2020 Ford Transit: The ultimate in versatility

Despite its massive forehead and top-heavy appearance, this commercial-grade van is better to drive and more comfortable than you'd think.

Craig Cole
Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).

In the commercial-van segment, the Ford Transit is tough to top.

The Transit is offered in three lengths and three roof heights, with two engines and two drivetrain configurations. There's a Transit for nearly every sort of customer.

The base engine is a smooth and potent 3.5-liter V6.

That bent-six cranks out 275 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, unimpressive numbers on paper but they give the Transit plenty of performance.

You can get one of these vans with either rear- or all-wheel drive, a boon for drivers in inclimate regions.

The crew model is new for 2020, giving customers loads of cargo space and enough seats to haul a few people, too.

There is no shortage of storage space in this van, from the dashboard to the overhead console to the door panels, there are cubbies and nooks everywhere.
