Which Transit Van does Edmunds recommend?
There's only one trim level, so picking a Transit comes down to the style and configuration that meets your needs. How bulky and heavy are your loads, and could walking around inside be helpful to you? Make sure to at least examine all your body options and sample the various engines to know that you're making an informed decision.

Driving
The Transit is much easier to drive and far less trucklike than past work vans. The steering is responsive, there's a relatively tight turning circle, and even the ride is much better. The base V6 offers respectable power, but gasoline and diesel upgrades could be worth a try for bigger jobs.
Comfort
Seating is comfortable enough for a work van, and plenty of creature comforts are available. We've also found the Ford Transit to be relatively quiet for a work van, and its ride is less trucklike — though don't expect minivan levels of plushness.
Interior
The Transit has a much lower step-in height than old-style work vans. Taller roof heights also make it possible to walk upright in the cargo area — not possible in the GM vans. The driving position affords an expansive view of the road ahead, and the standard rearview camera is appreciated.
Utility
No American-brand work van can match the Transit. The most spacious combination allows for 487.3 cubic feet, 20 more than Ram ProMaster and 200 more than GM's vans. Other combinations are comparably huge. Only the pricier Mercedes Sprinter can better it. Towing ranges from 2,900 to 7,500 pounds.
Technology
A standard rearview camera is a huge plus in a work van. There are also a variety of audio system options to keep drivers happy, including the same Sync 3 infotainment system found in other Fords. A lane departure warning system is even available.
