2027 Ford Transit: What's New, What's Changing, and What Stays the Same

The 2027 Ford Transit is a focused update to one of America's best-selling work vans, with new standard security and a few equipment changes rather than a redesign. The Transit's real strength carries over: a huge range of configurations, from cargo and passenger vans to cutaways and chassis cabs, plus the fully electric E-Transit. Whether you run a single van or a whole fleet, this guide covers exactly what is different for 2027 and how to shop the Transit at your local Kunes Ford store.

Update type: Equipment update (builds on the 2026 technology update). Engines: 3.5L V6 standard; available 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 (up to about 310 horsepower, 400 lb.-ft.). Transmission: 10-speed automatic. Drive: Rear-wheel drive or available Intelligent all-wheel drive. Capability: Payload up to 5,103 pounds, towing up to 6,900 pounds, cargo up to 487.3 cu. ft. Body styles: Cargo Van, Passenger Van, Crew Van, Cutaway, Chassis Cab, and electric E-Transit. Starting price: From $48,400 (plus destination).

The biggest change for 2027 is security moving into the standard column. The one-year Ford Security Package is now standard on Cargo Van and Passenger Van XL and XLT models (it was previously a paid add-on), and a Perimeter Alarm is standard on those trims as well. Ford also adds a new one-time, seven-year security purchase option for operators who want longer coverage up front. For a van that often carries thousands of dollars in tools or inventory, built-in security matters.

Daytime running lamps with on and off control from the instrument cluster are now standard on Cargo Van and Passenger Van XL and XLT. Exterior Lighting (option 943) is now available on medium and high roof configurations, and Connected Navigation Hardware is now optional. On the electric E-Transit, the NACS fast-charging adapter is now a standalone option rather than bundled with the mobile power cord.

Iconic Silver Metallic joins the palette for 2027, replacing Ingot Silver Metallic. A handful of lower-use items were also discontinued for the model year, including the tire inflator and sealant kit on the Cargo Van and the side parking sensors, so confirm the exact equipment on the configuration you want.

The Transit's configurability is the reason it fits so many businesses. The Cargo Van is the workhorse for trades and delivery, available in regular, long, and extended body lengths with low, medium, and high roofs. The Passenger Van seats crews or shuttles people. The Crew Van splits the difference, with a second row of seats and cargo space behind it. The Cutaway and Chassis Cab are the blank canvases for box bodies, service bodies, and upfits. And the fully electric E-Transit is the zero-tailpipe-emissions option for businesses with predictable local routes. Our team can match the right body, roof, wheelbase, and powertrain to how you work.

The Transit pairs a standard 3.5-liter V6 with an available 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6, both through a 10-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard with available Intelligent all-wheel drive for slippery job sites. Properly equipped, the Transit carries a payload of up to 5,103 pounds and tows up to 6,900 pounds. The electric E-Transit swaps the gas V6 for an electric drivetrain, which can lower running costs for routes that return to base each day.

The core of the Transit carries over. The full range of body styles, roof heights, and wheelbases continues, as do the gas V6 engines and the choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. The E-Transit remains the electric option for businesses that want it. Capability numbers and the Transit’s reputation for serviceability all carry forward. The Transit is still built at Ford's Kansas City Assembly Plant, and Ford's commercial warranty coverage continues as before.

The Transit fits a wide range of operators, from a single contractor who needs a secure, configurable cargo van to a growing business adding several vehicles at once. If you are building or expanding a fleet, our Kunes Commercial Truck and Fleet team can help with configurations, upfits, financing, and ongoing service, so your vans are set up the way your work actually runs. Drive it to work or for work, we've got you covered.

Because 2027 is an equipment update, a leftover 2026 Transit can make sense if the discount is right, since the vans are mechanically the same. Go with the 2027 specifically if you want the standard Ford Security Package and Perimeter Alarm. Either way, Kunes Ford will work through the numbers with you, with no pressure. We make it easy.
