2019 Ford Transit 150: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2019 Ford Transit 150 is that 148-inch-wheelbase vans have rear cargo doors that open wider, increasing from 237 degrees to 253 degrees. Otherwise, this is a light-update year rather than a redesign.
About the 2019 Ford Transit 150
First North American Transit generation (2015-2019), final year before the 2020 redesign.
Ford positions the Transit as a full-size van built to cover work, shuttle, and family duty with one basic formula: lots of body choices, useful cargo or passenger space, and easier drivability than older truck-based vans. Its core appeal is flexibility. Buyers looking at a used Transit 150 are usually choosing it because they want the right roof height, wheelbase, and door layout for a real job, not because they want a flashy trim name.
The 2019 Transit 150 spans straightforward cargo vans and passenger models built for shuttle or group use. Cargo versions pair low or medium roofs with regular or long wheelbases and several side-door layouts, while passenger vans seat eight or 10; XLT models add comfort features such as cloth seats, cruise control, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
A flexible-fuel powertrain was added to the XL and XLT passenger vans across the listed low- and medium-roof layouts. The standard engine choices and 6-speed automatic otherwise carried over.
Structural
On 148-inch-wheelbase vans, revised rear-door hinges increased the opening angle from 237 degrees to 253 degrees. A rear recovery eye became standard on cargo and passenger vans, and medium-roof XL and XLT passenger vans with a sliding side door added a 10-passenger seating layout.
