Description

Practicality not excitement is the Ford Transit’s strength, but it does it so well and has hauled so many goods over the years it is much more than just an endearing mule. The Transit is a beloved workhorse that delivered everything from rubber duckies looking for the perfect bath to rock bands searching for stardom. Ask Scotland Yard and they will tell you that the Transit has been the culprit getaway vehicle in an astounding number of crimes, despite its inability to “getaway” with any significant quickness. It’s bland, and its functional down to its 73 horsepower V4 and live beam suspension, but sometimes getting the job done will earn you more credit than winning races.
