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.
Start every long haul with precision courtesy of the 2021 Ford Ranger XLT and its smart trailering technologies. Commercial fleets in BC are sure to appreciate the standard Rear View Camera with Dynamic Hitch Assist, which makes lining up and attaching a trailer an absolute breeze.
With no need for spotters or having to hop in and out of the cab, the Ranger’s Dynamic Hitch Assist does the hard work for you. When you shift the truck into reverse, the backup camera will activate. Using the screen, you can easily align the hitch to the trailer using the guidelines that indicate the direction your truck will travel in reverse.
For added awareness on the job site, the 2021 Ranger XLT also offers available forward and reverse sensing systems. When the sensors detect an obstacle behind the truck, the system emits a series of audible beeps to get your attention – gaining from slow to fast to continuous the closer you get to the object. Â
The 2021 Ranger XLT proves useful for hardworking fleets. To learn more about this model – including available financing options – contact our team at Skaha Ford in BC.

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.

Next, you can add automatic headlamps that are able to detect when it's getting dark outside and switch themselves on as required, while available rain-sensing front wipers will do the same in the presence of water. And finally, optional heated power adjust external mirrors help fight fogging during all deliveries around BC.
