There are no surprises.
Ford has stopped selling all other car models in the U.S. and is now focusing on crossovers, SUVs and trucks. It makes perfect sense for the automaker, to give its large transit van a new face. Ford’s R&D center in Dearborn, Michigan was captured by spy photographers.
Ford has made minimal changes to the 2019 Transit. It’s about as minimal as it gets for a facelift. The 2019 Transit has a new front clip and a revised grille. It now has a more aggressive look than the previous model. The fog lights have been added to the bottom of the vehicle, while the headlights are updated. The bumper will now allow for the installation of radars and sensors for parking assist and cruise control functions. This is it for updates. With its large doors, the rear end is unchanged.
Under the hood, there are likely to be more important changes. The turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine will be available in the 2019 Transit. It will be paired with the 10-speed auto transmission. This will allow for better fuel economy and performance. The turbo V6 will not be the only engine option. A five-cylinder diesel and a smaller V6 will also be available for the 2019 Transit.
Its versatility is the key to the Transit’s success. Ford offers two van options: the Transit comes in two wheelbases. There are three lengths to choose from and three roof heights. Customers have the option of carrying passengers or cargo, and can also choose from three engine options. These combinations are likely to continue unchanged in the 2019 model year.
The 2019 Ford Transit is a work vehicle at its core. The updated version adds some new features to the van and gives it a new look. Additionally, the new powertrain blends more power with greater efficiency. Ford’s updates to the van are a great choice for those looking for a reliable workhorse.
