When you're considering a small commercial van for your Cincinnati area business, you need a reliable vehicle that'll guarantee on-time deliveries and appointments.
With the toughness of a truck and the maneuverability of a car, the 2018 Ford Transit Connect can help you meet your deadlines and stay in control.
To give Newport and Covington area drivers a better idea of what this van has to offer, Fuller Ford created this review.
Ford Transit Connect: Weight and Cargo Capacities
Whether you need to carry cargo or passengers, the Transit Connect delivers with plenty of space.
With a choice between a short and long wheelbase, the passenger van can seat five to seven people in a spacious 120.7 to 166 cubic feet of total passenger volume.
If you need to open the back, fold the second- and third-row seats down to access 77.1 to 104.2 cubic feet of total cargo volume, with 46.9 to 58.9 cubic feet behind the second row, and up to 19.8 cubic feet behind the third row.
The cargo van offers even more space, with a total cargo volume of 124.3 to 149 cubic feet with the front passenger seat folded down.
As for how much weight can fit in that space, this van can accommodate a payload of 1,270 to 1,610, so go ahead and pack heavy.
Remote Control
When you send the 2018 Ford Transit Connect out on the job, you'll feel confident and in control of your fleet, even from a distance.
With available Ford Telematics™ powered by Telogis®, you'll have complete visibility of your vehicle operations with easy-to-use dashboards, reports, and real-time alerts. The result is smarter fleet management and more cost-efficient driving.
You'll also have the standard Ford MyKey® feature to set top speed limits, radio volume restrictions, and activate Belt-Minder® to ensure everyone's buckled in safely before taking off. This allows you to decrease liability while your van is out on the road.
Customizing Your Transit Connect
As the owner of a Ford Transit Connect, you have the ability to customize it to your exact needs. The large side panels allow you to display your company logo on the van's exterior, so it can act as a mobile business card.
You can choose between pre-set templates or create your own graphic and have your vision professionally designed and installed.
The Transit Connect is also upfit-ready, with different available packages that'll satisfy any business, so you get the exact van you need for the job at hand. Upfit options are perfect for the following industries:
- Catering
- Electrical
- Plumbing
- General Contracting
- Heating and Cooling
If you're toting passengers, consider also checking out the Taxi package, which creates increased second-row legroom and adds a rear-seat climate control unit, among other useful upgrades.
