Used 2023 Ford Transit Passenger Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Ford Transit Passenger Van is a full-size van available in a range of configurations and with up to 15-passenger seating. Transits come with a standard or long wheelbase; a regular, long or extended body style; and a low, medium or high roof style. Choose the base Transit 150 for the standard payload rating or the Transit 350 or 350HD (with dual rear wheels) if you need more capacity.

A 3.5-liter V6 (275 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque) is standard, with a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (310 hp, 400 lb-ft) available as an option. Both engines use a 10-speed automatic transmission to direct power to the rear wheels. All-wheel drive is optionally available.

Ford offers the Transit Passenger Van in XL and XLT trim levels. Highlights of each are as follows:

  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Transit and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)

The Transit offers a few option packages that bundle features for specific purposes. They include:

  • Livery Prep package (XLT only)

  • Upfitter package

Which Transit Passenger Van trim does Edmunds recommend?

By choosing the XL trim level, you maximize your ability to configure the Transit Passenger Van to specific preferences. But if you want a nicer look inside and out, or access to a handful of exclusive features, we recommend the XLT trim level.
