Ford has introduced its 2021 Transit Van with a host of updates and option packages available specifically for RV customers, as well as parcel delivery option packages.
“With many Americans working from home and practicing social distancing during the pandemic, the popularity of recreational vehicles has soared at the same time package delivery has seen incredible growth,” said Tiffany Chang, Ford fleet brand strategy manager. “Our new 2021 Transit options help people design the recreational vehicles of their dreams and help enable our commercial customers to more efficiently deliver goods and services across the country.”
More than half of all motorhomes sold in the United States are built on Ford chassis. Ford said it is using its expertise and responding to growing demand with appearance updates for the 2021 Transit, including new wheel choices and three new exterior colors. Three “new and improved” option packages have also been introduced, including the updated Transit Motorhome Prep Package for cutaway; the new RV Prep Package for cargo van; and a new Adventure Prep Package for cargo or crew van.
A honeycomb mesh grille is standard on all 2021 Transit models. Production begins this fall at the company’s Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Mo.
