Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/transit/), the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/e-series/). Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
For hauling, the max payload is 4,650 pounds, a 600-pound increase over the E-Series and more than the Ford's cross-town competitors. The new Transit can also tow up to 7,500 pounds.
Regardless of how good the new trio of engines is, they all mark a substantial improvement over the old 6.8-liter V10 of the E-Series, which could only muster 10 mpg in the city and 13 mpg on the highway. The automaker has thoughtfully provided fuel-saving estimates in the press release you can find below (http://www.mnfords.com/2014/06/04/2015-ford-transit-specifications-pricing-official/#continued).
Ford has launched an full, very deep configurator for the new Transit, allowing businesses to really access the full range of customization options available in the new van. That's available on Ford's consumer page (http://bp3.ford.com/2015-Ford-TransitVanWagon?gnav=header-trucks#/Models/Style%5BCab:CAXRVA%5D). Meanwhile, keep an eye on these digital pages for our full first drive of the 2015 Transit (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/14/would-you-like-your-ford-transit-in-large-xl-or-xxl/), which should be coming quite soon.Continue reading Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/06/04/2015-ford-transit-specifications-pricing-official/)
