The What Van? Road Test: Ford E-Transit (2022)
Date: Monday, April 3, 2023
Load bay
Entrance to the 11.0m3 cargo area is by means of a sliding nearside door and through twin back doors which can be swung through 90°. Release the stays – an easy task – and they can be pushed through 180°.
A step aids entry through the rear aperture; just as well given that the load floor sits a little high thanks to rear-wheel-drive.
With ten tie-down points, there is no excuse for failing to strap down cargo. If you forget, then the full-height bulkhead should prevent items from ending up in the cab.
Good to see four interior lights – handy if you happen to be loading and unloading at night. Payload capacity is under a tonne however, which is somewhat disappointing.
Ford’s published specification sheets give no indication as to whether E-Transit is allowed to tow a trailer or not. So we’ll assume it isn’t.
