The 2015 Ford Transit 150 is an all-new model and the first U.S. Transit 150, replacing Ford’s E-Series cargo and passenger vans. Its headline change is a modern, lower-floor van design built around greater body and cargo-layout flexibility.
About the 2015 Ford Transit 150
Fourth-generation Transit (global V363), first U.S./North American model year; all-new replacement for the E-Series full-size van.
Ford positions the Transit 150 as a highly configurable full-size van built around productivity and easier day-to-day use. In cargo form, it is a work tool with a flat load floor, tall usable space, and several body and door layouts for different jobs. In wagon form, it is a people mover with easier step-in height, a center-aisle layout on many versions, and more modern driving manners than traditional truck-based vans. Its core strengths are flexibility, commercial usefulness, and a more car-like driving experience.
Ford positioned the Transit 150 as a job-specific work van and a practical people mover, with cargo vans emphasizing floor length, roof height, and side-door access. Passenger wagons range from durable XL versions with vinyl seats and full-length side-curtain airbags to more comfortable XLT versions with cloth seats, rear air conditioning, cruise control, and an upgraded stereo.
