In fact, more motorhomes are built on Ford chassis than any other brand. Today, Ford Pro announced it is continuing that tradition with 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.”
