 The stock engine is a naturally aspirated V-6 ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Cyclone_engine#3.7_L|3.7L for 2015-2019, 3.5L for 2020+]]), with 3.5L Twin-Turbo Ecoboost and 5cyl diesels available. As of 2022, the diesel is no longer offered and has been replaced with the all-electric E-Transit. The stock engine is a naturally aspirated V-6 ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Cyclone_engine#3.7_L|3.7L for 2015-2019, 3.5L for 2020+]]), with 3.5L Twin-Turbo Ecoboost and 5cyl diesels available.

-The Ecoboost engine in all model years of Transits is the Gen1 engine, and does not have the additional enhancements given to the Gen2 engine found in the F-150 and other consumer vehicles. It has been described as "a torque monster" with first time drivers frequently expressing phrases such as "Oh dear god" and "How is such a big van this fast?!"+The Ecoboost engine in all model years of Transits is the Gen1 engine, and does not have the additional enhancements given to the Gen2 engine found in the F-150 and other consumer vehicles. With 400ft/lbs of torque coming in at just 2,500rpm it is surprisingly punchy and easily motivates even the biggest vans.
  
 Auto-Start-Stop (A.S.S) was mandatory on the engines for 2020-2022, but has been dropped for 2023 due to manufacturing delays and chip shortages. Auto-Start-Stop (A.S.S) was mandatory on the engines for 2020-2022, but has been dropped for 2023 due to manufacturing delays and chip shortages.

 The majority of the holes in the cargo area of the van are 9.38mm in diameter, and usually work well with M6 or 1/4-20 rivnuts. Most Rivnuts from Amazon fit fine, but some rivnuts (most notably from McMaster-Carr) are actually slightly too large and need a full 10mm hole.  The majority of pre-threaded holes are M8x1.25 thread, with a few being M10x1.5.

 While some people have been able to use plusnut into the factory holes, most holes will need to be enlarged slightly.((There's varying reports on this.  Some have reported that 1/4-20s fit easily with a tap, some report that they need to be hammered in or the holes need to be enlarged. The differences may come down to different manufacturing specs from the different makers of plus-nuts.))  While some people have been able to use plusnut into the factory holes, most holes will need to be enlarged slightly.((There's varying reports on this.  Some have reported that 1/4-20s fit easily with a tap, some report that they need to be hammered in or the holes need to be enlarged.
