2024 FORD TRANSIT 350 PASSENGER VAN

In addition to the similar Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, the Transit competes with the more truck-like Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana, as well as the front-wheel-drive Ram ProMaster. The Chevy and GMC vans are good if you’re looking for a no-nonsense, V8-powered work van with a lot of towing muscle. The ProMaster is a practical, value-conscious workhorse, but you can’t get one with more than six seats like this 2023 Ford Transit 350.

Driving the Ford Transit 350 Passenger Van

The Ford Transit is an easy van to drive despite its substantial size. We found the steering precise, the brakes responsive, and the ride quality smooth and comfortable on long-distance drives. We also noticed that Ford made it surprisingly quiet inside, even on the highway.

The standard V6 engine does the job for most drivers who need a big van, but the available EcoBoost turbocharged V6 adds significant muscle. However, towing and payload ratings aren’t significantly different between the two V6 engines.

The 10-speed automatic transmission on the gas-powered Transit models perfectly fits this van. It has four selectable drive modes: Normal, Eco, Slippery, and Tow/Haul. It’s easy to switch modes on the fly to best suit your needs and the conditions.

Versatile Interior

The inside of the Ford Transit is massive and highly customizable. Whether you’re a plumber, a flower shop, or a “van lifer,” the Transit can be customized just right with a wide variety of upfits available.

What’s behind the front seats depends on the configuration. The cargo van is just a big, empty van, the passenger van has 12 or 15 seats, depending on the length, and the crew van has one row of back seats.

Owners are impressed with how nice the front seat area is for a Ford work van. They find the seats to be supportive and comfortable for all-day driving. There’s plentiful storage space with roomy cubbies and cup holders in easy-to-reach places.

Whether for work or play, keeping your devices powered up is easy in the Transit. There’s a USB port and 12V outlet in the storage spaces, plus more outlets in the available medium or large center consoles. In the passenger van models, there’s a 5-amp USB port in every row.

Shape-Shifting Exterior

With three roof heights and three body lengths available, the look of the Ford Transit can vary quite a bit. It looks especially good in the XLT trim of the passenger van with a painted front bumper and a chrome grille surround.

Among its many available exterior features are wide-opening (253 degrees) rear cargo doors, a power sliding passenger-side door, long-arm/power-adjustable mirrors, an integral step in the rear bumper, and much more.

Favorite Features

EcoBoost V6

The optional EcoBoost turbocharged V6 makes 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque in the Transit. Whether you want a work van with some extra muscle or more excitement while driving the family to church, the EcoBoost V6 is a nice performance upgrade.

Co-Pilot360

The Ford Co-Pilot360 safety tech suite comes standard in the Transit. It bundles features like automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and automatic high beams. Safety tech like this usually costs extra or isn’t available on full-size vans.

SYNC 4

The 12-inch SYNC 4 infotainment system is a new option in the Transit for 2023. This easy-to-use screen is loaded with features like wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM, Amazon Alexa, navigation, and more.

Engine & Transmission

The standard engine in the Transit is a trusty V6 delivering a nice balance of power, capability, and efficiency. This is the most practical engine for most businesses and families. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional.

If you need extra muscle in your van, consider the punchy turbocharged EcoBoost V6. This brings a significant upgrade in performance. In most configurations, the turbo V6 can tow a bit more than the base engine.
