2023 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van Minivan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
Ford offers the 2023 Transit Connect Cargo with a short or a long wheelbase and in XL and XLT trim levels. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (162 horsepower, 144 lb-ft) powers the front wheels using an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Which Transit Connect Cargo Van trim does Edmunds recommend?
It costs a couple of grand more, but we think upgrading to the XLT trim is worthwhile. The extra money pays for standard cloth seats, carpeting, a better infotainment system and more safety features. The result is a Transit Connect Cargo van that you might not mind driving every day.
