The Ford Transit is the best-selling full-size van in America and a workhorse for businesses, contractors, churches, schools, transportation companies, and fleet operators. Don Wood Ford in Athens, Ohio stocks new and used Transit vans across configurations and helps southeast Ohio buyers spec the right van for their needs.

Why the Transit?

The Transit dominates the full-size van segment because it offers the widest range of configurations available, three engine options, and a deep parts and service network. Whether you need a small cargo van for a mobile service business, a fifteen-passenger van for a church or school, or an electric van for a route-based delivery fleet, the Transit covers nearly every commercial van use case.

Transit Cargo Van

The Transit Cargo Van is the workhorse of the lineup. It is available in three roof heights (Low, Medium, High), three body lengths (Regular, Long, Extended), and two wheelbase options. That flexibility means you can spec a compact urban delivery van or a high-roof extended-length van that lets a six-foot-tall worker stand upright inside. Common buyers include:

Plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, and other tradespeople who need a mobile shop. Mobile service businesses including locksmiths, mobile dog groomers, and mobile detailers. Last-mile delivery operators including Amazon DSP partners, FedEx contractors, and regional couriers. Specialty service businesses including mobile medical, mobile veterinary, and mobile glass repair.

Transit Passenger Van

The Transit Passenger Van seats up to 15 passengers and is a popular choice for churches, schools, senior living facilities, transportation companies, and large families. It comes in the same body length and roof height options as the cargo version, with available premium interior packages, advanced driver assistance features, and a quieter ride than older full-size passenger vans.

Transit Cutaway and Chassis Cab

For upfitters building box trucks, ambulances, shuttle buses, motorhomes, and specialty vehicles, the Transit Cutaway and Chassis Cab provide a Ford foundation in a single or dual rear wheel configuration. Don Wood Ford can connect you to qualified upfitters in the Ford Pro network to build the finished vehicle.

Transit Connect: The Smaller Sibling

The Transit Connect is a smaller compact cargo van for businesses that do not need full-size capacity. It fits in tight urban parking, returns better fuel economy, and handles smaller loads efficiently. Popular with mobile service businesses, courier operators, and fleet support roles.

E-Transit: The Electric Option

The E-Transit is Ford's all-electric full-size cargo van, designed for route-based fleet operations where daily mileage is predictable and home-base charging is available. Range varies by configuration and runs roughly 126 to 159 miles depending on roof height and length. Pro Power Onboard is available, which turns the van into a mobile power source for tools and equipment. For fleets running predictable urban or regional routes, the E-Transit can deliver significant fuel and maintenance savings over its operating life.

Powertrain Options

The 2026 Transit offers a 3.5-liter PFDi gas V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 for higher-output applications, and the all-electric powertrain in E-Transit. AWD is available on most configurations, which is meaningful in southeast Ohio for winter route reliability.

Used Transit Inventory

Many buyers come to us looking for used Transits, particularly fleet returns with good service history and remaining value. We stock used Transit cargo and passenger vans when available, all inspected by our service team and clearly priced. For buyers managing capital cost, a one to three-year-old Transit can deliver most of the new-van capability at a meaningful savings.

Financing for Commercial Buyers

We work with Ford Pro FinSimple and other commercial lenders to structure terms that fit how businesses actually operate. Talk to your accountant about whether a purchase or commercial lease makes more sense for your tax position before you sign.

Service and Parts

Don Wood Ford's service department maintains and repairs Transit vans for fleet and individual buyers. Common services include scheduled maintenance, brake and tire work, transmission service, and EcoBoost engine maintenance. We stock common Transit service parts and can source most others quickly.
