With the introduction of the new Transit, Ford has discontinued the Ford E-series van.

The versatile chassis is even being used for a number of different cutaway models including the upcoming Utilimaster Velocity Step Van.
The Ford Transit is a great van for getting into tight places. With a turning circle of approximately 56 ft. and it’s sleek profile, this van can go places your typical step van or straight truck can’t go.
