2026 Ford Transit 350: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2026 Ford Transit 350 is a major digital-cabin and safety refresh: every cargo and passenger van gets a 12-inch touchscreen, an 8-inch driver display and an expanded driver-assistance suite. This is not a redesign, and the core bodies, roof choices, gas V6 engines and 10-speed automatic remain fundamentally unchanged.
About the 2026 Ford Transit 350
Fourth-generation global Transit; 12th U.S. model year of the 2015-present body, with a substantial digital and safety update rather than a new generation or exterior redesign.
The Transit 350 is Ford’s heavy-duty full-size van for commercial hauling and multi-row passenger transport. Its identity centers on unusually broad body variety: low, medium and high roofs; regular, long and extended bodies; cargo and passenger interiors; and heavy-duty SRW or DRW configurations. Compared with simpler rivals, it emphasizes car-like driving manners, gas V6 power, a 10-speed automatic, RWD or AWD production configurations, and a body designed for business upfits or large-group transportation.
The 2026 Transit 350 lineup covers lower-roof work vans for tighter spaces, walk-in high-roof models and extended cargo vans with up to 487.3 cubic feet behind the front seats. Passenger Van XL focuses on practical group transport with rear climate control, while XLT adds heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, lane centering and a 360-degree camera. Heavy-duty versions include higher weight ratings and, on the most load-focused extended cargo model, dual rear wheels and a 300-horsepower twin-turbo V6.
