A super-sized philosophy doesn’t always prove necessary - or wanted. Too often do Vernon drivers find themselves struggling to manoeuvre their massive commercial vans down city streets; and a simple turn becomes an ordeal.Ford suggests a more economical option - the 2020 Transit in a Regular/Low Roof configuration.
For those sending their payloads downtown the Regular/Low Roof Transit will prove ideal - boasting a series of tight dimensions that allow it to more effectively adapt. Its sporty profile (which measures 5,585-mm in length and 2,123-mm in height) can smoothly manoeuvre down any lane; while the lean front track (1,732-mm) promises easier parking. The hinged door opens to 1,300-mm, providing a cargo-friendly width that won’t impede sidewalk traffic; and the mirrors can fold inward to afford greater clearance (2,114-mm versus the standard 2,464-mm).
The 2020 Transit will impress in BC, allowing drivers to effortlessly navigate tight turns - and it will prove that less can truly be more.

2020 Ford Transit Delivers Intelligent AWD To Okanagan BC

Highway conditions don’t always prove favourable. Instead Vernon drivers will find themselves battling strong winds, heavy rains, and slick bursts of sleet - all of which compromise the performance of their commercial vans. Each trip becomes a challenge.Ford wishes to change that - which is why it’s paired the 2020 Transit with optional Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive.
Anchoring the new Transit is an advanced drivetrain that can adapt to changing environments with ease. Integrated sensors continually scan the vehicle, assessing traction ratios, trajectory patterns, and roll rates hundreds of times per second. If a misalignment is detected, these units automatically divert power among the wheels (distributing torque as needed to improve grippage and assure a more balanced stance). When the issue is corrected, they will then send a signal to resume normal performance outputs.Â
Through this, the Transit can seamlessly respond to the highway - with its Intelligent AWD yielding real-time corrections and precise traction control. To further impress, Ford has also ensured that this system is fully integrated into the chassis and will not impact the floor level or seat height. Achieve maximum storage in Okanagan.
Curious about the 2020 Transit and its available AWD? Contact our team today to learn more about this system.
Expect more from standard - with the 2020 Transit’s base engine proving anything but ordinary. No longer will the need for economy compromise performance. Instead Vernon drivers can achieve both, experiencing segment-leading capability with each press of the pedal.Peek beneath the hood of the new Transit and discover a potent engine suite. The 3.5L V6 will impress on the highway, generating 275 HP (at 6,500 RPMs) and 262 lb.-ft of torque (at 3,750 RPMs). A 10-speed automatic transmission bolsters every payload, delivering SelectShift precision; while integrated overdrive technology further enhances performance, allowing the van to achieve seamless handling at lower revolutions. Maintain a smooth powerband while traveling.
The 2020 Transit promises more than strength, however. Its standard V6 engine also offers efficiency - blending port-fuel and direct-injection technologies to bolster ratings. It refuses to guzzle gasoline; and this results in a 12.8 L/100km output on the highway (enabling Vernon drivers to focus on accommodating up to 8,071.1-litres of cargo volume instead of searching for a pump).
With the release of the new Transit Ford redefines the commercial market. To learn more about this van - or to schedule a test-drive in one of our available models - contact our team today.

It’s a series of unfortunate stains - with coffee spilt, food crumbs scattered, and long streaks of dirt following every slide of your tools. Each day leaves your van dirty and your patience frayed. Spending so much time cleaning is simply not productive.Ford agrees - which is why the 2020 Transit has been designed for easy maintenance. Enter this commercial van and discover three distinct flooring options that will expedite the cleaning process:
Â
Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl comes standard for the front and optional for the rear; and its durable design allows for quick cleaning, proving resistant to grit and grime (a damp rag will often be enough to wipe away everyday debris).Â
Carpet Mats
Choose these options if you wish to improve cabin comfort without compromising value. Each mat can be removed from the Transit for vacuuming - while still offering plush textures. Scheduling regular detailing services, however, is recommended to maintain carpet integrity.
Heavy-Duty Liners
For those who use the rear bay to haul equipment, the heavy-duty option will prove ideal. This thick liner - which is assisted by scuff plates - can counter dents and dings, offering commercial-grade durability. Greatly reduce cargo scratches while traveling.

Your cargo demands far exceed the confines of a trailer. Instead you need comprehensive storage solutions - with tools, telematic devices, and everyday equipment placed within quick reach.

An available bulkhead lines the wall, boasting lockable compartments; and eight tie-down hooks assure custom solutions for the bay, allowing drivers to seamlessly stack, store, and secure payloads.
To further adapt to commercial demands, the 2020 Transit boasts ample dimensions - featuring up to 1,192-mm of width between the wheelhouse. Pair that with the available 2,069-mm of total cargo height to ensure maximum storage.

The 2020 F-350 carries more than cargo. Instead Vernon drivers will bring passengers along on their adventures - wanting to embrace the Go Further philosophy together.

This console ensures that all passengers are securely fastened as they travel the backroads, delivering real-time notifications to the driver in a three-step process:
Â
One: Integrated buckle sensors monitor both door and seat pressure activity, automatically identifying when a passenger has entered the truck.
Two: Those same sensors immediately note which passengers have not used their seat-belts, recognizing the lack of pressure and proper positioning.
Three: If the engine engages and no action has been taken, the system will release a series of audible chimes -Â as well as flash a warning across the dash.
