These Transits are a must for Car Detailers on the West & East coast. They are high in demand. Very hard to find in Az.

So true, I've seen some pretty cool Connect builds! It kind of sucks that Ford is most likely fully discontinuing after 2023

In a few year I'm planning to get one of these types of cargo vans for hauling camping and astronomy gear. While the passenger version has more driver comfort options, I like having the empty cargo area. Also having no seats to remove and find something to do with.

@CarsWithSteve I've been watching the camper builds. My Van World KZitem has an active build going right now. I want to use my current 2012 Equinox for at least 3-4 years before getting a van. Guess with Ford discontinuing the Transit, going to have see if it's replaced with something else. It would be sad if they don't replace it.

My Van World is great! I'm hoping they keep it available in North America.. building it on the same platform as the Escape and Bronco Sport would be really neat

Thanks for the video. It is is *maddening* to me Ford kills off the Transit while jumping head first into EVs and losing billions. There is a HUGE pent up demand out there for utilitarian cargo and small delivery vehicles like this. Front wheel drive is a bonus. Even if it was widely available now, which its NOT, I would now hesitate to buy the last year model of a vehicle for limitations in future repair & parts. The handling of this make & model is a microcosm of why Ford is in the sorry condition it is.

You're welcome! I agree with you 100% on that one. Sales numbers year over year were down but it was also next to impossible to get one of these vans so the smaller numbers make sense. Ford was talking about moving the Transit Connect to the Escape/Bronco Sport/Maverick platform so I'm hoping those plans end up actually happening.. it would be a shame to see this thing get killed off. There aren't many options in the market for people who need a vehicle this size

I drive one these an 2023 model, but the headlights is just rubbish, is there any way that they can replace with better light bulbs?

Sylvania has an LED headlamp you could replace the factory halogen with. Should be the H11 bulb

Is this the same as the UK "Trend" spec? And does the UK have the same infotainment screen ? Greetings from Scotland 😊

Hey Robert, wild the video found you from this side of the world. The Ford UK website doesn't have all the same items listed but it would be fairly close to the Trend model. It looks like there's the option for the larger Sync3 screen - a UK dealer has a Transit Connect Trend in stock with Sync3 listed 🤔

anytime, good to hear you're finding the videos useful! If it has the smaller screen I have a few videos on other Ford models that walk through how to use it

It's going to start getting tricky to find these things new, especially with production supposed to get ending after 2023.. Used are still available though!

Not many Transits at all to choose from and finding one with how you want it is next to impossible and you cannot order them anymore , so talking about all this is pretty useless. It cant help me. Thx

Yeah it’s unfortunately tricky to find them because of demand. Transit Connect will be hard to find me but the full size you’re within a year to get one
