The redesigned 2014 Transit Connect (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/06/ford-unveils-slicker-sleeker-2014-transit-connect/) isn't the only commercial van news coming out of Ford (http://autoblog.com/ford) today. For heavy-duty haulers, the automaker has officially pulled back the cover on its larger Transit (http://autoblog.com/tag/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 (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/05/ford-transit-van-coming-to-america-as-kansas-city-built-t-series/), 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.
