The 2021 Ford Transit Connect offers many features that make handling BC's weather simple. For example, the available Quickclear electric windshield defroster removes ice, mist, or snow via the push of a button once the engine is running. This system sends out heated washer jets, while an additional warming element is embedded between two layers of glass, so fogging won't be a concern.You can add the optional engine block heater to this cargo van and quickly get everything nice and toasty, too—even during super-chilly days. Likewise, the side mirrors boast available self-warming on the XL trim (standard for the XLT).
Meanwhile, the wheels can benefit from available front and rear splash guards to keep everything tidy and help reduce corrosion, too. Plus, the XLT trim has halogen fog lamps installed that effortlessly cut through murky conditions in BC.

The 2021 Ford Transit Connect is certainly large enough to accommodate plenty of cargo, but this also means it can be tricky to turn. As a result, this van has Torque Vectoring Control installed as standard to handle curves in BC without breaking a sweat.Torque Vectoring Control adjusts the speed between the front wheels simultaneously to improve the cargo van's ability to handle corners and cut down on understeer. This procedure works with the tendency for G-forces to transfer more traction to the outer tires while tackling turns.
By automatically using small amounts of braking to reduce wheelspin, Torque Vectoring enhances that process, meaning the van's front end sticks better to the inside of every curve. The result for you is smooth, confident handling, even on BC's windiest of streets.

When you're making deliveries around BC with the 2021 Ford Transit Connect, it'll be easy to stay in your lane, courtesy of its available systems designed to help. That way, you can focus on the road as this cargo van does the rest.The Lane-Keeping System (available for the XL trim and included as standard on the XLT) uses a camera mounted behind the windshield that scans road markings to determine whether you've strayed out of line. If so, the steering wheel vibrates for a warning to get re-aligned.
Similarly, the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert employs radar to detect if a vehicle is present where you cannot see and then activates a warning by illuminating an indicator on the relevant side mirror. Plus, this feature does the same while reversing out of parking spots in BC.

Staying safe while out doing business in BC is simple with the 2021 Ford Transit Connect because this cargo van has many protection features on offer. They will help guard you against accidental collisions and more kinds of hazards during every drive.The standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking system uses sensors that can detect whether a potential accident is imminent. If so, a warning light will flash, and audible alerts are activated as the wheels prepare by precharging the ABS setup to help bring everything to a halt.
Similarly, the available Adaptive Cruise Control system also uses sensors to monitor traffic in BC constantly. If other vehicles slow down ahead of you, the 2021 Transit Connect does the same, and then when things clear up, the cargo van resumes the previously set speed once again.
