Although we don’t know a lot about the upcoming 2023 Ford Transit, spy photos and Ford patent filings have given us some clues about what to expect. Let’s take a closer look at this popular full-size commercial van, which will likely be available as a passenger, cargo, or crew van.
What’s new for the 2023 Ford Transit?
There appears to be a brand new Transit model in the works. It’s the Transit Trail, a commercial van that was built to weather muddy off-road paths and wintery weather. Ford announced this vehicle for the European market back in 2020, but we’ve yet to put it to good use in North America. Earlier this year, though, the blog Ford Authority caught a glimpse of this rugged new cargo van sloshing through the Detroit metro area, definitely proving its likely future in the American market. Ford hasn’t announced the details about the North American version of this van just yet, but we’re keeping an ear to the ground. Hopefully the Transit Trail will be released late this year!
Who needs the 2023 Ford Transit?
The upcoming Ford Transit is likely to once again be available in cargo, crew, and passenger forms. Shoppers will be able to choose from various roof heights and wheelbases to expand interior space as needed. And the passenger van offers a variety of seating configurations, with space for up to 15 passengers, depending on body style and configuration.
With so many options available, the upcoming 2023 Ford Transit is an excellent addition to a wide range of businesses. If your company does deliveries, the Transit cargo van can be equipped to haul just about any kind of cargo. For those in the people-hauling business, the Transit passenger van makes a great taxi. Transit crew vans provide two rows of seating and lots of cargo space, so you can balance people-hauling capabilities with equipment-hauling cargo space.
Exactly how capable is this compact commercial van?
Ford has yet to announce the specs for its upcoming Ford Transit. However, if the upcoming commercial vans are anything like the current ones, they’ll impress you with their cargo capacity and weight ratings. The current Transit can tow up to 6,900 pounds. Max payload capacity reaches 4,294 pounds.
When can I order the 2023 Ford Transit?
Unfortunately, we can’t answer this question just yet. But, since we’re as eager to learn about the new Transit as you are, we’ll update this page as soon as we hear more details about Ford’s redesigned commercial truck.
