2015 Ford Transit Van Exterior
Versatility is the name of the game. The 2015 Ford Transit Van comes with three roof profiles—83.6 inches, 100.8 inches, and 110.1 inches—and six body lengths ranging from 217.8 inches to 263.9 inches, ensuring that buyers can always get exactly what they need. It boasts a large swept-back windshield, soft corners on the front end, tinted glass, and 16-inch steel wheels with color-keyed hubcaps. The high roof betrays the Transit’s European roots, where compact cities and roads make vertical space more valuable.
