Van life enthusiasts have a new reason to get excited with the arrival of the new 2023 Ford Transit Trail van.
For over six decades, Ford has provided travelers with vans and trucks for over six decades, with chassis built for performance and longevity. More motorhomes today are built on Ford chassis than any other brand. At the end of last week, Ford Pro announced that it is carrying on that tradition with the new Transit Trail, an “upfit-ready adventure van that leverages the same capability, versatility, and customization options that helped make Ford Transit® America’s best-selling commercial van.”
“No matter the task at hand – delivering packages or enjoying life off the grid – customers can rely on their Transit to get the job done,” said Ted Cannis, Ford Pro CEO. “Our decades of experience in the motorhome industry and insights from the van-life community helped us design a vehicle that makes it easier for adventure seekers to start their next journey.”
The 2023 Ford Transit Trail is built with a 10-speed automatic transmission, mated to a 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine, producing 310 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. Travelers are prepared for whatever mother nature brings, with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and 5 selectable drive modes, including Normal, Eco, Mud/Ruts, Tow/Haul, and Slippery.
The Transit Trail also provides drivers with tech features that inspire confidence on and off trail, including Intelligent Access with push-button start, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Assist 1.0, Reverse and Side Sensing systems. Interior features include a 12-inch touchscreen, a high-resolution digital camera, and 110-volt, 12-volt and USB outlets for adventurers looking to stay connected and “powered up”.Transit Trail customers also receive SYNC®4 with SiriusXM® with 360L, HD Radio™ and Ford Power-Up software updates.
The 2023 Transit Trail is available in three cargo van configurations; medium-, high-roof, and a high-roof extended-length variant. Drillable areas for cabinetry, shelving, and a bed provide do-it-yourselfers and upfitters with countless configuration options. Additional features like privacy glass, optional roof vent fan, overhead shelf, illuminated sun visors and driver and passenger swivel seats make time spent in the van both comfortable and functional.
Equipped for improved off-highway capability, the Transit Trail has a multitude of additional standard features and capabilities, including:
For travelers who need to stay plugged in, an available Upfitter Package provides occupants with power auxiliary accessories, like an exterior light bar. The Upfitter Package includes high-capacity upfitter switches, an auxiliary fuse panel with a high-spec interface connector, dual AGM batteries, and a modified vehicle wiring system.
As part of the Transit family of vans, the Transit Trail is tested to meet the same “Built Ford Tough” durability standards as the rest of the Transit lineup. As a result, the vehicle maintains Ford’s 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.
