2021 Ford Transit Review

The 2021 Ford Transit leads the market for full-size vans, offering the most versatile choices available. It's an extremely capable workhorse that delivers market-leading cab options, improved GVWR weight rating, and three new colors for 2021. Come down to Ganley Ford Barberton to see what we have for sale today.

This Is Your Guide to the 2021 Ford Transit

The Ford Transit van outclasses the competition, shown by its latest Car and Driver Editors' Choice Award. When you need a full-sized van with up to 10,360 pounds, gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), the Transit gives you the most available seating, cargo capacity, and value for your money.

Standard 16-inch-wheels provide reduced rolling resistance and durable strength on either long dirt roads or tough city streets. Ford equips the Transit with two choices of high-powered V6, backed by useful powertrain choices:

  • The PFDI naturally-aspirated 3.5-liter V6 provides 275 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque to haul the people and cargo you need to move.

  • The turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 hauls, too, delivering a surprising 310 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque.

  • Either engine choice comes with a 10-speed-automatic transmission for easy climbing.

  • Ford offers buyers the choice of rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) output, making it easy to get where you need to go.

Whether you need a rugged, hard-working cargo van or unmatched people-moving capability, there's a Ford Transit van meant for you. High-value options, like five gear ratio choices and four impressive payload ratings, work with excellent handling and a surprisingly quiet cab to get through the workday with ease.

The base Transit comes with a four-speaker sound system with Bluetooth music streaming and a Wi-Fi phone connection featuring a 4-inch multi-function screen. Optional upgrades let you increase screen size to 8 inches and add Sirius XM satellite radio. You can integrate your smartphone into the Transit's electronics system with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for remote monitoring. Use your phone for starting and stopping the engine, scheduling engine starts, locking/unlocking the vehicle, checking the fuel level, and monitoring the oil life with FordPass Connect.

Custom Tailored to Fit Your Needs

Starting at under $38,000, the 2021 Ford Transit offers extensive adaptability, empowering you to equip it for just about any job you can imagine.

With three roof heights, three lengths, and two wheelbases, the possibilities are limitless.

There's a camper option, the Adventure Prep Package, that combines privacy glass, the 3.5-liter-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, a limited-slip rear axle to get you into and out of the getaway spots, swivel seats, a heavy-duty front axle, and all-wheel drive. It's set up with dual USB ports, a power point for accessories, an 8-inch-color screen, and dual batteries. It's the perfect escape machine when it's time to leave work behind.

If you've got family members or clients with special needs, the Ford Transit can be equipped to serve them as well. High roof versions and equipment like wheelchair lifts and interior accommodations such as handrails and soft, bump sides make it easy to work with. There's a powered sliding side door to free your hands. 

Business owners who need to move large items, deliver packages, haul appliances, and other large products will appreciate the availability of an extra-long cargo compartment and an extra-tall roof that will easily handle refrigerators, compressors, toolboxes, and dollies.

If you're a craftsman or businessperson and need a real behemoth for heavyweight towing or hauling tools, the T-350 comes with dual rear wheels and a 10,360-pound-GVWR for under $44,000. You can't find a better value for this purpose anywhere on the market.
