In line with ’s long-standing ethics policy, editors and reviewers don’t accept gifts or free trips from automakers. It’s meant to be loaded up with people and stuff, with a payload rating of 2,440 pounds if you filled it to that limit, the fuel economy would understandably decrease.Īlas, your mileage may vary, but for a 10-passenger people hauler, the starting point of 17 mpg combined is impressive.Ĭars.com’s Editorial department is your source for automotive news and reviews. It should be noted that the Transit achieved this result without any passengers - and being a 10-passenger van, this is likely a rare condition for such a beast.

For ’s fuel economy testing, we put the windows up, air conditioning on and ensure the tires are properly inflated to manufacturer’s specs. My fuel economy route is a little more than 200 miles of combined urban stop-and-go traffic, suburban lower-speed side roads and highway-speed distance cruising. That’s actually better than the 16 mpg that the AWD Transit is rated to get in combined fuel economy. After the driving loop, I refilled the Transit-150 with 11.734 gallons of gasoline, which calculates out to 17.6 mpg combined over that distance. The total distance covered in my driving loop was 206.8 miles, for which the Transit’s computer said I earned an 18.1-mpg combined fuel economy rating. A Chevrolet Suburban isn’t much better: It’s rated at 15/22/18 mpg for a 5.3-liter RWD model down to 14/21/16 mpg for a 6.2-liter AWD model.ĮPA fuel economy numbers aren’t available for the Transit-250 and 350 models. Yikes.īy comparison, a Ford Expedition Max comes only with a twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 (the same one that’s optional in the Transit) and is rated at 17/23/19 mpg city/highway/combined for RWD and 16/21/18 mpg for AWD, only about 2 mpg better across the board than a Transit with the base engine. It’s a flex-fuel engine too, so you can put E85 ethanol in the tank, but I wouldn’t recommend it as E85 fuel drops fuel economy to 11/15/12 mpg for RWD and 11/14/12 mpg for AWD.

It has a fuel-economy rating of 15/19/17 mpg city/highway/combined for the rear-wheel-drive model, and 14/19/16 mpg for the all-wheel-drive version. The EPA-estimated fuel economy rating for the Transit is only available for the basic short-length Transit-150 with the standard 3.5-liter engine (the turbocharged 3.5-liter is not rated). (The diesel option in previous Transits is no longer offered.) Both engines are mated to a standard 10-speed automatic transmission, with a variety of available final drive ratios depending on whether you plan on doing any towing or not.

Two powertrains are also available: The base engine (which my truck featured) is a 3.5-liter V-6 making 275 horsepower and 262 pounds-feet of torque, while the upgrade is a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 making 310 hp and 400 pounds-feet of torque. Three degrees of “heavy duty” are available: the Transit-150, 250 or 350, depending on how much you want to be able to carry and tow. The Transit passenger van can be had in three lengths, three roof heights, rear- or all-wheel drive, and two trims: XL or XLT. I tested a 2020 Ford Transit-150 XL AWD, a short-wheelbase, medium-roof, 10-passenger model.
