It is one of the most customizable vans out there with its versatile array of engine, wheelbase, roof height, and seating occupancy configurations. The Ford Transit Passenger Van is a more than favorable option within the scope of the full-size passenger-van segment. Maneuverability is the Transit's greatest weakness - as it is with any large van - but in the smaller wheelbase offerings, the Transit is surprisingly nimble, especially compared to dated rivals like the Ram ProMaster and Nissan NV. However, road feel and tire position are communicated surprisingly well through the steering wheel which, along with accurate steering responses, cedes some level of confidence to the driver. The suspension is tuned soft for a mostly comfortable and compliant ride, which does, however, mean that while minor road imperfections and typical everyday undulations are handled suitably, a lot of body roll is exhibited around corners.
