Ford Transit 250 Cargo Trim Levels

Transit 250 “trims” are mainly body configurations, not a simple equipment ladder. Names such as Low Roof w/RWB or High Roof Extended Length describe roof height, wheelbase, body length, and sometimes the side-door layout.

RWB means regular wheelbase, with 130 inches between the front and rear wheels. LWB means long wheelbase, with 148 inches. RWB vans are easier to place in tight areas, while LWB vans provide more cargo length.

Low Roof LWB adds cargo room without adding roof height. Representative cargo volume rises from 246.7 cubic feet in the RWB body to 277.7 cubic feet in the LWB body. The shorter RWB is easier to maneuver.

The Medium Roof RWB adds much more interior height while keeping the short wheelbase. Its cargo height is 72 inches and its volume is 315.2 cubic feet, versus 56.9 inches and 246.7 cubic feet for the low-roof body.

The Medium Roof LWB adds floor length and cargo volume while keeping the same 72-inch interior height. Representative volume grows from 315.2 to 357.1 cubic feet. The RWB body is shorter and easier to use on tight routes.

High Roof LWB mainly adds standing room and cargo volume. Representative maximum cargo height rises from 72 to 81.5 inches, while volume increases from 357.1 to 404.3 cubic feet. Both use the 148-inch wheelbase.

Extended High keeps the tall roof but adds rear body length. Representative cargo volume grows from 404.3 to 487.3 cubic feet. High Roof LWB is easier to place, while Extended High suits long loads and large interior builds.

A sliding door moves along the van’s side, so it needs less space beside the van when open. The 60/40 setup uses two hinged panels that swing outward. On comparable low-roof bodies, both provide a 51.2-inch-wide opening.

Dual sliding doors provide cargo access from either side, which helps on curbside routes and around shelving or equipment. They appeared on some medium- and high-roof used configurations, so availability depends on model year and body style.

Low Roof RWB is the easiest city-focused configuration. Its 130-inch wheelbase and shorter body are more manageable on narrow streets, in parking areas, and under height restrictions, though it gives up cargo length and standing room.

Look first at a medium- or high-roof body. Medium-roof vans provide up to 72 inches of cargo height, while high-roof versions provide about 81.5 inches in many configurations. Flooring and interior upfits can reduce usable height.

The Extended High body has the most cargo room in this lineup, with about 487.3 cubic feet behind the front seats. It suits bulky loads, long shelving layouts, and mobile workspaces, but its extra length makes tight parking harder.

Medium Roof LWB is the broad middle-ground choice. It combines a 148-inch wheelbase, 72 inches of cargo height, and 357.1 cubic feet of space without the taller exterior or longer rear overhang of the biggest bodies.

On the newest vans, the main body configurations share a 12-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8-inch driver display, keyless start, and a driver-assist suite. Older used vans can differ substantially.

No. Rear-door swing depends on body style and year. For 2025, low- and medium-roof cargo vans used 180-degree doors, while high-roof vans used 253-degree doors. Earlier combinations differed, so check the actual van.
