2020 Ford Transit - Everything you need to know!

Today we are taking a look at the 2020 Ford Transit! This vehicle has been refreshed for 2020 and it includes a lot of new technology! For the last 40 years, Ford has been America’s best-selling full-size commercial van brand. And for 2020, the Transit family of vans is ready to meet customer needs with more configuration choices, more technology and more efficiency — all driven by customer feedback to make each Cargo Van and Passenger Van better tailored to their purpose. Changes include an all-new Crew Van model, standard Ford Co‑Pilot360 driver-assist features, available all-wheel drive, one new engine, a responsive new 10‑speed transmission, new seating options, styling changes and new technologies, such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Enhanced Active Park Assist. Transit comes into 2020 offering two powertrain choices: a new 3.5L port fuel, direct-injected (PFDI) V6 engine and an enhanced 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine. Both engines are paired with a new 10-speed automatic transmission with Selectable Drive Modes and new-for-2020 all-wheel drive is available. A new heavy-duty front axle and Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package round out the components needed to get more done. 10-Speed Automatic with Selectable Drive Modes is paired with all Transit engines. Three overdrive gears and a wide 7.4:1 gear ratio span Integrated torque converter/turbine clutch helps reduce weight, while also reducing the packaging size of the transmission High-speed, one-way clutch helps deliver smooth and responsive shifting
Engine rpm matching on coast-down shifts provides a seamless transition to lower gears — effective when cornering Integrated electric pump works with Auto Start-Stop Technology for seamless restarts Ultra-low viscosity transmission fluid and off-axis variable-displacement pump maximize transmission performance Utilizes real-time adaptive shift schedule algorithms which monitor more than a dozen powertrain- and driver-control signals to help ensure the transmission is in the right gear at the right time Progressive Range Select

I’ve watched this video multiple times. Hands down the most informative video on this van I’ve seen. Great job and thank you. 👍👍👍

Planning on buying a Medium Roof, Long Wheelbase Crew Van for Overlanding/Traveling/Bugging Out and putting a motorcycle and garage in the back. 🤘🏼

Town & Country and this reviewer Mitchell consistently produce top quality video reviews. He’s an exemplary speaker. Thank You.

Fabulous presentation! I am looking to buy a Ford Transit to live in. Although my local Ford dealerships could not answer any of my questions, you have answered all of them. Your presentation skills are right on! thank you from Campbell California :-)

Loved the video. Love this van. You and Ford both did a great job.

I much prefer the forward driving position and all the glass/low beltline of a van vs. the higher hood and somewhat squinty windshields of most modern pickup trucks. The forward driving position also makes for better space utilization. My ideal vehicle would be a cab chassis Transit with a pickup bed. I haven't taken the measurements but I think Ford could probably get a "T-150" w/ 8 foot bed in the same space that a regular cab short bed F-150 takes up. They'd sell dozens of them which is probably why they'll never do it, but a man can dream, right?

Well done. Nice to know the practical height of mid roof for rolling in motorcycles and overall livability. I think I want the mid roof long AWD with the 3.5 eco boost

Great video. I was sold on promaster, but this swayed me. “And that is something you need to know, nonetheless.”

Be cool for cleaning crew, small family, Police and fire, it's a endless setup, but I would go with four captain seats instead...nice rig!

Those Ford Transits have blind spots in the front quarters, it has a sloped windshield with solid side panels that block your vision. I used to drive one at work and poles, signs, and pedestrians used to pop up out of nowhere.

Now if Ford would just make 'live-in' models like the Fiat Ducato versions made in Germany (e.g. Knaus, Adria), they would have crazy sales figures. :)

Thumbs up definitely on all the description/explanation on this van, it helped me big time!

[gooseabuse]

Wow very informative video, been looking at minivans for my growing family and this looks like a serious vehicle.

[dancindavey]

We need to hear if past problems have been corrected. We can get this info from car lots.

[jefffreestone]

We have 75 of these Van's in our fleet. The driver seen to break off the gas doors. I have seen other Van's with this ppl problem also. Ford must know this due to part sales.

Is there an option for seats with armrests for the rear seat (at least on the door side)? In the Ford custom build configurator I see the fabric seat photo shows an armrest in the small photo but then the large interior photo does not show them. For long trips with my kids armrests would be really desirable. Would love to confirm this before ordering.

This was a very very thorough tour of the very very new Ford van and I'm very very happy to have seen it. Take very very good care of your very very nice van.

[PresidentBust]

I enjoyed this video alot. Learned alot., Very grateful. Thanks from ireland!

[barbrichardson]

Some really good insight on some of the van's features. Thank you!

[StephPNE]

Iv had Ford transits all my life but iv got mercedes sprinter for the first time. The difference is unreal. Yes I'll get done for higher parts service ect but man the sprinter is a mean machine

[VoIPPortland]

Been happy with my 2014 Promaster for six years now, but either an AWD Transit or a Transit Quadvan conversion to 4x4 is in my future.
