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.

Driving a large cargo van like the 2021 Ford Transit Connect on a blustery day in BC can be pretty nerve-wracking, but that's why it has a Side-Wind Stabilization system included as standard. This feature helps keep you sure-footed while out making deliveries.It works by monitoring multiple sensors up to 100 times per second while you’re travelling at speeds of 80 km/h and above. If they detect any gusts, the system will apply the brakes on one side of the Transit Connect within merely 200 milliseconds to help keep the van stable.
But it doesn’t stop there because Side-Wind Stabilization cooperates with the Roll Stability Control system too during drives on slippery surfaces. This helps ensure that sliding, skidding, and tip-overs won’t be a concern while making deliveries around BC.
