From my discussions with the Ford Transit Brand Group, once they start with the builds on the CrewVan models, they will build a large number of them together. Looking at a number like 20 to 25 together since the platform for the second row seat and the overhead air bags over that seat will be a specific operation unlike any others on the assembly line.
What I would like to get on this thread are any buyers for the 2020 Ford Transit CrewVan model. What I need here is the following information:
Weight capacity...T-150, T-250, T-350, or T-350HD Body style...Low, Medium, or High roof Engine...2.0L Diesel, 3.5L V-6, or 3.5L EcoBoost Rear Axle ratio & open or limited slip Seat selection as far a Vinyl, Cloth, or Leather Bulkhead behind the second row seat or NO Bulkhead
This is a projection for placing orders. If we can get a good number of the CrewVan orders together, they will build them as a group rather than wait for more orders to accumulate with other dealers and build them later.
I already have one in mine to order using the T-250 MR, 3.5L EcoBoost, 3.73 L/S, Leather seating, and NO Bulkhead.
Just like they currently do with building the same body styles together as a group, Ford will place the CrewVan orders together since the parts used for that build will be the same as far as the interior pieces.
CrewCab is the front 3 passenger seat and you can't get a second row seat with that option. CrewVan is the only option to get the second row seat. it is basically taking out the current passenger seat and inserting the 31" 2 passenger seat that comes in the rear of the 12 passenger van.
If you can located a 12 passenger Transit van, look at that 2 passenger rear seat and that is what you get in the CrewCab option for the passenger seat.
I am hoping the AWD model will be available at the first order point for the CrewVan package. My plan is to get ALL of the ones who want a CrewVan and place orders together hoping the AWD will get built out with the CrewVan Package if ordered. They may have a area outside the main plant facility where they take the Transits to be upfitted for the CrewVan package so it would be taking those selected Transits to get finished out.
T250
HR
3.5 V6 - although I don’t know enough about it to make the call. Just want better mileage
AWD
Most fuel efficient axel ratio
Limited slip
No bulkhead
Cloth
I really just want the window arrangement for the crew van and the interior trim for the sliding door. Van will most likley go to Explorer Van for the seats and interior. (They do not do sliding doors on the low roofs yet?)
T150 Low Roof
Diesel
Limited Slip 3.31
No Bulkhead and no rear seat (or it can be removed at the dealership)
Swivel Seats - cloth
Flip-out 2nd row windows
Power sliding door
All the goodies including forward collision mitigation and interior tech features and 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
Question: Will the Crew Van have the rear sway bar and the wagon?
Hope to keep adding more buyers on the 2020 Ford Transit with the CrewVan package. There have been a lot of forum members placing their desires here and keeping this out there with more input may get a large run of these vans built early in the production runs.
NO word on either one separately or together yet. July 17th is supposed to be the release date and hope to have something before that time. We may only see the CrewVan option first if Ford goes through with the limited availability on the AWD models.
I have been lurking here for a bit - great info. Thinking about speccing a van (EL, HR, Ecoboost) for a conversion, and would like to get smart on the pricing for a 2020 4WD vs a 2019 (or 2020) 2WD. Couldn't find any price lists yet - is anything available yet?
