4 Reasons Why The Ford Transit Is The Best Van On The Market
Features

When you think of vans, the Ford Transit immediately springs to mind. It’s so widely used because of its reliability, power and performance. While other manufacturers have tried to challenge Ford’s dominance, nobody has yet managed to knock it off the top spot. In fact, last year the Ford Transit made up 17.6 percent of all sales in the commercial vehicle sector and sales are always increasing. But is the Ford Transit the best selling van in the UK because of its iconic image, or does it really offer the performance to back it up?

Here are 4 reasons why the Ford Transit is still the best commercial vehicle on the market right now. It’s Easy To Drive This is a massive bonus because a lot of commercial vehicles are clunky and don’t handle that well, but the Ford Transit doesn’t have that problem. You’ve got a choice of front wheel drive, rear wheel drive or four-wheel drive options. All are easy to drive and the Transit feels a lot smaller than it actually is. Even the most inexperienced large van drivers won’t have too much trouble handling it on the road. It’s Cheap To Insure The running costs of a vehicle are always an important factor to consider, especially if you’re using the van for business purposes. The good news is, you can find cheap van insurance for the Transit pretty easily. It isn’t the cheapest van to insure but it’s only beaten by the Vauxhall Vivaro, anything other van is going to cost you more. Eco-Friendly Engines Since 2016, Ford has been offering a range of 2.0-litre EcoBlue turbodiesel engines which are a lot cheaper to run and are more environmentally friendly. People are often put off by eco-friendly engines because they worry that they’ll have to sacrifice power but that isn’t the case. You get 20 percent more low-end torque which makes a huge difference. It tackles hills with ease, even with a full load in the back and you’ll always get a smooth ride. It’s also a lot less noisy than the engines in the older models. The fuel consumption is around 44 miles per gallon but if you go for the version with the stop-start function, it’ll be around 6 percent more efficient. They also include an ‘easy fuel’ feature which makes it almost impossible to fill the tank from the wrong pump. It’s Accessible Accessibility is an important consideration for a lot of people, especially if you’ve got a disability that affects your driving. The good news is, all models of the Ford Transit are accessible for wheelchairs. You can get them modified fairly easily for either side or back entry and there is plenty of room inside for a passenger in a wheelchair. This might not be a priority for you but it’s just another reason that the Ford Transit is still so great. These are just 4 of the many reasons that the Ford Transit deserves to stay in the top spot for commercial vehicle sales.  Ford Transit, popular in the UK, dailycarblog.com
