2020 Ford Transit 350: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2020 Ford Transit 350 gets a major mid-cycle update led by a new standard 3.5-liter V6 and 10-speed automatic transmission. It remains part of the same generation rather than becoming an all-new van.
About the 2020 Ford Transit 350
4th generation U.S. Transit (2015-2023), major 2020 update
The 2020 Transit 350 is Ford’s highly configurable full-size van for heavy work or high passenger counts. Ford positions it as the smarter, easier-to-drive alternative in the big-van class, with more body choices, more driver-assist tech, and more everyday drivability than buyers usually expect from a commercial van. Its core appeal is flexibility: cargo hauling, shuttle duty, crew transport, RV conversion, or fleet work, all with a more modern cabin and available all-wheel drive.
The 2020 Transit 350 ranges from maneuverable low-roof cargo vans to extended high-roof models built for maximum load space. XL and XLT passenger versions seat 12 or 15 people, while XLT models add blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors. Heavy-duty cargo versions pair dual rear wheels with gross vehicle weight ratings of up to 10,360 pounds.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
A new 3.5-liter PFDi V6 becomes the standard gas engine, gas models move to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive joins the lineup without raising the floor height.
Safety
Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning, post-collision braking, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic high beams become standard. XLT passenger vans also gain blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, and reverse and side parking sensors.
Tech
The cabin is reworked with more storage, updated air vents, and new screen choices.
Structural
A Crew Van body style joins the range. The cargo lineup is also reorganized with new low- and medium-roof regular- and long-wheelbase trim listings, while several prior door-specific versions are dropped or renamed.

“The spacing of the interior is great. It feels comfortable to be inside. The gas pricing is affordable and the features integrated are more than enough.”
“It doesn't look as good as the old 15 passenger 350 duper duty XLT, but it has a lot more features.”
