When it comes to versatile work vans, the Ford Transit lineup offers an impressive range of options to suit any business need. Two of the most popular models are the Transit-250 and Transit-350. While both provide the capability and flexibility that have made the Transit a top choice for many industries, there are some key differences between them. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the features and performance of the Transit-250 and 350 to help you determine which one is the best fit for your business.
Engine Options and Performance
One of the main differences between the Transit-250 and 350 is the engine options available. The Transit-250 comes standard with a 3.5-liter PFDi V6 engine that delivers 275 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. For those needing more power, the Transit-350 offers a 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 that puts out an impressive 310 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. This makes the 350 well-suited for hauling heavier -loads or navigating hilly terrain around Memphis.
Both models come with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth, efficient shifting. The Transit is also available with intelligent all-wheel drive for enhanced traction and stability in slippery conditions you might encounter in Desoto County during the winter months. With the Transit's car-like handling and range of capable engines, it's a top choice for businesses across the Mid-South region.
Cargo Space and Payload
Another factor to consider is how much cargo space and payload capacity you need. The Transit-250 offers up to 246.7 cubic feet of cargo space in the regular wheelbase model, while the long wheelbase high roof configuration provides a massive 487.3 cubic feet. The 250 has a maximum payload capacity of 4,550 pounds when properly equipped.
For even more hauling capability, the Transit-350 is the way to go. It has a maximum payload capacity of 5,110 pounds and up to 536.4 cubic feet of cargo space in the long wheelbase extended length high roof model. Many businesses in the Jackson TN area choose the 350 for its superior payload and cargo volume. Whether you need to transport equipment, materials, or deliveries, the Transit-350 is up to the task.
Technology and Safety Features
No matter which Transit model you choose, you'll get a range of advanced technology and safety features to enhance your driving experience. Available SYNC® 3 with navigation keeps you connected and on track to your destination. Standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking provides an extra layer of protection on the roads around Little Rock AR and beyond.
Other driver-assist features available on both the Transit-250 and 350 include Lane Keeping System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage, and more. With these smart technologies, you can drive your Transit with greater confidence and peace of mind wherever your work takes you.
