2020 Ford Transit

Is the 2020 Ford Transit the right truck for your work?

Full-size cargo and passenger van in three roof heights and three lengths.

Trades that need to stand up inside the van and want organised shelving. The High Roof is the reason most plumbing and electrical fleets pick a Transit over a pickup.

Typical specifications

Ranges across common configurations of this model. The figures for any individual vehicle depend on its cab, wheelbase, drivetrain and upfit.

GVWR

8,670–10,360 lbs

Payload

3,100–4,640 lbs

Towing

4,700–7,500 lbs

Cargo volume

246–487 cu ft

These are model ranges, not a specific truck. Payload in particular varies by well over 1,000 lbs across configurations. Always confirm against the door-jamb sticker and the manufacturer documentation for the exact vehicle before you buy or load it.

Configurations to choose between

• T-150 / T-250 / T-350 series
• Low, Medium and High Roof
• Regular, Long and Extended wheelbase
• Cargo, Crew, Passenger and Cutaway

What buyers get wrong

Payload varies by more than 1,500 lbs across the series. A T-150 High Roof loaded with shelving, a partition and a full parts inventory can run out of payload faster than buyers expect — check the door-jamb sticker on the specific van, not the brochure.
