I have the 2018 transit connect long wheel base cargo van . I am a courier so I need room, fuel efficiency, confort, and power. This van has it all. I have put 230,000 miles on it in less than 3 years. I have not had one single problem out of it. I do keep on top of scheduled maintenance. I use only full synthetic oil. I regularly load it to the 1600 lb capacity. Even fully loaded it pulls mountains at 65 mph and would go faster if I pushed it. Gas mileage is usually anywhere from 27.5 to 31 mpg. Obviously higher on long freeway trips. I do notice a small drop off in perfomance now that it has so many miles but still a great van. If all goes well it will have over 300,000 on it at the end of this year.

Be prepared for abundant harrassment by warning lights, chimes (way too loud) and occasionally the horn. The windshield pillar reinforcements cause blind spots especially dangerous to impulsive pedestrians at crosswalks. The I.M. says not to run the wipers in dry conditions, but of course this happens accidentally on account of their bizarre stalk controls. The van lurches during braking, acceleration, and on right angle turns around town. In hot weather the dashboard turns into a huge, hot radiator. In foggy or rainy weather, when backing up it is necessary to turn the headlights off in order to see the tiny backup camera screen. The steering wheel interferes with seeing most of the instruments including the speedometer The exterior lights are rigged so that they can stay on indefinitely when you open and shut doors, as for a thorough cleaning, thus threatening to discharge the battery. On the + side, it has plenty of pep which is why I think it outsells the anemic Nissan 200 although the Nissan has a better, more business-like interior. Both brands have good seats using woven material. The Ford's select shift worked well climbing 5500 feet up to Flagstaff, AZ at 70 mph. It kept going through the flooded streets of Tucson the rainy summer of 2017.

I’ve now owned this guy 5 years. It was in a dealership 3 months ago for the FIRST time, due to a ‘shift cable bushing’ recall replacement. Took them 30 minutes.in and out. I am just over 50k miles now. I have 3 vehicles. Toyota truck, Lexus GS350 and this one. I drive the van the most. It just FUN to drive. Very nimble. Quick steering. One must keep their foot in it of course…being a 4 banger. But it boogies. I consistently drive it 80-85 on freeways here in nor cal. No issues keeping up. It IS noisy. Mine LWB cargo van, empty. Purchased originally to haul music gear to gigs. When I tell people it’s noisy, they laugh….being that I’m about 1/2 deaf playing in rock bands most of my life. I’m 68 now and STILL play in rock bands. The van has been stellar for me. No real complaints. The Nissan and Ram equivalents did not compare even close to me. I would pay big money for a turbo or supercharger if someone made one. That would be one insane ride!

Features such as fold down seats are wonderful. Seats fold completely flat or you can choose to fold some down, but not others. Great for hauling Grandkids & car seats, Grandma & her walker. Lots of head room, leg room, adjustable seats/ lumbar. Not without some road noise tho. Great vehicle to drive and easy to haul whatever you buy at the rummage sales or the home stores.
Great little wheel chair hauler

My wife has Parkinson’s. We have a custom manual wheel chair for her. The low deck and roomy back (I removed the rear seats) are perfect for the chair, and for getting her in and out. The 4ft ceiling height is perfect for her chair with its head gear. The liftgate works like an awning to keep the rain off when loading and unloading. We live in the mountains of NC and it easily handles the hills and curves. It’s like a little sports car in a big box.
