2018 Ford Transit Cargo

The 2018 Transit is Ford's full-size van, offered as a cargo van, passenger van, and chassis cab, with two roof heights and three wheelbases. It competes with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ram ProMaster, and Nissan NV in the full-size van segment. The Transit drives more like a large SUV than a traditional van, with responsive steering and a surprisingly composed ride when empty. Cargo capacity is class-leading, and the low load floor and wide rear doors make loading and unloading straightforward. Available technology includes Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment with a touchscreen, plus a rearview camera and optional blind-spot monitoring. The Cargo trim is the work-ready version of the Transit, skipping the passenger seats and window glass of the XLT and XL vans to maximize hauling space. This one has the optional 3.5L V6 making 310 horsepower, paired with a automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, which gives it strong passing power even with a full load. The Cargo van's bare vinyl floor and 180-degree rear doors make it easy to hose out and load pallets, but expect a firm ride when empty.
