Vehicle details
The 2015 Ford Transit 350 L3 H2 is proof that a working van doesnt have to be dull. Designed to tackle the demands of tradespeople, delivery fleets and long-distance operators alike, this long-wheelbase, high-roof panel van combines practicality with the kind of road manners that have long set Fords commercial vehicles apart from the competition. Under the bonnet sits Fords dependable 2.2-litre TDCi diesel engine, producing 100PS. While that figure may not sound particularly impressive on paper, the engine delivers its power with a broad spread of torque that suits commercial use perfectly. Around town it pulls confidently from low revs, and on the motorway it settles into an easy cruising rhythm. Heavily laden, youll naturally need to work through the six-speed manual gearbox more frequently, but the transmission offers a positive shift and ratios that make the most of the available performance.Rear-wheel drive is one of this Transits defining strengths. With a full payload onboard, traction remains reassuringly strong, making it particularly capable on steep gradients, slippery building sites and uneven surfaces where front-wheel-drive rivals can struggle. It also contributes to impressive towing stability for businesses regularly hauling trailers. Where the Transit truly excels is behind the wheel. Ford has long been regarded as the benchmark for driving dynamics in the commercial vehicle sector, and this generation continues that tradition. The steering is accurate and surprisingly communicative for a large van, body control is well judged, and visibility is excellent thanks to the commanding driving position and expansive mirrors. Even in L3 H2 form, measuring over five and a half metres in length, the Transit feels less cumbersome than its dimensions suggest. The high-roof configuration transforms practicality. The generous load area allows most adults to stand upright, making loading, organising tools or working inside the van significantly easier. Wide-opening rear doors and a practical side loading door provide excellent access, while the square-sided cargo bay makes efficient use of every inch of available space. Whether carrying palletised freight, building materials or bulky equipment, the Transit is built to cope with demanding workloads day after day. Inside, the cabin is functional rather than luxurious, but it is thoughtfully designed. Hard-wearing plastics dominate, yet everything feels solidly assembled and capable of withstanding years of commercial abuse. Storage is plentiful, with multiple cubbies, large door bins and useful dashboard shelving making it easy to keep paperwork and equipment organised. The driving position is comfortable over long distances, and the controls are intuitively laid outA true workhorse that drives with uncommon confidence and precision. For businesses needing a spacious, dependable rear-wheel-drive panel van, the 2015 Ford Transit continues to be Britains benchmark large commercial vehicle.
