+ | === Single vs. Dual Rear Wheel === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) vans offer advantages in load-carrying capacity which can be critical for heavier builds. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Single-Rear-Wheel vans are preferred for vans that are frequently driven on snowy pavement, as the narrower contact patch can more easily press down through snow to pavement below. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The costs of needing to replace 6 tires instead of 4 is mostly a wash, as the tire sizes used on the DRW are cheaper than the SRW. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The rear valve stems are pain in the butt to access on a DRW van, making airing tires up/down extremely frustrating. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Notes on AWD (All Wheel Drive) ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | See the [[rv: | ||

+ | |||
+ | ==== Fuel Economy ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is no appreciable fuel economy savings from the base engine vs the turbocharged " | ||
+ | |||
+ | The biggest determining factor in highway fuel economy for the Transit is roof height and speed; the high and medium roof vans get significantly worse gas mileage than the low roof models (especially at highway speeds). [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | From 2020 onward, all Transits are equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission that has an extremely deep 10th gear at 0.63:1. This noticeably helps highway mileage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Roof racks seem to have a significant drag on highway fuel economy, losing 2-3mpg at highway speeds. [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Diesel engine does get noticeably better fuel economy (23mpg+ is widely reported at 65mph), however this is offset by their higher purchase cost, more expensive fuel, and long-term reliability problems that are [[rv: | ||

+ | |||
+ | FULL DISCLOSURE: This section is mostly a rant about one person' | ||
+ | |||
+ | > //The ordering process for a new van from Ford is a byzantine, stupid, frustrating process that is a shining example of why people hate car companies.// | ||
+ | |||
+ | > Remember that you can't actually buy a van from Ford; you have to buy it from a dealership, who acts as a middle-man between you and Ford. In the olden-days this was a useful thing, but in the modern era dealers serve no real function aside from [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | > But because Ford sees the website as little more than a fancy brochure, the website is usually hilariously out of date or incorrect. They didn't even update it for the 2023 Transit until //after the ordering window for the Transit had already closed// for the 2023 model year. Furthermore, | ||
+ | |||
+ | > What's worse is that most dealerships aren't particularly knowledgeable about the vans either. The Transit is a very complex vehicle that has more options that almost any other vehicle that Ford makes, and most " | ||
+ | |||
+ | > To really get useful information on what options are what, you need to get the Ford Transit Order guide. Googling can find it, it's usually updated pretty often through the model run and ends up posted all over the Ford Transit USA forums. [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | > To make it even worse, many dealerships can't even order new Transits; At the beginning of a model year, Ford makes a guess at how many of each type of vehicle it can build and then splits all of those manufacturing slots between all of its franchisees. | ||
+ | |||
+ | > The dealership has to then decide how many of these allocations to use for " | ||
+ | |||
+ | > What this means is that the window for being able to order a van and have some sort of hope that it will actually be built is vanishingly narrow; sometimes only being open for a few weeks per year. For the 2023 model year the order window opened on August 24th and closed on September 11th; it was open for //just three weeks!// | ||
+ | |||
+ | > Some of these problems are, in no doubt, due to production limitations brought about by the computer ship shortage and exacerbated by the war in Ukraine; the majority of Ford's wiring harnesses were produced in Ukraine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | > But because of this, do not expect that ordering a van will be a simple or fast process; many buyers for the 2022 model year waited 9+ months after placing their orders only to be finally told by the dealership that the order had been " | ||

+ | Due to the design of the braking system, the rear brake pads on Transits can wear out more quickly than many owners expect. [[https:// | ||

+ | ==== TPMS Reset ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Common Modifications ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Tires ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Transit uses a weird tire size and bolt pattern for the wheels, so aftermarket options are limited. | ||
+ | |||
+ | FarOutRide did an excellent write-up on what the options are for more aggressive off-pavement oriented tires for SRW (Single Rear Wheel) vans: https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | For Dual Rear Wheel vans, tire options are even more limited. The factory tire size is narrower than the SRW vans, at 195/75-R16 (RWD) or 205/75-R16 (AWD). Because of this, the front wheel clearance is not a problem but the limiting factor is space between the rear wheels. [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Groupthink for DRW owners looking for a little more ground clearance, lift and traction off pavement is a **215/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Owners have reported mixed results with these tire sizes, with some fitting acceptably and some not. Some owners have reported that the **Toyo Open Country A/T III** or the **Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac** both run slightly narrow, which is advantageous for fitting the DRW rims. [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lifting ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The AWD Ford Transit cannot be lifted very much. [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Beginning with the 2023 model year, Ford began offering the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | The RWD Transit offers more options. | ||
+ | |||
+ | //Note: The differences in all of these options are how the front end of the van is raised; raising the back end of the van is done the same in all situations (using blocks/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Stiffer Springs & Strut spacers** | ||
+ | * Cost [[https:// | ||
+ | * Pros: Cheap | ||
+ | * Cons: Messes up the suspension geometry. Puts more stress on the ball joints which might lead to early failures. Narrows the front end track slightly, and alters the suspension movement range. Can lead to strange or wayward handling, especially on bumpy sections because the wheel has less rebound travel available. Also results in the front wheels being more likely to lose contact with the ground when on very rough terrain. | ||
+ | * Can result in expensive damage to AWD vans (see above). | ||
+ | * Some of the lift kits for AWD vans are slightly less than 2" which should theoretically prevent the CV joint from binding, however it is still being used very close to the limits of its range of motion for extended periods of time. This can make failures more likely. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Replacement Control Arms** | ||
+ | * Cost: [[https:// | ||
+ | * Pros: Maintains proper steering angle, suspension geometry, and wheel path travel. | ||
+ | * Cons: More expensive to buy, and more complicated to install. Bushings may not be serviceable, | ||
+ | * Can result in expensive damage to AWD vans (see above). | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Lift Spindles** | ||
+ | * Cost: [[https:// | ||
+ | * Pros: Largest possible lift, gives maximum clearance in between the front wheels. Raises the van by 3", and can be combined with replacement control arms to give a total of **5" of lift**. | ||
+ | * Cons: Expensive. Requires swapping out the ball joints, adding additional cost and difficulty to installation. | ||
+ | * Cannot be installed on AWD vans | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Sub-Frame Drop** | ||
+ | * Cost: [[https:// | ||
+ | * Pros: The only proper way to lift a factory AWD van that will not result in potential damage to the CV joint. The entire suspension system is unchanged, making any potential maintenance or warranty work from Ford much easier to accomplish. Handling will be identical to factory. | ||
+ | * Cons: Very expensive and still only gives a 2" lift. Needs to be professionally installed by approved installers. Doesn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Airbag Lift ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mostly useful for Extended body vans which easily scrape the rear bumper on the ground due to the very long overhang. | ||
+ | ==== Awnings ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Low and medium roof Transits will need an awning that is mounted to the roof or a roof rack, taking advantage of the factory roof rack mounts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | High roof Transits typically use a wall-mounted awning to the side of the van. This will require drilling holes in the van body. [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Roof Fan ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Transit' | ||
+ | |||
+ | To compensate for this, you need to use an adapter plate such as made by DIYVan: https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Windows ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Windows can be added to a cargo van for additional light, ventilation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Windows are a //huge// source of heat loss or heat gain in the summer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Replacing factory windows is a pain in the butt.** The factory windows are glued in, making them difficult to remove without scratching up the paint. Some people find it easier to simply break the factory windows (covering them with sticky tape first to minimize the mess), but using an oscillating saw and wire cutting kit it is possible to get them out intact. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Installation of aftermarket windows into cargo vans without factory windows is similar in difficulty to installing a roof vent (probably easier as you don't have to climb up onto the roof) and can be DIYed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you are adding windows to get some additional ventilation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Aftermarket windows offer larger opening areas and sometimes have integrated screens. [[https:// | ||
+ | ==== Aux heater/Fuel Line ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | While Ford does offer the factory option of an auxiliary fuel line pick up intended for use by aftermarket devices that need to draw fuel from the gas tank, this line is too wide to be used with low flowing devices such as [[hvac: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Instructions for removal of the tank and sender for installation of a smaller line can be found here: https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Headliner shelf ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A convenient stash spot for mid and high roof vans. If you have the factory headliner storage cubbies, some brackets will allow you to make your own larger shelf above the factory ones. https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Locking Differentials ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some have had success when installing the [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Air lockers are available, but then require installing an air compressor system into the van as well. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Rear Sway Bar ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The passenger vans and all dual-rear-wheel vans come with rear sway bars, but the single-rear-wheel cargo and crew vans don't. Sway bars fight the tendency of the rear wheels to move independently of each other, and prevents the van from leaning as much in corners. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Adding a sway bar isn't difficult, but is made much easier with a lift. The following parts will be needed: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * Stabilizer Bar – CK4Z-5A772-D x1 | ||
+ | * Stabilizer Link – BK3Z-5C486-A x2 | ||
+ | * Stabilizer Bar Bushing – GK2Z-5493-B x2 | ||

+ | ===== Quirks ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sections of the van body above the doors (and parts of the chassis) are made from boron steel, which is incredibly strong and difficult to drill into. Unless you have a lot of patience and some very specialized drill bits((Cobalt drill bits are a good start)), it's best to avoid trying to drill into these sections. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | //From the BEMM (Body Equipment Mounting Manual)// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Transit is uni-body, meaning that not all frame/body locations have a reliable and solid path back to a ground. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To avoid these problems, always use one of the grounding points as supplied and recommended by Ford: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | Other quirks: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The brake pedal is ~2" higher than the gas pedal. | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * The rear shock mounts hang strangely low off of the rear axle and can easily be damaged when in bumpy off-pavement situations. | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * The factory AWD system can [[https:// | ||
+ | * This isn't a problem, so much as [[rv:awd|an inherent limitation of AWD]]. | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * The High Roof model is //really freaking tall// at 9' | ||
+ | * This is too tall to fit through most drive throughs. Vans with damages to the front roof line are common due to people smacking them into stuff; make sure to inspect this area very carefully when buying a used van to check for evidence of repairs. | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * The Transit Trail (available from 2023 onwards) is electronically speed limited to 81mph | ||
+ | * This is due to the factory 3.5" lift and off-road oriented tires. | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * The vans have a high parasitic draw, Ford claims 50ma but some have measured higher. | ||
+ | * Especially on newer vans with lots of electronics and cellular modem/ | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * The Extended-length vans have a very long rear overhang which makes it very susceptible to dragging the rear end on the ground when going over even small incline change, especially if equipped with the factory tow hitch. | ||
+ | * For owners looking for more rear end ground clearance but still need a hitch receiver, and [[https:// | ||

+ | * The 2020+ vans have " | ||
+ | * To get around this, chargers such as the Renogy DCC50S use a signal wire. [[https:// | ||
+ | * OEM backup camera is mounted low and in a rear door, limiting usefulness in 2019 and earlier vnas.((https:// | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * The rear brake pads wear out very quickly, with some users reporting 20,000 miles in between changes. | ||
+ | * This isn't a defect as much as it is an intentional design decision; in order to reduce front-end dive under braking, the Transit directs most of the initial braking force to the (smaller) rear brakes and only uses the front ones in harder stop situations. | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * The Power Sliding Door (an option from 2020 onward) will close very slowly if left open for more than 2 minutes. This is intentional as a safety decision from Ford. | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * The Power Sliding Door will not operate if the vehicle battery level drops below ~80% and the van is not running. | ||
+ | * This is fairly easy to achieve as the door takes a lot of power, and some owners have reported that it will drain the battery to this level after as few as ~10 cycles with the engine off. Therefor it is //highly// recommended that owners ordering a van with a power sliding door should also order the dual battery option. | ||
