Ford Transit Connect adapts to meet your needs

Written by

The Ford Transit Connect gives you lots of space for a reasonable price. Initially introduced as a commercial vehicle, the Transit Connect offers different models and add-ons, making it handy for driving family around town too. Check out the Ford Connect at any Earnhardt Auto Centers dealership, especially Earnhardt Ford in Chandler and Rodeo Ford in Goodyear.

A Consumer Reports review calls Ford Transit Connect a “credible people mover,” citing its sliding side doors and high roof line. The Transit Connect wagon seats up to seven passengers and is about the length of a Honda Accord, according to the review. It’s offered in a wagon or a van body style.

The Transit Connect also offers flexibility for when you need to haul more gear than people, and can adapt if your needs change frequently. Seats fold down flat to change your seating and gear configuration.

Inside, the Transit Connect is comfortable and functional. Choose vinyl, cloth or leather-trimmed seating with heated passenger seats available too. The passenger wagon offers options like front-row, full width overhead storage and front grab handles, making it easier to get in and out of the vehicle.

An optional sunroof acts as a skylight, and the power shade blocks the sun when needed too. This option is available on the Transit Connect XLT and Titanium models.

Safety features include a blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert to help keep you safe on the busy roads. A rear-view camera provides guidelines to help hitch your vehicle’s trailer hitch to the trailer hitch receiver when needed. And high-tech perks include SYNC® 3 voice-activated technology and available touchscreen navigation.

To test drive the Transit Connect or to learn more about this vehicle, visit any Earnhardt Auto Centers dealership in person or online. You’ll be impressed with the versatility of the Ford Transit Connect!
