 The stock van offered in North America is RWD, but can be ordered as [[rv:awd|AWD]] from the factory starting with the 2020 model year. It is available in a dual-rear-wheel (DRW) for GVRWs of 9,950lbs and above.
+Beginning in 2023, Ford began offering a "Trail" package for the AWD Transit, which comes with a 2" factory lift and larger tires that combine to offer a 3.5" increased ride height over the standard van. It comes with an electronic speed limit of 81mph.((https://www.fordtransitusaforum.com/threads/ford-transit-trail-owners-and-future-buyers-81-mph-limiter.97876/#replies))

 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.

 ==== 4-wheel-drive ====
--wheel-drive conversions are offered by [[https://quadvan.com/|Quadvan]] or [[https://www.quigley4x4.com/products/ford-transit/|Quigly Vans]]. The Quigly 4WD system has been approved by Ford, and if installed when new Ford will honor the full factory warranty on all non-Quigly components of your van. Expect to pay ~$15,000 to have a stock RWD van converted to 4-wheel-drive.
+-wheel-drive conversions are offered by [[https://quadvan.com/|Quadvan]] or [[https://www.quigley4x4.com/products/ford-transit/|Quigly Vans]] on 2019 and earlier Transits. They cannot be fit to the 2020 and newer vans, as the 10-speed transmission doesn't give enough room for a proper transfer case.

   * The High Roof model is //really freaking tall// at 9'3" in factory spec.
     * 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.
