2023 – 2024 FORD TRANSIT VAN
A commercial van like the 2023 Ford Transit isn’t typically on a driver’s radar. But it’s highly relevant and coveted by millions of fleet managers and small business owners. It is available in a variety of body designs, including a vast high-roof extended model with plenty of space to transport several tools, goods, or luggage. How’s that for versatility, overlanders? Ford will also start selling a vehicle that is specially equipped and makes a great platform for a campervan conversion. Both a naturally aspirated V-6 and a turbocharged Ecoboost V-6 are available in gasoline, and purchasers can opt for rear- or all-wheel drive. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and the Ram ProMaster are the Transit’s major competitors, but the Ford seems more agile than either of them. Additionally, Ford’s Sync 4 infotainment system is available with a sizable 12.0-inch display screen, and basic driver-assistance functions are standard on all Transit variants. The Ford fleet management and telematics system is the technology that fleet buyers are probably more interested in, as it improves tracking and data analysis of their army of vans.
Ford Motor Company, an American multinational automaker with its headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, was established by Henry Ford on June 16, 1903. Ford, which is renowned for developing the assembly line, has had a significant impact on the automobile industry and the American Industrial Revolution. The firm has made a variety of vehicles throughout its long history, from classics like the Model T to current SUVs, trucks, and electric cars. Ford, one of the biggest automakers in the world, emphasizes sustainability, cutting-edge technology, and design while continuing to develop and adapt to consumers’ changing needs.
What has changed for 2023?
The Transit Trail, which will be part of the portfolio in 2023, is aimed at van-life fans and features a ready-made camper foundation that can be modified to include a living area behind the front seats. All Transit Trail variants include all-terrain tyres, a raised suspension, and a more aggressive design on the outside. To make accessing remote campsites simpler, the track has been expanded and the ground clearance increased. The Transit Trail comes with the turbocharged V-6 engine and all-wheel drive as standard. If you’re not the DIY type, Ford can put you in touch with one of the many modification businesses that are popping up and will build out your ideal camper for you—of course, for a cost. A larger 12.0-inch infotainment display that uses Ford’s Sync 4 user interface, which enables over-the-air updates, has taken the place of the optional 8.0-inch one from last year’s lineup elsewhere in the lineup.
