The 2019 Ford Transit Van will be the second version in the lineup. This is more of a working van than Connect. So, it is somehow special and for commercial use. Nevertheless, it doesn’t stop it to be versatile, with three engines in the lineup. The base unit is getting the power from a 3.7-liter V-6 drivetrain. It is capable to deliver 275 hp. Smaller but turbocharged 3.5-liter unit is more potent. Buyers that opt for this engine can count on 310 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, and better fuel economy.
The 2019 Ford Transit Van also offers a diesel powertrain. It is an inline-five mill with output of 185 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. It will also bring a much better fuel economy than 20 mpg offered by petrol units on the highway. Nevertheless, the Ford Transit Van will probably lack and AWD again.
