Ford Transit and Transit Connect vans Get Updates for 2016 [News] - The Fast Lane
Ford has updated its Transit and Transit Connect vans for the 2016 model year, adding features for both consumer and business applications. For the full-size Transit, Ford has added its SYNC 3 infotainment system. Also standard for the 2016 Transit is a rearview camera with trailer hitch assist. For the Transit Connect, Ford is making the flex-fuel 2. 5-liter four-cylinder engine standard on non-California-emissions models, allowing the use of E85 fuel. The Transit Connect wagon – the passenger version of Ford’s small van – gets standard second row fold-flat bucket seats in Platinum trim. Rounding out the changes to the Transit Connect wagon are Ford’s Blind Spot Integration System, which detects other vehicles when changing lanes or backing up, and new 17-inch alloy wheels for the XLT and Platinum versions. Both the 2016 Transit and Transit Connect vans will be available starting in September. Ford built over 100,000 Transits at its Kansas City plant in 2015, making it the best selling van for the year.
