White the market for all-wheel-drive vans is relatively srm the Transit AWD is st worth a look if your business needs it.
The enhanced trac A system works well enough when the road gets tough and will also provide the driver with the added assurance that they will make the delivery no matter what.
The system is fairly simplistic in operation, and we like the fact you only have to push a single button to engage or disengage it, which is one area when the new VW Transporter 4Motion or Citroen Dispatch XTR+ both fall short since they employ a permanent all-wheel-drive configuration.
There's also the fact that the transmission doesn't adversely affect fuel consumption or payload, which makes Ford's off-the-beaten-track offering quite appealing.
Aside from AWD, the Transit stilt continues to impress with its high level5 of build quality, practicality and econom so its no wonder that the van is such a popular choice with fleets.
But don't think the Transit has got this one all sewn up, because, with the imminent arrival of the new Transporte 4Motion, the Transit is going to face an uphill challenge to prove its worth even in this niche sector of the LCV market.
