Ford Transit Connect
Ford was one of the first to import European-designed vans to our continent. The first to step forward was the Transit Connect, a compact van designed primarily for commercial use, but available in a passenger version. This model was transformed last year with more modern styling and powertrains, and the touring version was made more comfortable. As for the Transit, it's a massive commercial van that offers plentiful cargo capacity to target the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ram ProMaster.
