We are giving away the ULTIMATE F-250! Check it out! bit.ly/F250_Giveaway
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

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 :-)
Thumbs up definitely on all the description/explanation on this van, it helped me big time!
Thanks for posting......very informative
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?
Nice review though. I appreciate the video. Increases my anticipation for mine.
Wow very informative video, been looking at minivans for my growing family and this looks like a serious vehicle.
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

My 2005 Mercedes Sprinter has 768kmiles on it . 2003 - 2006 only. 'OM647' "Million Mile Motor" You CANNOT find one UNDER $10K miles with UNDER 400k MILES on it!? There's a good reason they call it the only "MILLION MILE MOTOR" ever built!?
Good for camper van conversion
Love the presentation. It will help me make informed decision.
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!

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. :)

Excellent and informative video! Could you please post the website or link for the bodybuilding specifics on the transit once again!
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.
I'm sold!!!!
Very nice, quick question on the crew model, is the second row seating removable and how difficult would that be? On the MB Metris it's quick detach.

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.
Any update on the transmission fluid dipstick for daily ambulance checks?
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.

GREAT VIDEO
Very good job I plan on buying another transit I have the connect and love it but need a bigger van Ford is the best
Thanks for your time actually making a great video but i’ll go ahead and drop my dime on 2020 Sprinter 🤙
How easy is it to remove the second row seats on the crew van? With the crew van and AWD I can see this as an alternative to a pickup truck but I’m sure there are times that the second row of seats could get in the way if you need to haul a lot or something really long
We are sure that the AWD system makes this vehicle very safe, which skids as little as possible on paved roads even if they are icy, snowy. It would be good to know its off-road capabilities because among the 20% of family users, some want to use it as an RV.
Thank you for the great video! Is the back seat in the crew van a single piece? Or is it possible to remove a portion of it? I only need a single seat (one space) in the back row - ideally just the center seat - and am wondering if the location of the factory seat mounting holes on the floor would allow me to do this?

If ford would make the styling like that of a navigator they would sell way more. I really like the van
Are the three back seats detachable? And could you possibly add three additional seats back there?
great vid
I have a 2015 and I hate the Gas cap. My pant leg always get caught on it and 4 years in the hinge snapped
All that stuff is good but did you fix the driveshaft issue? ie: The coupler that needs replacing every 30K miles
High roof, 4x4, remote start, upfitter switch panel like on raptor or super duties, diesel? Does the smaller transit have a turbo eco boost awd with remote start option?
I've also heard that Ford applied for a copyright on the name Scout. This being used for the "baby Bronco".
Do you sell work van low roof 130 WB with adaptive cruise control and 8" sync 3?Here in Chicago area you will never meet this options together.

That squarish angled "cup holder" on the driver's side could be an umbrella holder.
I've seen photos of Transit that those side passenger door are instead of sliding door they get split doors, it does comes in an option too?
Thank you for a very informative video. This “Crew” version of this van, which is a great equipment package for families, is IMPOSSIBLE to find. I live in a huge metropolitan area (South Florida) and there isn't a single one available from any dealer or individual, new or used. One would have to be shipped from elsewhere or ordered from the factory.

@Barry Boppins I have a 2016 mid-roof passenger and live in the Northeast and the only one of those problems I have encountered is the seat being a bit uncomfortable on long trips, of which I've done plenty. And the headrest is next to useless for me at nap time. But I'm 6-3 280 and I'm not complaining. And it drives like a dream on the highway. You must have a special beef with Ford for some reason.... The AC pump crapped out just recently. But it is 4.5 years old. And I have read about battery problems. Thankfully I haven't had any because it's incredibly difficult to access. There must be a better way.
Good stuff
if there were insulation on the ceiling, how tall could you be and not touch the roof? Thanks
Please explain how are the dual battery works on the Transit? Can we plug a mini refrigerator on the Transit when the van is not running? Will it kill the battery that van will not start the next morning?
I noticed when the configurator first came out, there was a dual sliding door option but now it's gone, what happen to that option?
