The new Ford Transit replaces the long-running E-Series vans in the US market. Available in two different wheelbase lengths, 3 different body lengths and three roof heights, there are six different sizes available. The smallest of these configurations is roughly the same size as the old E-Series vans with the larger sizes equaling those of the large Sprinter vans. A switch to unibody construction, gives the Transit a low load floor which will make loading cargo and passengers easier. Ford plans a variety of powertrains for the Transit including a 3.7l V6, a 3.5l turbocharged V6, and a 3.2l diesel, each more fuel efficient than the large displacement engines of prior vans.
