2021 Ford Transit Connect Trims Comparison
2021 Transit Connect trim level differences
The 2021 Ford Transit Connect is available in both cargo and passenger configurations in three trim levels: XL, XLT and Titanium. Two four-cylinder gas engines are available: a 2.0-liter (162 horsepower, 144 lb-ft) and a 2.5-liter (169 hp, 177 lb-ft), though the latter is only available to fleet customers.
Which 2021 Transit Connect trim does Edmunds recommend?
The base XL model offers a lot of versatility for the money, but we suggest stepping up to the midlevel XLT. It brings more standard features, such as the Ford Co-Pilot360 driver assist tech, and opens up the number of optional features you can choose from.
