2020 Ford Transit - Everything you need to know!

[@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

[@maximussaurilius5583]

Hands down? YOU MEAN FINGER UP INSTEAD😁

[@Supernumerary]

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

[@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 :-)

[@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

[@VanGoWanderlust]

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.

[@alexballew]

@@VanGoWanderlust Congrats man!

[@thecloneguyz]

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!?

[@enngee312]

Thumbs up definitely on all the description/explanation on this van, it helped me big time!

[@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. :)

[@hob0cheese]

Looks amazing for vanlife!

[@gacs7424]

Good for camper van conversion

[@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

[@gooseabuse]

Wow very informative video, been looking at minivans for my growing family and this looks like a serious vehicle.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@PresidentBust]

I enjoyed this video alot. Learned alot., Very grateful. Thanks from ireland!

[@barbrichardson9479]

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

[@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.

[@d1top]

Love the presentation. It will help me make informed decision.

[@mwinner101]

Great review. That crew setup is perfect.

[@kevinbell4922]

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

[@rangerider51]

I have a 2017 Ford Transit 350 mid roof. It has a 12 volt plug in at the far rear-right next to the passenger side of the rear door. Does the 2020 models have this on the rear? Also someone mentioned they would rather have the Mercedes sprinter van. The problem with that is if you break down in the middle of nowhere, where do you get them fixed? Someone said you might have to have it towed hundreds of miles. With the Ford’s you can go just about anywhere to have it fixed. Thanks for the great video. I live in the Pacific Northwest.

[@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

[@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

[@Myfriendwaits]

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

[@yomamalisa]

I absolutely love your videos! I am a car sales woman at a Ford dealership in northern California! I absolutely love my job and I would love to do videos like you do! I have a KZbin channel but I don’t know how to make it go as wild as yours! Keep up the great work I learn a lot from you! 🙋🏻‍♀️🚘🙋🏻‍♀️🚘🙋🏻‍♀️🚘🙋🏻‍♀️🚘

[@nestogonzo1]

Most informative ever, thanks!

[@lass-inangeles7564]

This was a very very thorough tour of the very very new Ford van and I'm very very happy to have seen it. Take very very good care of your very very nice van.

Thanks for posting......very informative

[@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

[@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.

[@garrickcheng8566]

Please explain how are the dual battery works on the Transit? Can we plug a mini refrigerator on the Transit when the van is not running? Will it kill the battery that van will not start the next morning?

[@westwasbest]

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

[@kennethwhitney4737]

That was a great presentation. What estimate on mileage between diesel or gas? I’m wondering if Ford has fixed the wheel, axle, break problem on past transit? I want to build a class B RV, using the Ford Transit.

[@yellowzx7r]

Stay as far as possible from their garbage diesel, I have one and it’s been a nightmare from the first few months

[@alexballew]

Dude. This van is amazing.

[@unknowperson]

i like the cargo lights make easier to secure the load at night.

[@harleyjackson5513]

Built in Kansas City, Missouri!

[@robsmith6650]

Are the seats detachable?

[@gosman949]

This is exciting for those of us interested in this chassis for RV outfitters!

[@mohsenraghian210]

@Barry Boppins Why? Elaborate please.

@@mohsenraghian210 marketing, like in the video you just watched,

[@michaelsattely8199]

@Barry Boppins I have a 2016 mid-roof passenger and live in the Northeast and the only one of those problems I have encountered is the seat being a bit uncomfortable on long trips, of which I've done plenty. And the headrest is next to useless for me at nap time. But I'm 6-3 280 and I'm not complaining. And it drives like a dream on the highway. You must have a special beef with Ford for some reason.... The AC pump crapped out just recently. But it is 4.5 years old. And I have read about battery problems. Thankfully I haven't had any because it's incredibly difficult to access. There must be a better way.

[@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

[@StephPNE]

Iv had Ford transits all my life but iv got mercedes sprinter for the first time. The difference is unreal. Yes I'll get done for higher parts service ect but man the sprinter is a mean machine

[@thecloneguyz]

My 2005 Sprinter has the 'OM647' "MILLION MILE MOTOR" Only installed from 2003 - 2006 Mine has 768k miles, still pulls 24mpg daily fully loaded (Carpenter) ONLY THING I EVER HAD TO DO TO IT , Replace the PLASTIC TURBO RESONATOR TUBE with an ALUMINUM ONE!!! lol I run a BLOCK HEATER 24/7/365 and do oil changes every year. 12 - 15000 miles.

[@IMADALBASRII]

Thanks for introducing the 2020 transit I have one extended. I bought it with one key I bought one from dealer but I need to program the key by using the onboard is it remote start originally I don’t think I learn to program key need two keys or one with remote start to get the add key programed

[@enzoflores8666]

Are the three back seats detachable? And could you possibly add three additional seats back there?

[@rborroto]

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.

[@CanadianTexaninLiguria]

So order it...

[@seanf5821]

@@CanadianTexaninLiguria without seeing one first?

[@Park_Place]

@@seanf5821 Damn, I wonder what this video was about. It's just like a normal Transit with one extra row of seats, nothing super special other than that.

[@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

[@2010DLV]

More info than I received from my dealership. Excellent job. Thank you.

Can one custom order one if so how much time does it take to get it ?? Thank you very much

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.

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

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?

[@timwheeler5505]

When I first watched this, I said to myself I will wait for the diesel and power sliding door. Here we are in late 2021, still no diesel or power sliding door option for the crew van.

What is the msrp of that van? Thinking AWD and 5 passenger setup and the rest for cargo. Low roof middle size wheelbase.

Thanks. Great. Video... very helpful

[@shielduniversity419]

Your tires are small and they need replacing too often. Brakes and calipers go quick

[@gabakusa]

Mpg?

[@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

[@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.

[@BarefootViking]

How are they since the 200,000 recall?

[@Lumaport]

Hi, if I live out of state can I order a custom build and have it delivered?

[@TCcustoms_]

Yes you can! We have sold all over the country

[@popwarhomie]

I wouldn't mind having one of these in the diesel.

[@mgtowski395]

1) Timing belt is inside the engine in an oil bath. 2) It's an interference engine, e.g., when the timing belt breaks, some of the valves and pistons will smash together. 3) No 4x4 with diesel option.

[@RowynDaily]

I've seen photos of Transit that those side passenger door are instead of sliding door they get split doors, it does comes in an option too?

[@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.

[@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]

@@mattdavis9601 I was interested in a medium room extended for a RV build. The height would be a little tight for me at 5'10". Would put up insulation. And the old Dodge used to have a Maxi van. Thanks for you insightful comment.
