2020 Ford Transit - Everything you need to know!

We are giving away the ULTIMATE F-250! Check it out! bit.ly/F250_Gi...
Today we are taking a look at the 2020 Ford Transit! This vehicle has been refreshed for 2020 and it includes a lot of new technology! For the last 40 years, Ford has been America’s best-selling full-size commercial van brand. And for 2020, the Transit family of vans is ready to meet customer needs with more configuration choices, more technology and more efficiency - all driven by customer feedback to make each Cargo Van and Passenger Van better tailored to their purpose. Changes include an all-new Crew Van model, standard Ford Co‑Pilot360 driver-assist features, available all-wheel drive, one new engine, a responsive new 10‑speed transmission, new seating options, styling changes and new technologies, such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Enhanced Active Park Assist. Transit comes into 2020 offering two powertrain choices: a new 3.5L port fuel, direct-injected (PFDI) V6 engine and an enhanced 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine. Both engines are paired with a new 10-speed automatic transmission with Selectable Drive Modes and new-for-2020 all-wheel drive is available. A new heavy-duty front axle and Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package round out the components needed to get more done. 10-Speed Automatic with Selectable Drive Modes is paired with all Transit engines. Three overdrive gears and a wide 7.4:1 gear ratio span Integrated torque converter/turbine clutch helps reduce weight, while also reducing the packaging size of the transmission High-speed, one-way clutch helps deliver smooth and responsive shifting
Engine rpm matching on coast-down shifts provides a seamless transition to lower gears - effective when cornering Integrated electric pump works with Auto Start-Stop Technology for seamless restarts Ultra-low viscosity transmission fluid and off-axis variable-displacement pump maximize transmission performance Utilizes real-time adaptive shift schedule algorithms which monitor more than a dozen powertrain- and driver-control signals to help ensure the transmission is in the right gear at the right time Progressive Range Select

Town & Country and this reviewer Mitchell consistently produce top quality video reviews. He’s an exemplary speaker. Thank You.

[@onionhead5780]

I’ve watched this video multiple times. Hands down the most informative video on this van I’ve seen. Great job and thank you. 👍👍👍

[@enzoh7763]

We second that , This is the most informative video on any vehicle we 've ever cone across, Hope he get a big bonus , and he's a keeper for his employer . Because of Mitchell, we just subscribed

Great video. I was sold on promaster, but this swayed me. “And that is something you need to know, nonetheless.”

[@alexballew]

which one did you end up getting (assuming you decided to move forward with a van)? I've been looking at both but it seems like the Transit is the move.

[@VanGoWanderlust]

@@alexballew I actually got a transit connect for my first van. 2012, which has a higher roof. I plan on building it out as a light camper for weekends. In 5 years I’m planning on moving up to a larger van.

My 2005 Mercedes Sprinter has 768kmiles on it . 2003 - 2006 only. 'OM647' "Million Mile Motor" You CANNOT find one UNDER $10K miles with UNDER 400k MILES on it!? There's a good reason they call it the only "MILLION MILE MOTOR" ever built!?

[@jefffreestone8476]

We have 75 of these Van's in our fleet. The driver seen to break off the gas doors. I have seen other Van's with this ppl problem also. Ford must know this due to part sales.

[@clemnewton9995]

I see it everyday wht kind of problems have you had we have chevy express 2500 2017 no issues but company wants to change price of ford is way more than chevy just curious

How do you like the van overall? Do you think you made a good choice going with the Ford?

[@barbrichardson9479]

Some really good insight on some of the van's features. Thank you!

[@mwinner101]

Great review. That crew setup is perfect.

[@french-9743]

We are sure that the AWD system makes this vehicle very safe, which skids as little as possible on paved roads even if they are icy, snowy. It would be good to know its off-road capabilities because among the 20% of family users, some want to use it as an RV.

[@CollectiveConsciousness1111]

Excellent presentation! Very informative.

definitely you helped me. Interested in buying a transit soon. thanks for your video!

[@JB-mp9fj]

How easy is it to remove the second row seats on the crew van? With the crew van and AWD I can see this as an alternative to a pickup truck but I’m sure there are times that the second row of seats could get in the way if you need to haul a lot or something really long

[@patrickmchargue7122]

Regarding the 20% non-commercial use, it might help if you could list builders that use the Ford as their basis for builds that they sell.

[@alexballew]

Wayfarer Vans is worth checking out.

[@jimdaniels926]

Very good demonstration! Thanks

[@southhillfarm2795]

A lot of smart options. But the one thing Mercedes does better than Ford or Ram and that is lease payments.

High roof, 4x4, remote start, upfitter switch panel like on raptor or super duties, diesel? Does the smaller transit have a turbo eco boost awd with remote start option?

[@herefishyfishy6907]

2.0l twin turbo diesel! I bet they drop that in the Ranger!

[@mattdavis9601]

You're right. It's the engine Ford uses in the Ranger Raptor for overseas markets.

ford need to learn if they wanna sell more cargo van . they need to make it easier to access cargo area... next generation needs better hand brake location and maybe a swivel seat option.

[@onionhead5780]

[@megalomaniac7972]

Can I fit a queen mattress?

[@anthonysakowski9261]

What is the camera under the driver seat for?

[@Mr74145]

I need one for wheelchair transport.

[@ironmatic1]

Bruhhh the exhaust dumps fumes on the wrong side, it should point away from the loading area. Note where the exhaust tip is on a Blue Bird bus.

[@sarahann530]

Turn it off when unloading , problem solved !

[@smallnuts2]

I want one to turn into a camper. I'll keep the back seats for friends turn the back into a bed. I'm 5'5 not sure if I need that much roof

Van crew

[@kristinejackson8268]

I still will take the e series over the trans series the e lasts longer has more towing power mine has 380 thousand miles on it and still going strong trans lasts only 150 to 170 thousands miles

[@datingsas]

Can I remove or add seats. So if I bought the crew van and I wanted to remove the 2nd row as I am not using it at that time

[@Park_Place]

You can remove it, although it's rather heavy (I think around 100 lbs). If not, just get a cargo van

[@Trigger-xw9gq]

Good review, but try to discover other words for "cool".

[@roundstone2020]

You automatically need to know I'm 6 foot three

[@nmtay]

Planning on buying a Medium Roof, Long Wheelbase Crew Van for Overlanding/Traveling/Bugging Out and putting a motorcycle and garage in the back. 🤘🏼

[@TCcustoms_]

Sounds awesome!

[@deadprivacy]

as a mechanic you should know better...these vans are shocking.

[@mattdavis9601]

Loved the video. Love this van. You and Ford both did a great job. I much prefer the forward driving position and all the glass/low beltline of a van vs. the higher hood and somewhat squinty windshields of most modern pickup trucks. The forward driving position also makes for better space utilization. My ideal vehicle would be a cab chassis Transit with a pickup bed. I haven't taken the measurements but I think Ford could probably get a "T-150" w/ 8 foot bed in the same space that a regular cab short bed F-150 takes up. They'd sell dozens of them which is probably why they'll never do it, but a man can dream, right?

[@PennsylvaniaDualSport]

Well done. Nice to know the practical height of mid roof for rolling in motorcycles and overall livability. I think I want the mid roof long AWD with the 3.5 eco boost

[@thecloneguyz]

ECOBOOST = TONS OF PROBLEMS 3.7 = VIRTUALLY TROUBLE FREE NO COMPARISON

[@gacs7424]

Good for camper van conversion

[@gailmiller7035]

Fabulous presentation! I am looking to buy a Ford Transit to live in. Although my local Ford dealerships could not answer any of my questions, you have answered all of them. Your presentation skills are right on! thank you from Campbell California :-)

[@mem5922]

Now if Ford would just make 'live-in' models like the Fiat Ducato versions made in Germany (e.g. Knaus, Adria), they would have crazy sales figures. :)

[@anthonywarren5850]

Is there an option for seats with armrests for the rear seat (at least on the door side)? In the Ford custom build configurator I see the fabric seat photo shows an armrest in the small photo but then the large interior photo does not show them. For long trips with my kids armrests would be really desirable. Would love to confirm this before ordering.

[@dancindavey1515]

We need to hear if past problems have been corrected. We can get this info from car lots.

[@popclutchco.7208]

They havent been only adding more technology over already existing problems to cover it up more or less

[@seanf5821]

You can't, because you can't ever actually touch a crew van. They don't exist on any car lots.

[@EaglesTime]

like the horrible sync connection? my 2010 bluetooth speaker has better connection than my transit

[@lkazanov]

Very nice, quick question on the crew model, is the second row seating removable and how difficult would that be? On the MB Metris it's quick detach.

[@datingsas]

I am wondering the same

[@harleyjackson5513]

Built in Kansas City, Missouri!

[@stanpritchard7436]

What you fail to mention is where the water traps are and the potential to rust and corrode easily and where the water drains directly onto the electrics. I personally would not buy a ford transit van.

[@kevinbell4922]

Any update on the transmission fluid dipstick for daily ambulance checks?

[@Ficserv01]

I'm going to buy another T250. My 2018 has the eco boost. I see that the new 2020s only have a 3.5 and a 3.5 eco boost for gas engines. That 3.5 is kind of a dog. I'm glad they still offer that eco boost cause if they didn't, I wouldn't be buying this van.

[@juanbedolla9306]

Ecoboost doesn't give problems? I'm planning to buy a 2020 ford transit 3500 extended ecoboost, in few days. Thanks

[@otresplumbing1255]

I have a 2015 and I hate the Gas cap. My pant leg always get caught on it and 4 years in the hinge snapped

[@vincent2993]

Relax

[@kurlis]

I noticed when the configurator first came out, there was a dual sliding door option but now it's gone, what happen to that option?

[@kentoloneci4396]

The Ford online configurator is limited, it is basic tool to direct you to a local Ford dealer and get you in the door. The dealership has the 'Order Guide' with all the codes. There you will see the option for a driver side slider.

[@CanadianTexaninLiguria]

Its not gone

[@scottw550]

Those Ford Transits have blind spots in the front quarters, it has a sloped windshield with solid side panels that block your vision. I used to drive one at work and poles, signs, and pedestrians used to pop up out of nowhere.

[@cdocker3070]

Be cool for cleaning crew, small family, Police and fire, it's a endless setup, but I would go with four captain seats instead...nice rig!

[@Sonic_Ox]

Nice review though. I appreciate the video. Increases my anticipation for mine.

Do you sell work van low roof 130 WB with adaptive cruise control and 8" sync 3?Here in Chicago area you will never meet this options together.

Thank you for a very informative video. This “Crew” version of this van, which is a great equipment package for families, is IMPOSSIBLE to find. I live in a huge metropolitan area (South Florida) and there isn't a single one available from any dealer or individual, new or used. One would have to be shipped from elsewhere or ordered from the factory.

[@westwasbest]

Excellent and informative video! Could you please post the website or link for the bodybuilding specifics on the transit once again!

[@Monkeyseemonkey79]

Thank you for the great video! Is the back seat in the crew van a single piece? Or is it possible to remove a portion of it? I only need a single seat (one space) in the back row - ideally just the center seat - and am wondering if the location of the factory seat mounting holes on the floor would allow me to do this?

[@TCcustoms_]

It is one solid bench.

[@Jeanettedi]

You can buy a seat to fit

[@miketooma]

It’s too bad you didn’t mention that it could be used as a mobility vehicle for the disabled. Many people looking for vans like this one for that reason, us being one of them. Thanks for the great info anyhow sir.

[@eloyo79]

How about that baby Bronco 😂

[@hansendesigns]

If only the gear shift was on the steering column and not digging into the driver’s right knee.

[@ericsson_motorsports]

The reason it's there is because it comes standard with a manual transmission, it's more difficult to redesign the dash and the steering column for the automatic shifter than to just use the same spot

[@VoIPPortland]

Been happy with my 2014 Promaster for six years now, but either an AWD Transit or a Transit Quadvan conversion to 4x4 is in my future.

[@meestirbig3083]

I've got to be the one who throws water on this vehicle. First, don't buy this van! This van is poorly engineered. And yes, you might be wondering, I do own one, a 2020 Transit with now 83,500 miles on it. I just recently had it in the shop for a tune up. Water intrusion in the cylinders. The water get in via the gutter. It allows for water to drain the wrong direction. The batteries are under the front drivers seat and it is a pain in the butt to maintain. You have to drop the rear axil to work on the rotor. This cost extra dollars. Too many things more to share with you. Just don't buy it.

[@277kne]

Why does the Transit come in extended length on the high roof only? The low and medium roof have the 14i" wb but not extended.

[@mattdavis9601]

Probably because they don't think that anyone is going to buy a shortie with the high roof and they'd never make back their investment in the tooling and crash test certification needed to offer that configuration. Just my guess.

[@277kne]
