-to-body access.

From hauling cargo to transporting passengers, the Ford Transit does it all.

Transit Connect Accessibility and Seating Options
With the rear tumble seat folded forward; the vehicle’s design provides a wheelchair area of 31″ wide x 50″ in length. With the rear seat in its upright position, three full-sized adults can be transported in the rear seating area, along with the driver and another passenger in the front. This new design combines the affordability of a rear entry transport van for handicap passengers with non-wheelchair passenger capabilities, transitioning from one use to the other in less than a minute.

Money Saving Fuel Efficiency
The Ford Transit Connect delivers 22-mpg city/25 mpg highway, and is one of the most affordable wheelchair accessible vehicles we offer. How’s this for gas savings – if you average driving 200 miles per day and spend $4/gal for gas, you will save $11,345 per year vs. driving a full-size van. In just three years, the Transit Connect practically pays for itself!

So if you’re looking to save money on a great vehicle that meets your needs, and continue to provide low cost of ownership, then the Transit Connect is for you. You’ll quickly come to realize why it won “Truck of the Year” awards from multiple automotive associations and publications.

The Transit Connect provides a whole new option for wheelchair van passengers and caregivers. It’s sleek European style and ample interior space may be just what you’re looking for in today’s accessible van market.
