Things To Look for in a Passenger Van

When getting behind the wheel on the 2015 Ford Transit 150 XLT passenger van you will be impressed. It has replaced the 1980s era that was severely outdated. This passenger van can take some getting used to as the cab-forward set-up means you are sitting over the engine and completely right at the front of the van. If you are used to driving a different passenger van or even the old E-series it’s a big change that can take some getting used to.

Once you are used to it, it becomes easy to see why they have done that. You are able to see everything going on, the corners of the van which are a problem in the full sized vans. There is a big advantage of the seating position that allows you to turn easier, easier to park and the ability to move through tight corners with ease. This van will leave you satisfied apart from the fact the rear visibility is not so good so be sure to keep an eye out for that when test driving one.

The large windows are certainly something to be on the lookout for as they can help you to see but can be difficult due to the size of the overall van. The engine power is impressive with a base level of 275 horsepower 3.7 liter v6 and certainly seemed to have power for all situations you may come across. The engine is able to handle heavy loads and offers a turbocharged 3.5 liter v6 and also a turbo diesel v6 who have heavy duty cargos constantly.

The 2015 ford transit was intended to be a cargo van, however seats were added in the oncoming years to allow for group tours and school groups. It even suits big families to be used as a minivan.

It has the drawback of only a rear door on the passenger side that can make it hard for children to climb in and out of the seating at the back.

The climate control system does have some blind spots which can be a little disappointing when It comes trying to head the entire cabin which can take a longer time than you may expect. The climate control does offer warm air that will help to reach the back to keep everyone comfortable.

The 2015 model seems to suit well in terms of performance, maneuverability and visibility. Even without flaws the van seems well suited for passenger carrying options for organizations or groups of people rather than everyday use by families.

There is really no downfalls to this type of passenger van it has the power and everything else it needs.

It has a modern interior look, very fuel efficient powertrain and offers a diesel option. The latest Sync 3 infotainment system and impressive front end styling. Newer models have a rearview camera on all vans, front dome lamps, theater dimming and even map lights.

This is a vehicle that has more features to look for rather than downfalls hence why it is a popular model.
