Have you ever looked at a Ford Transit and thought to yourself, “Damn, if it had side windows and alloy wheels, I’d definitely buy one”? No, me neither. But Ford is betting that enough people have thought that before, so they’re producing a civilian version of the tranitional work van.
On top of windows and alloys, the civilian Transit (actually called the Transit XLT) will also come with fog lights, a painted grille and will be a five seater only. That means there will be massive amounts of cargo room in the back. And with a rating of 9L /100 kms highway, it will be decently efficient as well.
So huge amounts of cargo room, head room, great gas mileage, very maneouverable and European looks. Maybe making a version available to the public isn’t a bad idea afterall. It certainly makes a great alternative to most full-size SUV’s.
