Ford Transit vs Transit Connect vs Wagon

Ford Transit vs Transit Connect vs Wagon

Here at Andy Mohr Ford, lots of our Indiana customers have been asking us about the many different Ford commercial vehicles: The Ford Transit, the Ford Transit Connect, and the Ford Transit Wagons.

  • The 2019 Ford Transit is a cargo van that gives you and your business the capability of hauling a max payload of 3,680 pounds and towing a max load of 5,400 pounds (when it’s properly equipped).
  • The 2019 Ford Transit Connect offers five different models, including the 2019 Ford Transit Connect Commercial XL Cargo Van, the 2019 Ford Transit Connect Commercial XLT Cargo Van, the 2019 Ford Transit Connect Commercial XL Passenger Wagon, the 2019 Ford Transit Connect Commercial XLT Passenger Wagon, and the 2019 Ford Transit Connect Commercial Titanium Passenger Wagon. These are slightly smaller and more agile than the 2019 Ford Transit above.
  • The 2019 Ford Transit Wagons are the Transit and Transit Connect trims that are designed to transport loads of passengers rather than loads of stuff or equipment.

Any of these models would be great for the drivers around Plainfield, Avon, and Indianapolis, but it all depends on your needs. Ask yourself what you’d be using it for, and then get in touch with us today!

Then, you’ve got the Ford Transit Connect Van and the Ford Transit Connect Wagon, which are basically smaller, more versatile versions of the flagship models that we mentioned above.

For example, the Ford Transit Connect XL Cargo Van (one of the five trim levels that we mentioned in the introduction) has a max cargo volume of up to 104.2 cubic feet (with the second-row seats down), coupled with a curb-to-curb turning diameter of merely 36.1 feet, at its shortest.

For another example, the Ford Transit Connect XL Passenger Wagon can give you seating for up to seven people while still sporting that same impressive turning diameter that’ll help you out in the city.

On top of this, the Ford Transit Connect XL models can standardly achieve an EPA-estimated 19 city/27 highway MPG.1
