The 2014 Ford Transit Connect Van

That white, boxy panel van has been discontinued, and all automakers are simultaneously rolling out their new cargo van offerings, all with this European styling.

Chevy and Dodge have revealed their pre-production models, Nissan’s NV is for sale, and this is Ford’s entry, the Transit Connect.

Suits me, huh.

What’s missing….

No rearview mirror!

My tester didn’t have a rear view camera, or rear windows, so all backing up was done while holding my breath. If you order one, choose one of the two, but not neither.

Ford’s really pushing the customizing aspect of their van, because it’s geared towards the small business owner.

A flower shop or plumber could set up in here, or bet you could even run a food truck out of one.

Here’s my full review for the newspaper. There’s some good customizing example photos in the gallery there.

And confirmed, it will fit into a deep underground parking space, like mine here, which is a kilometre below the earth.
