The standard 3.7L V6 delivers responsive performance with 275 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, along with impressive efficiency, thanks to twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT) technology. 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.
Every Transit engine gets a 6-speed SelectShift® transmission designed for low-end acceleration and high-end efficiency. 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.
The available EcoBoost® engine is amazingly power-efficient. Displacing 3.5 liters, the EcoBoost generates 310 horsepower and has a best-in-class maximum gas torque rating of 400 lb.-ft. What makes this possible are the combined technologies of direct injection and turbocharging. Direct injection (DI) delivers a precise, fine mist of fuel directly into each cylinder, unlike conventional port fuel injection that sprays into the intake system. DI is designed to extract as much power as possible from every drop of fuel. Turbochargers kick in on demand to 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. The turbochargers and direct injection combine to produce impressive torque output early in the rpm range.
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 that puts out 185 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque. This B20 biodiesel-capable Transit engine option is designed to help give you the right balance of power and efficiency, plus proven Ford diesel ruggedness and dependability. With the available manual regen initiation feature, you don’t have to drive at cruising speed to get the engine temperature high enough to initiate regeneration, the process of burning off soot from exhaust gases trapped in the diesel particulate filter (DPF). While the engine is idling, you can activate manual regen initiation to raise the exhaust gas temperature to burn off the soot. After the burn-off is completed, the exhaust temperature reverts to its normal level.
Compressed natural gas (CNG) and propane autogas are becoming increasingly popular choices for those looking to reduce emissions. That’s why the 3.7L V6-powered Transit offers the CNG/Propane Gaseous Engine Prep Package.Transit-en-power-one Included are hardened exhaust valves and valve seats for improved wear resistance and durability for gaseous fuel systems.
