America’s tradespeople have steadily been getting more van-curious over the years, helped no doubt by Ford beginning local production of the already Euro-popular Transit in Kansas City in 2014. In 2022 Ford debuted the E-Transit, which has been steadily growing in sales over the past few quarters. Now the Blue Oval has started deliveries of the model-year 2024 E-Transit, and there are some worthwhile improvements compared to the MY23 van.
The opprobrium that is now starting to stick to supersized pickup trucks has mostly ignored the humble van. It’s contradictory, on the face of it; even a low-roof Transit takes up more volume on the road than most pickups. But then, there aren’t leather-and-chrome special edition Transit vans driven more as commuter cars or weekend toys like there are pickups—at least for now.
