2017 Ford Transit 350 Passenger Wagon EcoBoost V-6 - Ford owned the U.S. full-size-van business for decades with its E-series offerings and, as a consequence, was a bit behind some other manufacturers in offering Euro-style full-size boxes.
Mercedes, Ram, and Nissan all were established players with the new type by the time Ford’s big Transits rolled onto the scene for the 2015 model year. But being a little late to the starting gate doesn’t seem to have diminished Ford’s robust van business the company still leads the commercial-van sales race by a healthy margin and the Transit seems to have been well worth the wait.
It’s offered in multiple sizes two wheelbases and three roof heights with three engine options, including a diesel. Ford offers single- and dual-wheel rear axles and the choice of either cargo (Van) or passenger (Passenger Wagon) versions; the latter is available in four seating configurations capable of accommodating between eight and 15 occupants.
Our test unit was a mid-roof, long-wheelbase 350 Passenger Wagon XLT, meaning it was nearly six feet in interior height from the floor to the ceiling (if you need to transport basketball players, the high-roof version adds nine more inches).
Who has a need for a van such as this? Pole-vault squads? Fly-fishing teams? Resorts, maybe, or church schools? Whatever its use case, there were seats for a dozen in our van, arranged in four rows two up front, three in the second row, three in the third (two on the left with an aisle separating the right-hand seat), and four on a bench spanning the rear.
The available 15-seat configuration adds another row of three seats and an industry-first five-row curtain airbag but it has only 73 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rearmost seats (in mid-roof, long-wheelbase configuration) compared with the 94 cubic feet in the van we tested. Need more? There’s an optional extended-length body (high roof only) with 15 seats that boasts 100 cubic feet out back.
Although this van was kitted out with more than $7000 in optional equipment, the passenger accommodations were a little spartan. There are no USB ports aft of the front row, and cupholders and armrests are few and far between. On the other hand, each passenger seat provides enough room for a pretty good-size set of gluteal muscles, and of course there’s plenty of space in the vertical dimension.
