Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van PERFORMANCE

Unsurpased Towing Capability

When the task at hand calls for towing, the Transit Connect comes through with an unsurpassed* towing capacity of up to 2,000 lbs. when equipped with the Trailer Tow Prep Package. Among the included features is Trailer Sway Control (TSC) linked to the technology of the standard AdvanceTrac^® with RSC^® (Roll Stability Control^™).

*Class is Small Vans based on Ford segmentation.

2.5L iVCT I-4 Engine

The 2.5L iVCT engine delivers power ratings of 169 horsepower, 171 lb.-ft. of torque,*and features computer-controlled intake variable cam timing (iVCT). iVCT varies the cam timing across the entire power band to match the driving condition, optimizing power and fuel efficiency** from low-end acceleration to high-end cruising. The 2.5L offers a CNG/Propane Gaseous Engine Prep Package† that converts use of regular gasoline to either compressed natural gas (CNG) or propane autogas.

* Horsepower and torque ratings achieved with 93 octane fuel.
** EPA-estimated rating of 20 city/27 hwy/23 combined (van); 19 city/27 hwy/22 combined (passenger wagon). Actual mileage will vary.
†Package includes hardened engine intake valves, hardened engine valve seats and hardened engine exhaust valves.

6-Speed Selectshift^®

The 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission has wide-ratio gearing for responsive low-end performance and high-end efficiency. Plus convenient SelectShift and Tow/Haul uses SelectShift mode where Progressive Range Select limits the range of gears while in Drive to lock out overdrive for consistent speed over hilly terrain. Full Manual with a toggle switch on the knob lets you shift up and down the gearbox, like operating a manual but without the clutch. In the Tow/Haul mode, on an uphill, it selects the gear that minimizes gear hunting. On a downhill, it keeps the vehicle from upshifting and gaining speed, reducing reliance on braking to slow down.

Maneuverability

The Transit Connect Passenger Wagon, especially the short-wheelbase model, is a natural when maneuvering into small parking spots or navigating tight spaces. The short-wheelbase models have a best-in-class 36.1 feet curb-to-curb turning diameter,* while the long-wheelbase model has a turning diameter of 40.0 feet.

*Class is Small Vans based on Ford segmentation

Advancetrac^® With RSC^®

Standard AdvanceTrac^® with Roll Stability Control^™ (RSC^® ) uses two gyroscopic sensors monitoring yaw and roll rates, helping you maintain control whenever it detects wheelslip, understeer, oversteer or roll motion. It also helps maintain control on road conditions such as ice, gravel or rain. AdvanceTrac with RSC also features Curve Control, which slows the vehicle down when it senses that it’s going too fast for a particular curve—plus Trailer Sway Control, included in the Trailer Tow Prep Package.

Quality

Efforts to minimize noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) helped create a comfortable riding environment. For instance, the camshaft drive belt system of the 2.5L iVCT engine features a low-noise design. Individual parts were subjected to extensive vibration testing.Vehicle parts underwent extensive vibration testing under the worst road conditions and the windshield’s acoustic-laminated design reduces wind noise (XLT and Titanium passenger wagon). Also, instead of the hydraulic steering system with its belt-driven pump, Transit Connect features the quieter operation of electric power-assist steering (EPAS).

Curve Control and Torque Vectoring

When you’re approaching a curve on wet or dry pavement, standard electronic Curve Control can sense if you’re going too fast, then slow you down using throttle reduction and anti-lock braking. Once you’re into the curve, g-forces tend to transfer more traction to the outside tires than to the inside ones. Standard Torque Vectoring Control enhances that by transferring torque to the wheels that have the most grip, reducing understeer and forcing the front end to hug the inside of the curve.

Two Braking Technologies

The Transit Connect comes with two technologies you’ll find reassuring: When applied brake pedal pressure is insufficient to control a hard stopping situation, Emergency Brake Assist10 automatically supplies the amount of force needed to reduce the stopping distance. When you’re stopped on an incline, Hill Start Assist10 automatically holds the brake to help prevent backward roll while you’re going from the brake pedal to the accelerator. This is especially helpful when hauling a heavy load.

Forward and Reverse Sensing Systems

The available Forward and Reverse Sensing Systems use ultrasonic sensors in the bumpers to audibly alert you to certain objects when you’re moving forward or backing up at a slow speed. The closer you get, the quicker it beeps.

Shown with optional equipment.

Rear View Camera

The maneuverable Transit Connect is designed to work efficiently in tight places, especially when you’re making deliveries in congested areas. So the available rear view camera is a feature you won’t want to be without. When you shift into Reverse, it displays a video image of what’s behind your vehicle in the screen on the center stack. It also provides guidelines to help you align your vehicle trailer hitch with the trailer’s hitch receiver. The rearview camera is available with select entertainment systems.

MYKEY^®

With personalized settings for two keys, this available smart technology lets you limit top speed to 65, 70, 75 or 80 mph as well as select speed alert chimes at 45, 55 or 65 mph. You can also limit the radio volume to 45 percent and set the Belt-Minder^® to chime, while muting the audio system, until the safety belt is buckled.

Airbags

All Transit Connect models are equipped with front- and side-impact airbags for the driver and front passenger. And the Safety Canopy^® System with side-curtain airbags and rollover sensor helps protect front seat occupants, as well as passenger wagon rear seat outboard occupants. Located in the roof side rail behind the headliner, the side-curtain airbags are designed to stay inflated longer for added protection in a rollover or in multiple side impacts.

Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat, where available.

The 2018 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van offers a smooth and practical alternative to a full-sized van. Thanks to the standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine it is more fuel-efficient, though it's towing capacity lessens. Of the two trims available, both have the same engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. This van is a two-seater to optimize cargo space. Two wheelbases are available. The short-wheelbase offers 103.9 cubic feet of space, while the long-base provides 128.6 cubic feet. Features vary between trims, but standard ones include 16-inch steel wheels, keyless entry, cruise control, fold-flat front passenger seat, and rear parking sensors. The XLT adds upgrades such as cloth seats, a rearview camera, a CD player, fog lights, and 4.2-inch driver information display. Additional features to enhance the interior include a Sync 3 infotainment system (XLT only), front parking sensors, and blind-spot monitoring. Several optional components to spruce up the exterior include a sunroof, roof rack, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
