Pros
- Compact yet practical size for a van
- Offers a wide range of standard and optional driver assist features
- Comes in a variety of configurations
Cons
- Engine does not have an overabundance of power
- Standard cargo capacity falls short of rivals
- Lackluster maximum payload rating
What's new
- 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine no longer available
- Flex-fuel, compressed natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas options dropped
- Heavy-duty battery upgrade canceled
- Part of the second Transit Connect generation introduced for 2014
Overview
The writing, as they say, is on the wall. Ford will reportedly discontinue the Transit Connect Cargo van after the 2023 model year. Most rivals have already fled the segment, and Ford is restricting powertrain choices this year. That suggests the end is nigh.

While the automaker hasn't officially confirmed the Transit Connect's impending death, the small commercial van market is shrinking fast. Chevrolet, Nissan and Ram have discontinued their entries, and Mercedes-Benz has decided to drop the Metris model at the end of 2023. So if you want a smaller and more affordable brand-new cargo van for business or #vanlife, don't wait too long to get it.
For what is likely its last year on the U.S. market, the Transit Connect Cargo comes in two different lengths with two different rear door configurations, each powered by a 162-horsepower four-cylinder engine driving the front wheels. In long-wheelbase format, it can hold up to 127.4 cubic feet of cargo behind the front seats and carry as much as 1,550 pounds of payload. With the optional towing package, the maximum trailer rating is 2,000 pounds. These figures pale in comparison to those of the turbocharged Mercedes Metris, but the Ford also costs thousands less.
As long as these shortcomings won't impact your needs for a cargo van and you want a small van instead of a large one, the Transit Connect makes sense. Besides, other than the Mercedes, it is now the only game in town.
2023 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van trim level differences
Ford offers the 2023 Transit Connect Cargo with a short or a long wheelbase and in XL and XLT trim levels. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (162 horsepower, 144 lb-ft) powers the front wheels using an eight-speed automatic transmission. Compare the 2023 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van trim levels in-depth.
Which Transit Connect Cargo Van trim does Edmunds recommend?
It costs a couple of grand more, but we think upgrading to the XLT trim is worthwhile. The extra money pays for standard cloth seats, carpeting, a better infotainment system and more safety features. The result is a Transit Connect Cargo van that you might not mind driving every day.

I thought this little van would be cheap and underpowered. Nope! I love my new Ford Transit Connect XLT Van. The power is amazing and unexpected. It has a class 3 hitch and heavy duty suspension towing package. It handles like it is on rails. Has good ergonomics. Easily read dash instrumentation. I pull a flat bed Harbor Freight trailer and a Stinger motorcycle trailer with motorcycle. … Not at the same time. Lol! Overall average mileage is mid to high 20's. About 30 with no trailer on 2 lane highways.
