New Ford Transit Cargo Van For Sale in Pottsville, PA
Frequently Asked Questions about the Ford Transit Cargo Van in Pottsville, PA
What engines are available in the new Ford Transit Cargo Van?
The Ford Transit Cargo Van offers two powerful 3.5L engine choices: the standard 3.5L PFDi V6 producing 275 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, and the available 3.5L EcoBoost® twin-turbo V6 generating 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Both powertrains are matched to a heavy-duty 10-speed automatic transmission designed to haul heavy payloads across Route 61 and climb steep Schuylkill County grades.
What are the cargo volume and payload capacities of the Transit Cargo Van?
Depending on your choice of roof height (Low, Medium, High) and body length (Regular, Long, Extended), the Transit Cargo Van offers between 246.7 and an expansive 487.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Maximum payload capacities exceed 5,000 lbs on properly configured Transit 350 models, providing ample strength for equipment, pallets, shelving, and commercial tools.
Can I get All-Wheel Drive (AWD) on the Transit Cargo Van?
Yes, Ford's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is available on both gas engine options. The system monitors road surface traction and automatically transfers torque to the wheels with the best grip without raising the floor height or loading step-in level—a vital feature for Pennsylvania winter driving and rough commercial jobsites.
Is the Ford Transit Cargo Van easy to upfit for commercial trades?
Yes, the Transit Cargo Van is built specifically for vocational upfitting. It features near-vertical interior sidewalls, reinforced pre-drilled mounting points, and available dual AGM heavy-duty batteries with auxiliary fuse panels. Whether you need trade packages for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, delivery courier services, or general contracting, the Transit accommodates shelving, ladder racks, and bulkheads seamlessly.
What driver-assist and safety features are included?
Standard Ford Co-Pilot360® safety technologies include Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Forward Collision Warning, Lane-Keeping System, and Post-Collision Braking. Available options include Blind Spot Assist with Cross-Traffic Alert and trailer coverage, Side Sensing System, and a high-resolution 360-Degree Camera with split-view display.

- Will your routes throughout central PA benefit from available Intelligent AWD during winter snow and icy road conditions?
