With its city-friendly dimensions and upfitting options, the 2022 Ford Transit Connect is a favorite among downtown businesses. It’s available as a Cargo Van or Passenger Wagon. If you want, you can even use one of these commercial vans as a thrifty stand-in for a minivan. Let’s take a look at everything the Transit Connect can do for you.
How much is the 2022 Ford Transit Connect?
If you’re shopping for a Transit Connect Cargo Van, these models start at $25,175. Passenger Wagons are slightly more expensive, starting at $27,920. The price of your Ford Transit Connect may vary, depending on trim level and equipment.
What’s under the hood? Can the 2022 Ford Transit Connect tow?
The latest version of the Transit Connect offers two engine options:
- Standard turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine (162 hp, 144 lb-ft)
- Optional 2.5L four-cylinder engine (169 hp, 171 lb-ft)
The standard turbocharged engine comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission, helping the Transit Connect earn up to 26 mpg combined (24 city/28 highway). The optional four-cylinder engine, which is only available for fleet shoppers, uses a six-speed automatic transmission.
Depending on how you configure this compact commercial van, you can haul up to 1,570 pounds’ worth of cargo. Max tow ratings reach 2,000 pounds.
