Get to Know the 2021 Ford Transit Connect

If you’re in the market for a transport van that offers easy accessibility, great handling, and plenty of interior room for passengers and cargo, the 2021 Transit Connect should grab your attention. In addition to having the latest tech and safety features, it can also be customized to fit your business needs. If you’re not yet familiar with this amazing transport vehicle, here’s a brief introduction to the 2021 Ford Transit Connect and some of its key features.

Two Styles With Superior Performance

With the Transit Connect, you can choose between two main models, a cargo or passenger vehicle. Each has its own respective trim styles available. For the cargo van models, you have two trims to choose from: XL and XLT. The passenger wagon models come with three trim choices: XL, XLT, and Titanium.

Both models of the Transit Connect offer either a 2.0-liter or a 2.5-liter engine. The 2.0-liter comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission and 162 horsepower, while the 2.5-liter engine’s transmission is a 6-speed automatic with a bit more horsepower at 169. Both engines are designed to combine performance and fuel economy, with around 25 mpg in combined city and highway driving.

Tow and Transport with Confidence

With the available Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, you’ll be able to tow a 2,000-pound trailer behind this vehicle. Some of the attractive tow-enhancing features included with this package include a frame-mounted hitch receiver for easy hook-ups to trailers and a relay system so your trailer’s lights are connected with the vehicle’s.

If you opt for the Blind Spot Warning System (BLIS), there’s also a trailer add-on available for blind-spot monitoring around the trailer as well. When it comes to cargo loading, moving cargo in and out through either the side or rear door is easy with less than two feet between the vehicle’s underside and the ground.

Innovative Mobile Tech Solutions

As for technology, the Transit Connect offers many cutting-edge features that can make your rides more enjoyable and business tasks simpler. Available features include a 110-volt power inverter and a wireless charging pad, so you’ll have no problems keeping your devices and equipment ready for when you need them.

SYNC 3 is also available, which is an infotainment system that allows you to connect your Android or iPhone to the vehicle while controlling calls, music, and apps with its voice command function. The FordPass Connect option can be particularly useful for drivers who need a Wi-Fi hotspot while out on their routes. It allows you to connect up to 10 different devices at once as long as they’re within a range of 50 feet from the vehicle.

Active Monitoring Safety Features

To stay safe, all 2021 Transit Connects offer a wide range of available and standard safety features, thanks to the Ford Co-Pilot360 package. This group of convenience and safety monitoring features includes both adaptive cruise control and a lane-keeping system, which can work together to keep your vehicle safely within its lane and distanced from other vehicles.

There’s also a pair of auto high-beam headlamps that automatically adjust themselves to different lighting conditions on the road, as well as Pre-Collision Assist, which can detect and alert you to any dangers on the road up ahead. Combine these features with a rear-view camera and a tire pressure monitoring system, and you have a whole suite of hi-tech features that are on the lookout for dangers from all angles.

The 2021 Transit Connect is a stylish transport vehicle that has been designed with capability, advanced safety features, and the latest on-the-go technology for businesses and everyday drivers. To test drive this versatile Ford vehicle, stop by Mission Valley Ford at our San Jose location today.
