Although you will have to leave your passengers behind when using this feature, that’s a pretty standard compromise in small vans with this capability.Īfter the 2018 facelift the bulkhead flap became an option, as Ford switched to a single front passenger seat as standard the load-through function relies on the dual passenger seat.ĭCiV models use a movable metal mesh bulkhead, while the Kombi doesn’t have a bulkhead at all, as it will generally be full of people, not parts.įord only offers the option of deleting the bulkhead on entry-level models, though all Transit Connects can be upgraded with a glazed section if rear visibility is important. Until the 2018 facelift, Trend specification vans and above also got a load-through flap in the bulkhead as standard, making it possible to slot in longer items such as pipes and planks.

We’ve more details on maximum weight in the Payload and Towing section below. Top of the tree here are the Ford Transit Connect High Payload models, offered in both bodylengths. Not only do you get a choice of short and long wheelbases – SWB and LWB, respectively – resulting in L1 and L2 bodylengths, there are also five different gross vehicle weights (GVW, also known as gross vehicle mass or GVM by Ford), which means there’s a wide range of payload options as well. The Ford Transit Connect may be a small van, but it remains impressively practical for its size. ![]()
