The redesigned 2014 Transit Connect isn’t the only commercial van news coming out of Ford today. For heavy-duty haulers, the automaker has officially pulled back the cover on its larger Transit van which will eventually replace the older-than-dirt E-Series here in the United States.
In both North America and Europe, Ford will offer the new Transit in a wide variety of body styles, incorporating both long and short wheelbases, as well as standard- and tall-roof variants. And as we’ve already learned, Ford will build the U.S.-spec Transit in Kansas City, Missouri, right alongside the F-150 pickup.
European customers will be able to choose between front-, rear-, and all-wheel-drive versions of the Transit, powered by Ford’s 2.2-liter Duratorq TDCi diesel inline-four. In the United States, however, only rear-wheel drive will be offered, though in addition to “powerful diesel option,” we’ll be able to spec our Transit models with Ford’s tried-and-true 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6.
Like the smaller Transit Connect, Ford will launch the big daddy Transit near the end of 2013. Read the full details in the press release below.Continue reading 2014 Ford Transit offers big utility with EcoBoost and diesel power
