Ford Transit Connect Does Your Heavy Lifting

The Ford Transit Connect may be the most eye-catching vehicle in the Ford lineup. The design is unique, but it’s either hideous or futuristic depending on how you choose to see it. Regardless, the Transit Connect is not about style, but rather about function and its utility.

Thanks to its high roof, the Ford Transit Connect can provide up to five passengers with ample room, or it can make hauling cargo an extremely simple task. For a small business, the large cargo doors help make the Transit Connect more accessible than other vans.

Unlike the similarly styled, but much larger, Dodge Sprinter van, the Ford Transit Connect seems to be the perfect size for the large family or for the small business than has ample cargo carrying needs. Hillside Ford says that its odd design is also useful in terms of its visibility and interior light.

Even though the Ford Transit Connect is a utility type of vehicle, it still manages to earn a respectable 22 miles per gallon city and 25 mpg highway which Ithaca Ford dealers say is attributed to its practical 2.0-liter Duratec four cylinder engine, which produces 136 horsepower and 128 lb ft of torque.

With a base price of $21,475, the Ford Transit Connect offers a great value for such as versatile commercial vehicle. The Transit Connect may not be the prettiest vehicle on the road, but it has incredible functionality and a fresh design. If you need a vehicle that can haul your growing family, handle your mobile business needs, or just haul of few surfboards, the Ford Transit Connect should certainly be on your list.
