What Makes the 2027 Ford Transit Worth a Closer Look Near Newark

Notable Features of the 2027 Ford Transit

Two V6 Engines and Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive

Every 2027 Transit Passenger Van pairs a 10-speed transmission with either the 3.5L PFDi V6 or the available 3.5L EcoBoost V6. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and the available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is integrated so it doesn't raise the floor or seat height. We point drivers toward AWD for wet and snowy mornings around Elizabeth with a full van.

• 3.5L EcoBoost V6: 300 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque
• 3.5L PFDi V6: 275 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque
• Up to 4,500 lbs of towing with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package

Seating for 15 and Space Behind the First Row

The Transit Passenger Van seats up to 15, and the XLT adds 10-way power heated seats for the driver and front passenger. Our customers can choose Dark Palazzo Gray Vinyl, Dark Palazzo Gray Cloth, or Ebony Cloth upholstery. For daily runs around North Jersey or full-roster weekend trips, the space behind the first row goes a long way.

• Seating for up to 15 passengers
• 461.9 cu ft of space behind the first row
• 10-way power-heated front seats on XLT

SYNC 4, a 12-Inch Display, and Ford Co-Pilot360

SYNC 4 runs on a 12-inch center display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, backed by an 8-inch digital instrument cluster. The Ford Connectivity Package comes with one year of 5G Wi-Fi hotspot service for up to 10 devices plus Connected Navigation, which we find helps when shuttling passengers to and from Morristown. The XLT adds adaptive cruise control.

• Standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
• Standard Lane-Keeping System and front and rear parking sensors
• BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, standard on XLT

New for 2027: Changes to the Ford Transit

For 2027, Ford focused its update on protecting the van itself. The Ford Security Package is now available on the Transit, adding theft protection that matters for a vehicle that may sit in a lot overnight or spend the day moving between pickup points. We bring this package up with buyers early, since a passenger van is often something a business, school, or large family relies on every single day of the week.

• Ford Security Package now available
• Theft alerts
• Remote vehicle lockdown
• Recovery services

What Elizabeth-Area Drivers Get Out of the 2027 Transit

For our customers in Elizabeth, the Transit offers room for a full group along with standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and a Lane-Keeping System. Team and shuttle trips out of Newark benefit from the EcoBoost V6's 400 lb-ft of torque when every seat is filled. Drivers running longer routes from Morristown can add the 31-gallon extended range tank, and the available Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package handles up to 4,500 lbs.
