Global, high volume platforms and vehicles
High retail prices (relative to other vehicles)
Commercial market demand.
100+ years of building trucks.
It’s really just supply and demand and ROI prioritization. Ford’s unwillingness to expand into new products and market segments other than EVs forces them to prioritize.
Where'd you find these?
I agree, I think it'll just be a Mustang something.
I also think it's dumb to announce this now....just reveal it and shock everyone if it's that good.
Ford’s Work Van Just Got A Lot Smarter, But You’ll Pay The Price | Carscoops
Starting outside, there’s new badging and updated taillights that now offer integrated blind spot sensors. Fleet customers will also find a new Wild Green Metallic paint job.
While the exterior styling changes are easy to overlook, the 2026 Transit has an all-new electrical architecture. Ford said it “enables new digital capabilities, over-the-air software updates, and future scalability.”
There’s also an updated 8-inch digital instrument cluster as well as a newly standard 12-inch SYNC 4 infotainment system. The model also gains a 5G modem and a keyless push button ignition.
All Transits come equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360, which now includes a Forward Sensing System as well as a Reverse Sensing System on Cargo and Passenger variants. Customers can also upgrade to the optional Co-Pilot360 2.0 suite, which provides additional capabilities.
Given the Transit is a commercial vehicle, there are a number of fleet-friendly upgrades. This includes Ford Pro Telematics, which enables managers to keep track of their vehicles and how they’re being used. The van also has a newly standard Vehicle Maintenance Monitor, which helps customers stay up-to-date on maintenance to prevent downtime.
Additional changes are limited, but the E-Transit gains a vapor injection heat pump that promises to increase efficiency. The E-Transit Chassis Cab and Cutaway also gain a new variant with a 156-inch (3,962 mm) wheelbase.
Rounding out the highlights are several new and updated options including a Connectivity Package, which includes a year of unlimited Wi-Fi, audio and video streaming, Alexa Built-in, and available Connected Navigation.
The Delivery Package for Cargo Van and Cutaway variants also gains Delivery Assist, which automatically activates the hazard lights and closes all open windows when the vehicle is put in park. It also locks the doors when the driver exits the vehicle.
Pricing starts at $44,890, while the E-Transit begins at $48,150. The latter is a huge price hike as the 2025 E-Transit Cutaway began at $45,700. Likewise, the E-Transit Cargo Van has gone from $51,000 to $53,260.
Ford's successful vehicles now and into the future, are in at least one of the following categories and in many cases more than one:
Body on frame
Truck/SUV/Van
"Passion" or "iconic"
Electric/New Energy
Commercial
The shithouse products aren't in any of those
Is this supposed to be released in China? After seeing what the Bronco New Energy or whatever it is called is getting sold at, this would be completely DOA over their with a price point almost double of what the Bronco EV is.
