When it comes to working vans, the Ford Transit has long been the tradesman's choice. Its spectacular size, rugged engine, and tons of handy features make it perfect for the modern tradesman, and Ford has constantly improved it over the years to keep it practical in the modern world. This year, Ford has released a new Transit, and, with loads of exciting new features, it's certainly the best one yet.
3 Key Specs and Features of the 2023 Ford Transit-250
Modern Driver-Assist Technologies
Pre-collision assist senses the road ahead with front-mounted cameras and keeps an eye out for potential collisions, then automatic emergency braking will kick in if your Transit senses any potential dangers, whether from pedestrians or other cars.
Not only does this new suite of tech help keep you safe on the road, but it also helps you when you pick up trailers, too. Using rear-mounted cameras that are automatically activated in reverse gear, this system projects an image of what's behind you directly into the cabin, with extra markings helping keep you perfectly straight as you back up to hitch a trailer.
Useful Tech for Work
When you purchase a new Transit, you'll get access to Ford Pro Telematics, a new system designed to monitor your entire fleet of work vans. All new Transits come with monitors as standard, and you can also purchase simple plug-in devices that work in all other vans. This system helps you track your workers and monitor their productivity, while also informing you of problems with each vehicle.
The new Transit also comes with an optional built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, making it easy to track your workforce and also making it possible to do any admin work on the go.
Huge and Versatile
Its size has always been one of the best aspects of the Transit. With tons of space to fit racks, it's perfect for any tradesman, as you can easily and sensibly store all of your tools and work equipment. What's more, the rear of the Transit can be modified and altered with extra seating to accommodate up to 15 people.
The Transit has been with us for more than 50 years now, and it has remained America's most loved van ever since. With all these new features on the new Transit, this model looks set to continue in the footsteps of its predecessors as the best working van in the USA.
