Great van for large families or those who need to haul a lot of people!
It's very comfortable and easily adaptable to whatever needs we have as a large family. We've had no real problems with it. The gas mileage is relatively good (16 MPG). The gas door is a bit wonky and easy to catch. The electric throttle takes some getting used to. Easy to clean out and vacuum.

Why I love my vehicle. All the features are really great, I love fords.
I love all the features, the rear view camera is great. I love the ease of driving. It tells me how many miles I have on the amount of gas I have left. The auto windshield wipers are also a great feature. The way the seats fold down gives me lots of room to haul so many things.

Rear brakes
Its a very smooth riding vehicle. I have 38,000 miles on my 2019 van and took in for service and required rear brakes-really. Was told by mechanic this is very common with the transit 2500 vans. I would love to hear from Ford on this possible problem. Was informed I would need to have rear brakes ever 30,000 miles. Any comments Ford? Raymond

Worse car ever owned
I bought a 2017 Transit 250 diesel for work. I got diesel cuz the engine usually lasts longer than regular gas engine. Within 1 month I owned it, it broke. It was at the dealeship for 2 weeks because the had to waitfor the part to come in and they did not give me the loner Car. So finally got it back and after 2 months check engine light came on, took it to dealer and it was the EGR sensor that went bad, had to wait for that for 1 week. After another month, the fuel line broke off and they couldn’t get the part in for 2 months cuz it was back ordered so I couldn't drive my van for 2 months. After that anotherEGR sensor went bad. So I only put 6,000 miles on it and it was in the shop longer than I drove it. I went and traded it in and lost $12,000 on it within 7 months. Don’t buy a Transit

Awesome passenger van that can haul up to 15 people.
It is very reliable and good on gas. It is much easier to drive than a regular passenger van. The back up camera is a nice touch. The only downside is that you will have a hard time finding a parking garage that the van can fit in due to its height. Parking lots will be your friend.

The 2018 ford transit 250 is highly reliable and very customizable.
My 2018 ford transit 250 has been a perfect fit for my job. I purchased the xlt, extended, low roof van with a second battery and larger alternator for added reliability. I chose the low roof so I can fit into newer parking garages. I customized and up fitted this van to fit my work needs. I added a lift gate, inverter and several work lights, both interior and exterior. The rear of the van was insulated for noise and heat reduction. Flooring, shelving, and paneling was installed with e track. Overall the performance, reliability, comfort and features have been great! The only issue I have been having is the tire inflation sensor. The sensor triggers about 20 minutes into my drive. Other than that, I purchased a great reliable vehicle.
Rooters. Brakes. Comfortable. Large enough. Red color. Beige interior. Easy to drive. Fits a lot of people. Unique color and style. Sunroof. Stereo. Quiet. Seats are easy to move. Electric. Clean look. Red wine color. Easy to park. Middle compartment. Phone charge. Bluetooth.

Great purchase. Just wish I had 4 wheel drive.
It is great for room. Not recommended for living in snowy areas. Does not do well on ice. But great for a large family. No issues. It is a tad difficult if you have a lot of car seats. As you have to climb all the way in to buckle them. I would purchase this vehicle again. But I would definitely upgrade and get the one that has 4 wheel drive. I do not pull anything or do any difficult work with mine. Just every day traveling. Does have a blind spot.

Big van is good but needs more.
Needs to be more catered to a luxury feel instead of commercial. I would trade but I need the size to carry my family. I am looking for another vehicle that would accommodate that makes me feel like I am driving a regular luxury vehicle. Also there needs to be an electric close on the door because of the air tight and weight of the door.

It has a good standards of driving with many people.
My vehicle has a unique standards of carrying 12 people in each seats in the van and also it has 3 outlet chargers in the from the front to back seats. It includes 9 cup holders in each sides of the van. But it does not have much problem to take care of because it just need some oil changes that needed to be done and it just go out bad.

Ford Transit Diesel Engine
14 months on the road list of breaks down Transmission Leaking (as a new vehicle) 110000km Transmission exploded other issues: DEF Heater replacement didnt work on Winter DEF Warning started as problem with check Engine warning Technician cannot find the problem the case still open (Ford Tech not having proper diagnostic tools to track the warning cause). The vehicle waited weeks for parts and actual repairs. Causing my company loosing revenue. Mechanically disappointing vehicle. When you pay so much for it you expecting better quality then what Ford offers with this one.

All the best reviews of this vehicle seem fabricated by ford sales reps or one person, too many clues you dummies
These vans are not reliable. Not saying Ford doesn't build some good stuff. Their trucks are pavement princesses that will last if you take care of them. But their vans seem to be junk. I've worked on several and used several. Glad I never paid for one myself.

Quality not there.
Really having a hard time dealing with my new 2020 transit. 640 miles and electrical issues. The truck is in the shop already. Steering system Control failure. The 10 speed transmission; not really sure how it will handle long term. Too much shifting and not smooth at all.

Defective Intake Manufold Gord E150
I just paid $1,500 to replace the cracked intake manifold 2 years ago and now just a few weeks after the 2 year warranty is up it is cracked and leaking again. Ford refused to honor the warrant and wants me to pay another $1,100. There should be a recall on this defective part. I will never buy another Ford

Top notch van with all the bells and whistles.
It's a great work vehicle. You can stand up inside it. Room for a large tool box, shelves and other compartments for storage. It is a comfortable vehicle with backup camera, good gas mileage too. We bought a white color as it does not show the dirt like other colors. All in all very happy with this purchase for my husbands work.

Rad Blue Van with storage and safety
A 250 character review of my Ford Transit Van as required by this survey would say that it is great to drive and very comfortable while in traffic. Fits all my tools and allows for easy access to all inside shelving for parts and components. Also it's blue so that's fairly radical

I love the back up camera and the vinyl flooring. The last thing you want is a vehicle full of children and carpeting!
It is so comfortable and a great drive for how large of a vehicle. I enjoy all of the features that have been added that weren't available on older Ford E350 models. Love the standard backup camera.

Great family van but could use some improvements.
The space this van has is amazing for large families. But the seats are narrow. The van has plenty of power with the turbo engine and has had good gas mileage for such a large vehicle. There is plenty of cargo space however I wish there was a bet or hooks to keep small things from moving in the large space. I also wish for more luxurious amenities like a loaded SUV. It lacks in that area.

Ford Heavy Duty Picker Upper
Vehicle has a very smooth ride to it. There is ample space for passengers. The only knock against it, is that the miles per gallon isn't high at all. Other than that I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to buy a van to transport a lot of people around.

This is a great vehicle for large families. You will not be disappointed with buying the Transit, the drive is very smooth!
We bought the 15 passenger Transit for our large family. We have 10 children. This car is very comfortable and the medium roof makes it easy to get in and out of the car, we can literally walk inside the car without having to bend over. This car drives very smooth and each seat is a captain chair. The only thing is I wish the air was cooler. The kids sometimes complain that it is hot in the back of the car. However, we do live in Arizona, so things take longer to cool off. The gas mileage is to be expected for a larger vehicle. You cannot park this car in parking garages, so one has to be careful of the clearance when you park also take caution at drive thrus. The storage space is minimal, however, for us we needed more passenger space vs storage. We have plenty of space between seats to store things if we are going on a road trip. We love this vehicle and are happy with our decision to purchase it!

15 passenger van. Great family vehicle.
We bought this 15 passenger van. A downside is that it does not have much cargo space. We actually removed 4 of the seats to make it better fit our needs. This makes it much more convenient for long trips. We find this vehicle very comfortable and has plenty of legroom.

Large family van. Large windshield for maximum view when driving.
I love the space of my 15 passenger transit. I like how the bench seats are easily removed. I wish the seats were leather instead of cloth. I also wish the floor was metal or plastic rather than carpet. It is hard to clean. I’d also like the radio to wirelessly connect to my iPhone in order to play music and other media through the van’s speakers.

Greatest family van in the world. We've loved owning this van
This is the best vehicle we've owned. We have five kids and one on the way, and this van is the most practical vehicle out there. The gas mileage is amazing for such a large van. The drive is amazing. The comfort is exceptional, especially on long trips. The sync system is helpful. The seats are not ideal for grown adults in the back, but they work. It handles pulling well. It is a joy to drive. The storage is incredible. It is a superior vehicle.

Great vehicle for large families
We are a large family of 6 and it was really important for us to have room for the whole family as well as friends and extended family. We also love our vehicle because it still has a large trunk space for travel and vacations. The comfort is good and it handles really well. Both my husband and I are still able to park it in the garage (it fits, but there is definitely not a lot of extra space.) the low roof still has enough space for us to easily move around and buckle children in their car seats without difficulties

Sits up much higher than a minivan
Has a lot of pep for a large van. So far very reliable. We've been getting 12-14 mpg city & 18-20 highway mpg. It's very comfortable & can easily fit 5 car seats. Lots of cargo room. Extra seats are easy to remove. Good value for a large vehicle for my large family. We can even fit 5 bikes & a bike trailer in the back!
