Ford says that America’s best-selling van, the Ford Transit, is even better for the 2016 model year—with the addition of available SYNC 3, rearview camera technology and new customization options.
SYNC 3. Ford’s new communications and entertainment system features faster performance, more conversational voice recognition, a more innovative smartphone-like touch screen, and easier-to-understand graphical interface to help Ford customers connect on the road.
Rearview camera. Rearview camera and trailer hitch assist technology are standard equipment. Trailer hitch assist automatically engages when the vehicle is shifted into reverse and displays a graphical overlay on the screen that helps guide drivers to line up a hitch with a trailer. Additionally, 2016 Transit cutaway and chassis cab customers will have the option to display the area behind the vehicle on the rearview mirror.
Other key features and improves of the 2016 Ford Transit van include:
- Dual sliding side cargo doors also will be available for the first time on Ford Transit medium- and high-roof vans
- Fleet customers can add an available speed limitation feature that caps top speed at 70 mph
- Auxiliary fuse panels are optional on all Transit variants to power custom upfit accessories or other implements
- Single absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery – designed for drivers who need to power extra lights or equipment – is optional on all gas engines
- Flexible-fuel vehicle system will be standard on 2016 Transit Connect vans with 2.5-liter I-4 engines destined for non-California emissions states
