The 2022 Ford Transit is a very versatile commercial van, designed to accommodate a wide range of business needs. Whether you need a cargo van with a huge amount of hauling space, a crew van with both extra passenger and cargo space, or a 15-passenger van for your airport taxi service, there is a Transit model that will help keep your company running.
What are the 2022 Ford Transit Cargo Van configurations?
The new Ford Transit offers what are essentially two types of commercial cargo van, the Cargo Van and the Crew Van. Inside the Cargo Van, you’ll find two front seats for driver and passenger, and an empty cabin reserved for your cargo items. The Crew Van was built to haul both cargo and a few extra crewmates, with three second-row seats and a total passenger capacity of five.
Both the Transit Cargo Van and Crew Van offer three roof heights: low, medium, and high. There are also two wheelbases, regular and long. With a higher roof and longer wheelbase, the Transit Van provides extra interior space for your cargo items.
With its most spacious configuration, the Cargo Van offers 487.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats, making it the best choice for companies with major hauling needs. The Crew Van with the high roof and the long wheelbase offers 383.8 cubic feet of cargo space for your company goods.
There are also a variety of Transit weight ratings: the T-150, T-250, T-350, and T-350HD DRW. Each can haul more weight than the last, with the T-350 heavy-duty, dual-rear-wheel model lending the most muscle.
How can I configure the 2022 Ford Transit Passenger Van?
Just like the Cargo Van, the Transit Passenger Van is available with two wheelbases (regular or long) and three roof heights (low, medium, or high). These options create greater interior space for your clients. You can configure your Transit Passenger Van to host a total of eight, 10, 12, 14, or 15 passengers, depending on which body style you select.
The Passenger Van is also available in two trim levels, the base XL and mid-grade XLT. The XL is outfitted with all the basics, including air conditioning and cloth seating. The XL is also nicely stocked with driver safety aids, including automatic emergency braking and a lane-keeping system. If you want, you can upgrade your XL with the optional SYNC 4 infotainment system, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The mid-grade XLT is a little swankier, with full-length carpeted flooring. Standard fog lights and blind-spot monitoring create a safer drive. The XLT also offers optional SYNC 4 infotainment and optional built-in navigation.
How does the 2022 Ford Transit drive? How much weight can it tow and haul?
The Ford Transit might be a big commercial van, but it’s quick to get going, thanks to its powerful engine options:
- Standard 3.5L V6 (275 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque)
- Optional 3.5L turbocharged V6 (310 hp, 400 lb-ft)
Both are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and those extra gears are sure to help you maximize fuel economy at high speeds.
The Transit’s actual hauling capabilities vary quite a bit according to weight rating, body style, powertrain, and equipment. With its most capable setup, the Transit Cargo Van can haul up to 5,174 pounds of cargo. Crew Van payloads reach 4,294 pounds. The Passenger Van can move payloads of up to 3,494 pounds.
Tow ratings max out at 6,900 pounds. But, again, towing capabilities vary according to model and equipment.
