If you’re in the market for a van that’s been built and proven for real work, then you have to look at the Ford Transit Connect. With excellent internal space and a vast range of customization options, this is the only vehicle to consider for your business.
Basics About the 2021 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van
The Ford Transit Connect line offers businesses a choice of short and long wheelbase options with comfortable seating for two. All vans come with 180° swing-out doors at the rear and dual sliding side doors for easy cargo loading and unloading.
Pricing
The base XL Cargo short wheelbase van begins at an MSRP of $24,655 and comes with a 2.0-liter gas engine and eight-speed automatic transmission.
The higher specification XLT model in long-wheelbase with the available 2.5-liter engine for more power reaches up to $28,395. Numerous options and accessory packs allow you to configure the vehicle to your business’s particular needs.
Capacity for Large Payloads
The Transit Connect offers you two different lengths so it can cope with all your cargo requirements while remaining highly maneuverable in the city. If you choose the short-wheelbase vehicle, you’ll be able to carry 1,510 pounds in a rear space that allows up to 104.8 cubic feet.
The long-wheelbase option gives you space for 127.4 cubic feet of cargo with a maximum weight of 1,550 pounds. Extra cargo-carrying volume can be gained by folding down the front passenger seat.
Two Trim Choices
The XL model comes with an excellent line-up of standard features, including front collision warning with automatic emergency braking, automatic engine stop/start to improve fuel economy, and automatic headlamps.
The higher specification XLT takes the standard XL features and adds on Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 system, blind-spot detection, cross-traffic alert, SYNC 3 infotainment system with touch screen, and wireless charging for your smartphone.
Towing Options
The available towing package adds a trailer tow hitch and trailer sway control to your van with a maximum of 2,000 pounds of capacity.
An available rear-view camera makes hitching your trailer easy and safe and is an excellent option to add if you’re frequently hauling extra gear.
In-Vehicle Information and Entertainment
The XL comes with an AM/FM Radio with Bluetooth functionality to connect your smartphone so you can play your favorite music through the four front speakers. There’s a 4.2” LCD screen and a USB charging port to keep your device powered on the move.
The available SYNC3, which is standard on the XLT, is an intelligent touch and voice-controlled system that can include smart navigation. It’s also Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible, so you’ll be able to access all your communication, navigation, and entertainment apps.
