5 reasons to buy the 2018 Ford Transit 350

1. Body style options 

Look out for the configuration that best suits your business needs or community requirements. Mix and match from three roof heights and two body lengths to identify the right 2018 Transit 350 for your cargo or passenger needs. From navigating low-rise cargo loading bays to collecting passengers fresh off a flight, the 2018 Transit 350 serves you well, whatever the mission. 

2. Passenger wagon setup 

For community group outings or your growing business enterprise, the 2018 Transit 350 can be configured as a passenger transport wagon. Providing seating for 12 across four rows or accommodating up to 15 across five rows, your crew can enjoy the ease of traveling together in one vehicle. Need more space for luggage? The 2018 Transit 350 has the option of an extended body style that adds up to 100.5 cu-ft of cargo space behind the fifth row. 

3. Powertrain availability 

When it comes to engine options, the 2018 Transit 350 doesn't disappoint. Choose the standard 3.7L V6 for an agreeably robust output on everyday driving duties. Pick one of the two available upgraded engine options for more performance power when you need it most. The twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 packs a punch when you need it, while the 3.2L turbo diesel option is comfortable for long drives. 

4. XLT wagon trim 

Look out for the XLT trim for enhanced comfort and convenience for your passengers. For a cozier ride experience, they can enjoy cloth seat upholstery and rear auxiliary air conditioning and heating. Additional rear-row lighting offers easier visibility for reading maps, books, and tickets, while the upgraded audio system adds further speakers for more musical enjoyment. 

5. Bright exterior paint 

For professionals looking to deliver a classy, low-key service, choose a 2018 Transit 350 in Stone Gray, Magnetic, or Shadow Black. To gain attention at trade shows or local events, you could choose a model in Race Red, Blue Jeans, or School Bus Yellow for maximum attention and to draw a crowd. It's easy to find a Transit that fits your needs and the style of your brand.
