#FORD PASSENGER VAN 2000 UPGRADE#

For more information about the Transit Connect's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Since we haven't tested the Ford nor the Ram on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route-part of our extensive testing regimen-we are unable to report on their real-world mpg. The Ford's only other direct competitor is the Ram ProMaster City, which is rated at 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. The EPA rates the Ford Transit Connect at up to 24 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.

The last long-wheelbase model we drove was equipped with the discontinued 2.5-liter four-cylinder and felt very agile around town thanks to its accurate steering and well-controlled body motions. The Transit Connect can tow up to 2000 pounds and carry a maximum payload of 1570 pounds. The Transit Connect offers a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 162 horsepower and pairs with an eight-speed automatic.

The Trailer Tow package is also a worthy upgrade because it unlocks the van's 2000-pound towing capacity. The only individual options we'd add are adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, lane-keeping assist, and passive entry. Every XLT also has blind-spot monitoring and rear-cross-traffic alert. Compared with the base model, it adds a standard touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in navigation, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. We think the XLT model is the better value. The beauty of the Transit Connect is that it can be configured and outfitted to meet a variety of needs.
