Versatile cargo van
Just because you’re driving a cargo van doesn’t mean you don’t want amenities. One of the best things about the 2023 Ford Transit 150 is the multitude of options and configurations coupled with available high-tech features. In addition to solid road manners, you can put some pep in your step by upgrading to the optional 310-hp, 3.5L V6 turbo or looking for all-wheel drive. Whether you need to parallel park on city streets or fit inside a garage, there’s a configuration for that too. The 2023 Ford Transit 150 offers low- and medium-roof options as well as lengths ranging from 219.9 inches to 263.9 inches. Plus, if you’re looking for a touch of luxury, this cargo van has it.

5 reasons to buy the 2023 Ford Transit 150
1. Tackle winter
The 2023 Ford Transit 150 comes standard as a rear-wheel-drive van, but if you live in a northern or midwestern region, you’ll be happy to know that all-wheel drive is available. Another available winter-ready feature you’ll love: heated seats. Additional available features that help make the Transit 150 winter-worthy are automatic rain-sensing wipers, wiper-activated headlamps, side-wind stabilization, and all-weather floor mats.
2. Configured for you
There isn’t just one size cargo van that works for all people, so the 2023 Ford Transit 150 gives you options. Don’t want to crabwalk into the cargo area to grab your tools, opt for the max-height medium roof of 67.6 inches. Spend a lot of time parallel parking or fitting into urban garages? With a minimum length of 219.9 inches, you should fit in most garages and parking lots with the regular-length option. But if space isn’t a problem, max out at 263.9 inches with the Long-EL version.
3. Good towing capacity
The base engine is a 275-hp, 3.5L V6, which is more than enough for your daily needs. This V6 power on the 2023 Transit 150 means you get an estimated maximum towing capacity of 6,800 lbs on low-roof models when properly equipped.
4. Add a touch of luxury
Even though this is a cargo van, you can still get a lot of modern tech here. Look out for the Sync® 4 infotainment system, you’ll not only get a 12-inch touchscreen but also add wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration as well as connected navigation.
5. Upfit it
In many ways, a 2023 Ford Transit 150 is like a blank canvas. The Upfitter Package includes high-capacity upfitter switches, a large center console, and an auxiliary fuse panel with a high-spec interface connector to help you create whatever you want. The Transit Trail Package allows you to create the canvas for an overlanding vehicle. Then there are RV, Ambulance, and Parcel Delivery packages that transform the utility to true functionality. Keep an eye out for the one that suits your needs.
