Performance & Capability Built for the North

Under the hood of this Oxford White powerhouse sits the EcoBoost 3.5L V-6 gasoline direct injection engine. Featuring twin turbos and DOHC variable valve control, this engine delivers a robust 300HP, providing the muscle required to move heavy loads through the gently rolling hills of our region. The 10-Speed Automatic with Overdrive ensures smooth power delivery, whether you are accelerating onto the highway or navigating stop-and-go traffic.

What truly sets this Transit-350 apart for Michigan drivers is the All Wheel Drive system. This automatic full-time AWD setup, paired with a Mechanical limited slip differential, offers essential traction when the lake-effect weather turns unpredictable. The suspension is engineered for durability, utilizing an Independent front suspension with struts and a Rigid axle rear suspension with leaf springs to maintain stability under load. For those who need to bring extra equipment along, the Tow/Haul Mode selectable mode transmission and Trailer sway control make every journey safer and more controlled.

Advanced Technology & Connectivity

Staying connected while on the move is vital for any modern business. The 2026 Transit-350 features the SYNC 4 system with Enhanced Voice Recognition, allowing you to manage your day without taking your hands off the urethane steering wheel. The cabin is anchored by a massive 12 inch primary display touchscreen, which serves as the hub for the Connected Navigation system. This integrated navigation includes voice activation, ensuring you find the quickest route to your next job site in Kingsley, MI, or anywhere else your work takes you.

Integration is seamless thanks to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless mirroring. With Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity and Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, you can take calls from clients or listen to your favorite podcasts between stops. The vehicle also features a Ford Connect 5G mobile hotspot, keeping your laptop or tablet online even when you are parked at a remote job site.

Comfort & Interior Functionality

The interior of this van is a masterclass in utility and driver comfort, featuring Dark Palazzo Gray Cloth upholstery and Front Bucket Seats. The driver benefits from Manual driver seat lumbar support and a 4-way directional control seat to stay comfortable during long shifts. The cabin is designed for organization, offering Overhead console storage, a Locking glove box, and Full floor coverage with easy-to-clean vinyl/rubber materials.

Efficiency extends to the cargo area, which is separated by a Bulkhead w/lockable door for security and noise reduction. The Split swing-out rear cargo door features a 253 degree opening, allowing for easy loading in tight spaces. Inside, the Supplemental cargo area lighting ensures you can find your tools even after the sun goes down. Additional conveniences like Remote start, Power first-row windows, and Manual climate control make the daily grind significantly more pleasant.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is paramount when you are behind the wheel of a large commercial vehicle. The 2026 Transit-350 is equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360, which includes a Forward collision mitigation system with Intersection Assist. The Lane-Keeping System helps keep you centered during long drives, while the Driver Alert monitor detects signs of fatigue. Parking and maneuvering are made simpler with Front and rear parking sensors and an Exterior Parking Camera Rear.

In the event of an unavoidable situation, the van is protected by a comprehensive 6 airbag system, including the Safety Canopy System for overhead protection. The Post-Collision Braking system automatically applies the brakes after an impact to help prevent secondary collisions. For those utilizing the towing capabilities, the integrated Trailer brake controller provides precise stopping power for your trailer.

Exterior Design & Utility

The Oxford White exterior is accented by a professional Black grille and Black front and rear bumpers. This van sits on 16 inch Silver Steel wheels with Silver Hubcaps, providing a classic and durable look. Visibility is enhanced by High-intensity discharge (HID) low and high beam headlights and Auto High Beam technology, which automatically adjusts to oncoming traffic.

The HD Trailer Tow Package includes a Class III tow rating, a Trailer hitch, and a Trailer wiring harness, making this van ready for heavy-duty hauling from day one. Rain sensing wipers and Light tinted windows add to the functional exterior features, ensuring you have a clear view of the road regardless of the weather conditions in northern Michigan.
