2015 Ford Transit Review: Dependable & Spacious Van Built To Haul People and Supplies

Alex Showalter
Oct 14, 2022

The 2015 Ford Transit lasts around 250,000 miles with only some minor driveshaft and A/C system issues. At $17,675 to $20,925, it’s expensive, but worth the money for someone looking for a large van capable of carrying a lot of people or cargo.

VehicleHistory Image
likeFilled The Good
Suspension is strong & smooth at highway speeds, high roof option gives more space than other vans and the towing capacity is high.

There’s no V8 engine available, the technology is extremely basic and Ford is focused more on commercial users than large families.

I am very happy with my Ford transit.
I bought it used 2 years ago. It has a lot of room.. When it turned 60, 000 I got a new drive shaft from a recall. The van is very nice to drive and I would buy another one when I am finished with this.. It gets good gas mileage and it is fun to drive.

The double / side by side style back doors are wonderful
It is so much easier to transfer into from my wheelchair than any other vehicle I have encountered, I do wish it had a flat floor for easier getting out, the step-up and out are a challenge at times. The double door on the back are great for getting my wheelchair in and out, so much easier than a hatchback , especially for shorter people that have to reach up for closing a hatchback . Not too keen on the console set up but if we had ordered it with our own preferences we could have done better

2015 Ford cargo van review
Haven't had any problems. With this vehicle other than ball joints have no way to lubricate them. Had them replaced with new ones that had grease nipples. Other than that I am happy with the overall product. Gas mileage is always a problem with a large vehicle, but I am able to keep the trips to a minimum

Cargo vans have come a long way
Comfortable roomy has good pep and is reliable. Good on gas. No real problems from manufacturers side. The model I have har rear view camera and is a godsend turning radius is awesome no operating windows in cargo area on van no moving air in back other than heating ac system driver and passenger window only fresh air into cabin options can't adjust side mirror housing from inside have to get out and adjust mirrors housing from outside if someone moves them. Has power mirrors. Hard to leave windshield wipers up in winter for snow removal doors act as sails when left open be careful of hard gust of wind will damage hinged area. Seats are very comfy and their. All buttons and knobs are in very good places reachable. Rear seats can be rearranged if needed never seen this before awesome aspect of van and can be removed if need to use as actual cargo van. All the space inside is amazing I'm a side guy and can pass through the seats easy. The engine strong for its size and has the best gitty up and go of any cargo van I have ever used. You would not know that it is only a six cylinder vehicle.

Ford transit XLT. My family loves it!
15 seat passenger van. Seats are fabric covered, no seat warmers, which can be a bummer if you are in a colder climate. Ample space for storing anything you and your family might need on the road. Lots of cup holders and multiple charging outlets throughout the car. The seats also have storage potential underneath. Even if you do not have a family, this is the perfect car for a road trip or field trip. The only complaint would be that it can be a nuisance to park, and it is definitely a gas guzzler. Overall, I do recommend this make and model. My family got ours second hand, and have been very pleased overall with the results.

In love with the transit, a few ideas to make it even more lovable!
I love the leather seats, built in navigation system, Bluetooth and Sirius radio! The overhead storage is incredibly helpful, though some bungee netting would be a nice feature to assist in keeping items more secure, though there is a lip or ridge to keep items from sliding out, a net of some sort would be more efficient. There are a lot of plugins which is great for family travel to accommodate devices being used. Plenty of cup holders. I would love to see more over head storage for rear passengers, however, the under seat cavity is nice too. I am unsure if a rubber flooring option is in existence, but I, personally, would prefer a wipe down flooring as I have several children. The carpet has not been too difficult to clean though! Parking is easy since this vehicle handles almost like a typical minivan and has a backup cam to help with the blind spot in the rear. No blind spots now! Truly love this vehicle!

Great family van or single persons cross country vehicle.
Amazing handling. Drives like a car!! Great space and lots of room when seating. Have drove mine cross country multiple times and would high recommend to anyone to pick one up. If you need a great family van, or even an r.V. Conversion. It is definitely a must buy for any occasion.

Everything but the room inside is totally lame.
I am growing more and more disappointed every single day with fords crappy designs, everything from the battery location to the stereo opening and their stupid little tiny screen for the back up camera to adding a receiver hitch is all the dumbest design possible, I should've went with Nissan toyota or honda, if you want to change or add anything in this van good luck. Idiots at ford made sure that you can't or can barely do anything, want a DVD player in dash? Pfff well ford made sure you have to cut the d**n dashboard, want to use your DVD screen for back up camera? Pfff ford made sure the warning beeps are only in their c**p stereo that you've replaced, want to bolt on a trailer hitch? Or a roof rack? Yeah well good luck. Want to change or add a wire to the battery? Have fun finding 5 different tools and removing everything behind the driver's seat and trying to work in a cramped stupid enclosure, there's a ton of wasted room under the hood but the idiot's at ford just had to put the d**n battery under the stupid driver's seat. You stuck ford, never ever will I buy another ford piece of c**p, terrible designs, I hate this van and I'm about to take it back.

It performs its purpose on an average level.
The steering easily misaligned. It can be awkward to control. But otherwise smooth ride. It is spacious to a point. Filled to capacity it is very uncomfortable. Interior is not required for wear and tear. For its size it provides good visibility. It is expensive to maintain.

Great acceleration when needed.
I drive vehicle on daily basis for job. Acceleration performance is excellent as I am often driving on interstates throughout the day. Vehicle is fairly good on gas. No major mechanical issues. Comfort in back seating area could use improvement. Large windshield area is a pet peeve of mine.. Until now I never knew there could be such a thing as too much window.

accountCircle Rebecca C
Roomy but not quality built.
I love the size of the vehicle especially the amount of storage in the back. I love having the camera for when reversing it really helps me feel safer. What I don't like about the vehicle is how easily everything breaks. My son was putting down the passenger side visor and it broke off and we can't fix it. I like how the gas tank is beside the drivers door but I am nervous because the cover broke off so anyone could put anything in my tank very easily. One of the seat belt covers came off and things seem cheaply made on the inside. I need the size because I have a very large family but really wished it was more durable.

What Do Critics Say About the Ford Transit?

  • Consumer Reports says the Ford Transit offers everything buyers want in a full size van with good owner satisfaction scores.
  • Edmunds rates the Transit at 2.9/5 praising the high towing capacity, but doesn’t like the lack of a V8 engine.
  • Kelley Blue Book users give the Transit a 3.7/5 enjoying the outstanding cargo capacity, but owners don’t like the inefficient engines.

What Common Problems Does the 2015 Ford Transit Have?

Common problems found on the 2015 Ford Transit include driveshaft vibrations, the A/C not cooling enough, as well as premature brake wear. Overall, these problems are relatively minor compared to other large vans, with average repair costs as well.

Driveshaft vibrations are a common complaint on the 2015 Ford Transit. There is a technical service bulletin for the u-joint at the transmission for the driveshaft. Changing out this part fixes the problem, and is usually covered as a warranty item.

The A/C not cooling the cabin enough is another issue reported by owners in the first 15,000 miles. Some owners say the A/C system isn’t properly sized for the tall roof models of the van since there’s so much cabin airspace. Adding a secondary A/C unit fixes the issue, although it costs around $1,200.

Premature brake wear also shows up on some Transit vans at around 20,000 miles. The problem is more common on the Transit cargo van model. When owners carry a lot of weight in the back of the van, it ultimately leads to faster brake wear. Changing out the pads costs around $400, while a set of rotors is an additional $800.

There are 26 recalls on the 2015 Ford Transit, which is significantly worse than other vans. A vast majority of the recalls cover the seats, seatbelts, along with wire connections. The most serious recalls are for the driveshaft u-joint and a fuel line. Ford will replace parts on affected models for free.

How Long Will the 2015 Ford Transit Last?

A well-maintained 2015 Ford Transit should last around 250,000 miles, which is similar to other large vans like the Chevy Express Van. Regular annual maintenance costs are high compared to other vehicles, but average for a large van at around $1,099 per year, according to data from Repair Pal.

Since nearly all used 2015 Ford Transit models for sale will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace the oil pan gasket for $500, power steering pump costing $425, and the engine oil level sensor, which costs $150.

accountCircle Brooke s

Yes very reliable. I can crank her right up and I know I will get to where I am needing to go safe and sound. No, as of now I have not had any issues with my van and do not intend on having major problems with it.

accountCircle Cassandra M

I find it to be incredibly reliable. I have not seen any major issues outside of scheduled maintenance.

accountCircle Pam Q

Yes. It is reliable. There are no problems with this car. It has served well in traveling between states as well for vacations.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is basic in the entry-level models of the Ford Transit van with only a 2-speaker stereo system. Optional upgrades include 4 or 6-inch touchscreen stereo systems. Safety technology is average, with an optional rearview camera along with a lane departure warning system.

Is the 2015 Ford Transit a Good Value?

Yes, the 2015 Ford Transit is a good value whether you need it for cargo or passengers. Blue book prices range from $17,675 to $20,925, making it cheaper than a Nissan NV or Ram ProMaster. When new, the price range was $32,270 to $43,795. Depreciation is average for a large van, losing about 15% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Ford Transit?

There are two main models of the Ford Transit offered in 2015, including the XL and XLT. There are also three roof heights including low, medium, and high roof options.

XL is the entry-level model with:

  • 16-Inch Steel Wheels
  • Power Windows & Locks
  • Vinyl Seating
  • 2-Speaker Stereo System

XLT is a step up, adding:

  • Cloth Seating
  • Cruise Control
  • Lane Keep Alert
  • Parking Sensors
  • Rearview Camera
  • 4-Inch Sync Screen

Optional features include:

  • 6-inch MyFord Touch Stereo System
  • 8-Speaker Stereo System
  • Heavy Duty Trailering Package

What Engines Come In the Ford Transit?

  • The base engine is an average 3.7 L V6 which makes 275 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque at up to 16 MPG.
  • An available upgrade is the turbocharged 3.5L V6, which generates 310 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque while getting up to 15 MPG.
  • There’s also a more efficient 3.2L diesel 5-cylinder which produces 185 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque, which gets up to 18 MPG.

What Colors Does the Ford Transit Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Ford Transit?

The 2015 Ford Transit is reasonably comfortable when equipped as a passenger van, with room for up to 15 people depending on the configuration. The seats are basic, yet supportive, making it a good choice for long trips.

Passenger room is fantastic throughout the cabin with enough room for passengers to stand up in the high-roof models.

How Much Storage Space Does the Ford Transit Have?

Storage space is what the Ford Transit was built for, and there’s enough space to load construction materials including 4 foot x 8 foot sheets of wood, as well as full size pallets into the back.

VehicleHistory Image

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The fourth generation of the Ford Transit was introduced in 2015, and is still being made in 2022.

2015: All-new model introduced to the United States, being brought to the US market from European countries.

2016: Standard rearview camera and tow hitch added, optional Sync 3 stereo system added.

2017: New LED Lighting package, 3.7L V6 is the standard engine, short wheelbase 350 model added.

2018: Power folding mirrors & Bluetooth added as standard.

2019: Rear doors have new hinges to open wider.

2020: New engines with more power, 10-speed automatic transmission, as well as all wheel-drive.

2021: 2.0L diesel motor discontinued, standard electronic parking brake added to RWD models.

How Does the Ford Transit Compare to the Competition?

The Ford Transit is better than a lot of the other full size vans on the market. If you’re looking for a cargo van it’s a great choice, however, if you don’t need to carry up to 15 people then you will be happier with a 3-row SUV.

The Ram ProMaster is another large van which is about $1,000 less. Interior materials are nicer in the Ram ProMaster, while there’s more space in the Ford Transit. We recommend the Ram ProMaster if you want to carry people, while the Ford Transit is a better choice for carrying supplies.

The Toyota Highlander is a 3-row SUV available which costs about $2,000 more. Both technology and interior materials are nicer in the Toyota Highlander, while the Ford Transit has a higher towing capacity. We recommend the Toyota Highlander for most shoppers unless you need the space and commercial abilities offered by the Ford Transit.

I love my ford transit for the most part. I'll start with my problems first. We bought it at 99,000 miles and shortly after it had a fuel problem sensor which after some research is common with fords and had to be replaced. The other problem that we've had is a lot of the plastic pieces in the inside of the van have popped off or broken very easily. The plus sides to my van have outweighed the bad. My favorite thing is all the room on the inside. I also love how there is a walking space between the 2nd and third row seats. It drives well and runs good too.

Ford transit workhorse van.
My Ford transit van is awesome. It has a lot of room for tools, materials, and has a ladder rack on top. This is company vehicle. It has the ecoboost that makes this van very quick to get around town. It is simple in the cockpit. With radio and CD player. I do however wish it had Bluetooth capabilities. The tires seem undersized for the load they carry and the van itself sits to high. Driving in the rocky mountain region the wind can become very strong and you certainly feel that with the high profile of this vehicle. All in all it is a good work van and I would recommend things vehicle to other fleet services that require work vans.

I like how the gas tank is beside the drivers door but I am nervous because the cover broke off so anyone could put anything in my tank very easily.

I like it seats a lot but don't like the gas mph it gives you

This thing fits everyone AND all our stuff! It drives easily, and once you get used to it, isn't too bad to park, although it is pretty long.
I like that it fits everyone in my family, and with enough space that there isn't fighting in the back. I also like not having to worry about losing the cap for the gas tank, as there isn't any! I wish there were steps going up to the inside, and a way to adjust the back seats backwards and forwards a little. I also wish there were a handle on the driver's side to pull myself in. (There's a handle on the front passenger side.) And I wish there were a better way to protect the carpets.

It gets very low gas mileage and the oil consumption issue.
I've had multiple oil consumption/loss issues with the van that have been fixed through the warranty.

Don't hit it It dents easily.
Easy on gas, easy to drive. Not comfortable.

It can be top heavy in windy days. We have the mid roof.
We love the tall roof, the space for our five children, the diesel engine, the fact that it pulls our camper, the stereo system with the touch screen, and the backup camera.

Roomy and is very reliable on the road.
My vehicle is very reliable, except my engine light keeps coming on. It's very comfortable. It's a v8 and the performance is great. Does go thru a lot of gas. The electrical is shorting out, not sure why. It has great speed and runs like a champ. I love it because my 3 dogs can ride very comfortably. I wish it was a 4x4.

Order the backup camera and perimeter alerts...they are a must when backing out of tight places
Van with an industrial ramp for my sisters oversized electric wheelchair to take her to Dr appointments.

I am very happy with my Ford transit.
I bought it used 2 years ago. It has a lot of room.. When it turned 60, 000 I got a new drive shaft from a recall. The van is very nice to drive and I would buy another one when I am finished with this.. It gets good gas mileage and it is fun to drive.

It's reliable. We have had no major issues with repairs.
I love it. It has been a very reliable work vehicle. We use for working purposes everyday which makes it our primary means of transportation. It has not given us many problems. We keep up on the maintenance of it.

It doesn't have sufficient room for very tall people.
It has room enough for the entire family. It has low cost maintenance. I would like it to be more stylish.

The double / side by side style back doors are wonderful
It is so much easier to transfer into from my wheelchair than any other vehicle I have encountered, I do wish it had a flat floor for easier getting out, the step-up and out are a challenge at times. The double door on the back are great for getting my wheelchair in and out, so much easier than a hatchback , especially for shorter people that have to reach up for closing a hatchback . Not too keen on the console set up but if we had ordered it with our own preferences we could have done better
