Power-efficient engines for the cost-conscious business.
The Transit offers a line of three powerful engines designed to meet the challenge of operating at high performance while helping keep costs as low as possible. First is the standard 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 with advanced twin independent variable cam timing. Then there’s the available 3.5L EcoBoost® and the proven 3.2L I-5 Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel that combines power plus Built Ford Tough® durability and dependability.
3.7L Ti-VCT V6
The standard 3.7L V6 delivers responsive performance with 275 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque.
Intake and exhaust valves typically have to open and close at a fixed point, compromising performance. But Ti-VCT virtually eliminates this compromise. With its variable control of valve cam timing, Ti-VCT can optimize performance across the entire range of the power band to match the driving condition of the moment.
With the 3.7L engine, Ford offers an available CNG/Propane Gaseous Engine Prep Package for power conversion to compressed natural gas (CNG) or propane autogas.
3.5L EcoBoost® V6
Displacing 3.5 liters, this available EcoBoost V6 generates 310 horsepower and has a best-inclass* V6/V8 maximum gas torque rating of 400 lb.-ft. What makes this possible is the combination of direct injection and turbocharging. Direct injection (DI) delivers a precise, fine mist of fuel directly into each cylinder, where it’s designed to extract as much power as possible from every drop of fuel. Turbochargers provide a surge of responsive power when needed. The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 uses two small turbochargers that spool up to their operating speeds quickly.

6-Speed Automatic Overdrive with SelectShift®
Every Transit engine gets a 6-speed SelectShift® transmission designed for low-end acceleration and high-end performance. And SelectShift gives you two modes of operation to choose from: Progressive Range Select lets you toggle on the shift lever to reduce the range of available gears while in Drive. Or choose Full Manual function that lets you pull the shift lever into “M” for manual mode and use the same toggle switch to select the gear desired.*
3.2L I-5 Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel
Severe-duty applications like courier and transport duty call for an engine to run many hours a day under constant idling and stop-and-go conditions. The answer: the available direct-injected 3.2L Power Stroke® inline I-5 Turbo Diesel. This B20 biodiesel-capable Transit engine option is designed to help give you the right balance of power and performance, plus proven Ford diesel ruggedness and dependability.
