Far too many work vans are bare-boned beasts, suited only to carrying parcels, cargo or necessary tools and supplies. Then there’s the Ford Transit van, a welcome change from the norm. It offers all of the functionality you could want, while still capable of transporting up to seven adults in complete comfort.

Ford offers the Transit van in five trim levels and either a short- or long-wheelbase build, so you’re sure to find one that suits your needs. Cargo capacity varies depending on the wheelbase option you select, but rest assured that both have plenty of room. Short-wheelbase models boast 77.1 cubic feet of storage space when the second-row seats are folded; long-wheelbase versions feature an ample 104.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity when both the second- and third-row seats are lowered.
It’s easy to load and unload either passengers or cargo with the Transit van, thanks to standard dual sliding doors. You can also choose either a rear liftgate or cargo doors at the back of the van, to suit your tastes. The load floor height in the van is less than two feet, making it easier to transport unwieldy cargo items.
The available SYNC® 3 infotainment system offers command over music, contacts and more, by way of voice-activated technology. After all, there’s no law saying that you’re not allowed to enjoy your time behind the wheel of your work van!
