Ford added several new features and new optional equipment to its Transit full-size van for the 2018 model year, the company announced at the Work Truck Show in Indianapolis.
Ford's 2018 Transit will move the rear-view camera above the rear doors on medium- and high-roof models. It will also get a locking glove box, new rear door exit handle, and rear LED cargo lamp switch.
New optional equipment includes heavy-duty cargo area flooring, heavy-duty rear scuff plate kit, extended-length running boards, a push-down manual parking brake, alloy dual rear wheel package, and charcoal leather-triummed heated seat package.
Other new options include power-folding short-arm heated mirrors and turn signals; AM/FM stereo with audio output jack, microphone, and Bluetooth interface; and D-pillar assist handles for medium- and high-roof models.
