This van can move passengers and cargo alike thanks to a standard 3.5-liter PDFI V6 engine with a 10-Speed SelectShift® automatic transmission. More than 100 maximum cubic feet of cargo space lets you bring your band on tour along with all their equipment.

Meanwhile, innovative technology for safety such as a standard Rear View Camera provides greater awareness for the driver.
What the Critics Say
"Ford offers the Transit with a variety of roof heights and wheelbase lengths, which allows you to tailor the cabin size to fit your needs. The Transit passenger wagon seats up to 15. The van's cabin design is slick and contemporary, taking cues from the Ford Explorer, and it's quiet inside at highway speeds." — Car and Driver
"When you consider the Transit's utility capabilities, it's impressive how well it behaves on curvy roads. The power is fun, and the handling is good enough to stop you from being the guy who's holding up the line when you're going up a mountain road. The Transit is a workhorse, but its styling isn't overly boring or boxy." — Edmunds
What's New for 2023
There are just a handful of minor updates to the Ford Transit Passenger Wagon for the 2023 model year. Last year's optional 8-inch touchscreen display has been replaced with a larger 12-inch unit. In addition, this available touchscreen is now available with SYNC® 4 infotainment software featuring over-the-air software update capabilities. There's also a new camera-based rearview mirror option available for more confidence backing your van in or out of a tight space. Finally, Ford is now partnered with a larger number of third-party upfitting services that can help you customize your Transit Passenger Wagon to your exact specifications.

Groundbreaking Safety
When you purchase a passenger van, we know it's more for your occupants or cargo than anything else.
