The Ford Transit is one of the most capable vehicles on the road today. Our test van came in the 14-passenger, heavy-duty, high-roof, extra-long, dual-rear-wheel configuration. That's a mouthful, but what it means is that it can hold maximum cargo, transport large groups with ease, and tow a big trailer. Under the hood is an impressive turbocharged 3.5-liter V6, and inside is the easy-to-use Sync infotainment system. There are some drawbacks, such as poor fuel economy and a less-than-ideal driving position, but the Transit is still a runaway class leader.

Overview

If you need to haul a lot of people and cargo around, and an SUV isn't big enough, consider the 2022 Ford Transit Passenger Van. The full-size van seats up to 15 passengers and can be configured in different lengths and roof heights. It has an effective towing capacity and is available with dual-rear wheels for heavy lifting. It's a great option without having to move up to something larger and more expensive.

For 2022, the Transit gained more tech options. The most notable upgrade is the available Sync 4 infotainment system that comes with a 12-inch touchscreen and a navigation system. Ford also added Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, an enhanced adaptive cruise control system that can automatically adjust to the speed limit of the road or highway you are on. Reverse automatic braking and a surround-view camera system are two options added for the new model year.
With available all-wheel drive, a towing capacity of up to 4,600 pounds, loads of passenger room, and plenty of available tech, the Ford Transit Passenger Van is a great choice for those needing a large people mover for their commercial or recreational needs. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Nissan NV Passenger are alternative passenger vans to consider. For an in-depth review done by our test team, check out the Edmunds' Expert Rating below.

out of 10
We drove the 2022 Ford Transit Passenger Van on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8.5/10
How does the Transit Passenger Van drive? The turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 gives the Transit plenty of character. Acceleration is easy and smooth around town thanks to the 10-speed automatic transmission, and when you need to climb a mountain or speed away from the light, the EcoBoost engine has you covered. At our test track, the Transit sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 8.7 seconds. That's really moving for a vehicle this large and heavy.
Typical braking feels easy and responsive, but the Transit took a bit longer to make panic stops than other vans we've tested in this class. The Transit's steering gives you a decent feel for the road and easily returns to center after turning. Handling is a bit of a shocker since this giant van is actually pretty fun to drive, even if you haven't converted it into a party bus.

Handling is a bit of a shocker since this giant van is actually pretty fun to drive, even if you haven't converted it into a party bus.
Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Transit Passenger Van? The Transit offers a surprisingly good ride, even in the heavy-duty 14-passenger configuration. Most big bumps are soaked up, and only the sharpest of impacts make their way into the cabin. Road and wind noise is pretty noticeable due to the big profile, but that's to be expected. Even so, it's not as loud as some competitors.
The driver's seat, while a bit awkwardly positioned, is supportive and comfortable on long trips. The rear seats are a bit flatter and less comfortable, but they're totally acceptable for a heavy-duty van. The climate control system keeps the cavernous cabin cool on hot days, and optional heated front seats warm up nicely on colder days.

Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? Climbing into and out of a large van like the Transit will always be a bit difficult, but the wide-opening front and side doors make it easier. Once you're inside, the driver controls are well laid out, with large knobs for the climate control and intuitive buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel. And unless you're loading in 14 NFL linebackers, the cabin should be roomy enough for almost any group.
The driving position is a low point for the Transit, offering a sort of top-down view of the dash, with a long reach to the steering wheel for taller drivers. Forward visibility is excellent, but a big pillar behind the driver obscures the immediate view to the side. Blind-spot monitoring helps a great deal here. A high-mounted wide-angle rearview camera and big side mirrors also help in getting this big van into relatively tight spaces.

Technology
8/10
How’s the tech? Ford's optional Sync infotainment system is a must-have in the Transit. It has a clear 8-inch display for the navigation screen, easy-to-use voice controls, and smartphone integration for both Apple and Android devices. The eight-speaker stereo that comes with the Sync system isn't as impressive, but it gets the job done. Six USB ports and two 12-volt outlets should keep most of your devices charged too.
A number of driver aids are available on the Transit. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert come standard. Adaptive cruise control is optional, as is a split-view front camera. Both performed adequately during our test.

Storage
8.5/10
How’s the storage? The massive dimensions of the high-roof, long-wheelbase Transit allow for a great deal of interior storage. Under the seats, there's plenty of room for luggage, and small items can be stored in a number of front cubbies. The cupholders are large, deep and numerous, lining the cabin for all those late-night 14-person fast-food runs. As many as 11 car seats can be loaded in, though attaching them to the lower tethers might be a bit time-consuming.
Hauling capabilities with the Transit are right near the top of the class, and depending on equipment, the Transit has a maximum payload capacity of 4,230 pounds. Max towing is behind class leaders by a few hundred pounds, but its max rating of 4,300 pounds is respectable.

Fuel Economy
6/10
How’s the fuel economy? What the Transit gains in performance with the turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 it loses in fuel economy. Based on its heavy-duty status, the Transit isn't rated for fuel economy by the EPA, but during our test we weren't able to crest 13 mpg, even on long highway stretches.
Value
7/10
Is the Transit Passenger Van a good value? The Transit is priced competitively, offering similar amounts of equipment as rivals, and many of the Transit's options are stand-alone, so you can pick and choose what you need. Our dual-rear-wheel heavy-duty test van came with options including adaptive cruise control and Ford's excellent Sync infotainment system. The final price was close to $60,000. A similarly equipped Sprinter will run you about the same price but doesn't offer some of Ford's safety aids.
A three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and roadside assistance coverage for five years/60,000 miles are standard. It's worth noting paint repair damage from "airborne metals" is also covered for the first year, up to 12,000 miles.

Wildcard
7.5/10
When you consider the Transit's utility capabilities, it's impressive how well it behaves on curvy roads. The power is fun, and the handling is good enough to stop you from being the guy who's holding up the line when you're going up a mountain road. The Transit is a workhorse, but its styling isn't overly boring or boxy.
2022 Ford Transit Passenger Van trim level differences
The 2022 Ford Transit Passenger Van is a full-size passenger van offered in two trims: XL and XLT. There are standard- and long-wheelbase models as well as low-, medium- and high-roof body styles. There are also three body lengths to choose from: regular, long and extended.
Which Transit Passenger Van trim does Edmunds recommend?
Passenger vans don't always need the extra bells and whistles, but if you want the most from your people mover, we recommend getting the XLT trim. The added tech you get from the Sync 4 infotainment system and the 12-inch touchscreen will make the ride more enjoyable, and blind-spot monitoring with rear-cross traffic alert will help ensure a safer commute. For a significant power boost, consider the optional turbocharged V6 engine.

2019 Ford Transit Passenger Van 150 XLT Medium Roof 3dr Van (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
The wheel well blocks where one would comfortably put their left foot while driving. The only way to extend your left leg is to put it right beside your right leg. I can not get comfortable driving this van! Also, the rear wheel drive is useless in snow, don't even try! So gutless my accelerator pedal broke off. The side door has dents in it because it's so hard to close properly. The … 2022 model has small cup holders and the back up camera is small and in the dashboard, making it very hard to see.

2019 Transit 150 van. 11,000 miles. Terrible vibration/ drone at highway speeds. Under warranty. Took to dealer near me drive shaft and damper installed per service bulletin from Ford. Still has vibration / drone. Will take it back again Monday.
I do like the van. It is everything I wanted except for the frustrating drive train issue. I hope I can get it fixed.
