I just bought a Ranger, and absolutely love it....two months and two thousand miles in...this may well be one of my favorite vehicles ever. I could see a Van like this as a stable mate for camping. Well done presentation. Thanks!
As an electrician I always had companies supply me with full size vans, even a couple of KUV body trucks. Recently the company I work for gave me a transit connect to drive because I run projects, no service work, no need for massive shelves. I love the little van, so much so I bought one today for my camping, mountain biking and fishing trips. The best part about using this as a work truck is when tasked with projects downtown (Chicago) I can park in public garages with a pipe storage box and ladders. If I have only one ladder on top I can park in my garage at home with a standard height door. Badass!
Been a part of a GM family all my life. My first car was an Equinox. The first car I get with my own money will be one of these vans, from your good explaining and just the history that the name holds. That and I just love the shape of it
I run my own business repairing dental equipment so I’m in dental offices every day. I use this van to carry all my parts tools and supplies. The big three dental companies also run these a lot
Great Video review! I know you said it has the longest cargo area in it's class, but you didn't mention what that measurement was....or maybe I missed it. Will it fit a full 4x8 sheet of plywood flat on the ground?
Great job reviewing! I love the fold flat passenger seat for fitting 12' boards in place, and for car camping table! Those comfortable seats are a step up! The Tesla has dog mode and car camping mode. Does Ford Transit connect have this? Dog mode is to adjust temp while you are in store and dog is in car. Camp mode it to periodically DEHUMIDIFY the car throughout the night by cycling on a fan and the AC with heat, because the AC has a drying effect. Thanks!
I found a little secret to the van I have the exact same model,if you have the keys out of the ignition,if you push or pull the hi beam switch a beep follows and the bright lights stay on until you push or pull the hi beam switch was really cool to find out
I just got approved for one of these today but wasn’t able to drive home yet bc I couldn’t get ahold of my insurance 🤣 have to wait till Monday but I’m super excited.
I wish FORD would offer more than a 2.0 engine. Also, they never should have quit making the Freestar. The freestar also had a lift gate, and two V-6 engines. My Freestar cargo van has hauled many heavy loads, and has been extremely reliable. I have even hauled a refrigerator in it and heavy loads of concrete. I will never part with it. I would consider a Transit Connect if they had a larger 4 or V-6 engine as a second vehicle.
I want to purchase one of these- what's the length of the cargo area from the back of the center console to the back doors? I have a Nissan NV200 that I use for work and also to transport my dirt bike. Thanks
I'm wondering if I will be feeling the road while driving. The wife wants a vehicle for city errands, yet be able to travel 6-8 hours to Disney World Orlando. She does like the Ford Edge, but I don't think it will match the cargo capacity of the Ford Transit Connect Wagon. I guess in the end test driving the two vehicles is the only way to figure this out.
I went from a 2.5L to a 2.0L and I gotta say the 2.0L barely moves. It’s so slow compared to the 2.5L even when it’s empty. I love the van but the 2.5L was just a better engine on these.
What's the difference in cargo area and cargo height in the passenger version and cargo version? Would love a dual purpose van but not sacrifice to much cargo area.
Do these have to be ordered? Every dealer I look at has only base white model with barn doors. None have blue paint, alloy wheels, rear lift gate, or apple car play like the one in this video.
@@CrisRuiz1993 The length of the cargo floor on the long wheelbase model is exactly 87.6 inches which is 7.3 ft, which is 8 to 9 inches short of being 8 ft long. An 8ft long sheet of plywood will not fit with the back doors closed. This is a major design flaw as it is very common for contractors to load 8 ft x 4 ft plywood sheets in the back of a vehicle.
That gaslift tailgate will never hold up on its own in Canadian Arctic temperatures. The cold winter air gets very dense and the gas lift drops like a brick.
For cargo loading this model is useless. A forklift can't load pallets due to rear liftgate style door. You must have the split style rear doors. Unless the rear liftgate could have gone higher so the Forklift be able to get closer to the rear.
Thanks for this video. I'm very interested in a Ford Transit Connect. Two suggestions. Hire a videographer. You could make a bunch of these videos in a one-day shoot. It wouldn't cost much divided between all the content you could make from a single day. Alternatively you could purchase a decent camera and let one of your staff take some time to learn to use it. If you go that option, I recommend variable ND filters or a click less apurture lens. That and using manual focus would highly prove your video. Lastly, why is the Mercedes Metris not included as the competition?
