2017 FORD Transit

Notes

About 2017 Ford Transit Ford introduces enhancements across its van lineup for the 2017 model year that are designed to make the vehicles trusted by fleet and small business customers more flexible. Offering a choice of 64 configurations, up from 58 in the previous model year, Ford Transit's new optional features -- from low-profile center consoles to power running boards -- are available to help customers tailor the Transit even closer to their business needs. Newly available configurations include Transit 350 regular-wheelbase van -- and chassis cab and cutaway -- with single rear wheel and 9,500-pound GVWR. The 3.7-liter engine is now standard on dual-rear wheel van and wagon models. For 2017, a low-profile center console option is available on all Transit variants for delivery drivers and others who want easier access to walk from the cab into the back of the vehicle. The feature also makes it easier for fleets to install computer equipment in the center console area. High-capacity upfitter switches are available across the Transit lineup. The switches are enhanced with two increased amperage outputs, two battery hot outputs and two un-switched outputs. The output connector has been moved to an easy-access location behind the glove box in response to upfitter requests. The high-capacity upfitter switch upgrade includes a heavy-duty alternator, auxiliary fuse box, modified vehicle wiring system, dual heavy-duty batteries and a new interface connector that provides read-only CAN access in addition to a variety of signals useful to upfitters -- including power supply, engine start, engine run, stop lamp, door ajar, turn indicators, vehicle speed and handbrake engagement. Easy-to-clean styled aluminum-alloy wheels with locking lug nuts are now available for all Transit variants with GVWRs less than 9,500 pounds.
