4 жыл бұрынWe are giving away the ULTIMATE F-250! Check it out! bit.ly/F250_Giveaway
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

@mattdavis9601 4 жыл бұрын
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?

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.
