How Big Is A Ford Transit Van?

It has a shape that most of us can identify in seconds, so it's about as recognisable as four-wheeled transport gets. Along with the Mini, original Land Rover and VW Beetle, the Ford Transit family of vans is an icon of our roads, even if the brand is no longer made in Britain. And, more than 50 years since it was launched, the Transit is still the biggest-selling vehicle of its type across Europe. So it's a model that continues to offer excellent value, and it's known for its reliability.

 

But would one work for your business? It's understandable that you would be wondering about the dimensions of these models, especially if you're transporting goods from one place to another and want to know how much you can comfortably carry in your vehicle.

 

Here, we offer a guide to the different measurements of the various Ford Transit models:

At the more compact end of the spectrum, our Ford Transit Connect still offers a decent amount of space.

Ford Transit Courier

This is the 'baby' of the Transit range, but still packs a punch with a compact package and more carrying space than you may have thought. Available in three trims, it only comes as a two-seater. First sold in 2013, the Ford Transit Courier was freshened up in 2019. It's ideal for getting around town, and if you need something that's a doddle to park.
