2019 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Consumer Reviews

The transmission had issues at 36,000 miles. Ford would only do an overhaul, which means to pull out some pieces and replace them. This, despite the fact that transmissions are an issue in this make and model. Then, mercifully, it started clunking and lurching at 57,000 miles, just under the 60,000 mile drivetrain warranty gave out. Ford rebuilt it under warranty and it’s still not right. I’ll never buy another Ford, nor will any of my family or friends who‘ve watched this unfold.

I absolutely love my 2019 Transit Connect XLT because it's great on gas mileage and it's so versatile! It's a Mini Van so I can haul big items for our home with no problem! If I put the seats it will seat a total of 6 people (including the driver) also it has Bluetooth Technology which is amazing! It has a backup camera, sensors that will let you know if you're too close to a moving vehicle (which will not alert you but applies the brakes to slow you down) so that you can avoid an accident! The backup sensors help keep your bumper from getting messed up, as well

The 2016 Ford Transit Connect has ruined my view of Ford as an auto manufacturer. I have always had good luck with Ford and thus drove them almost exclusively. That is until I started driving the 2016 Ford Transit Connect with the 2.5L engine. I dont know where to start so I will just list all the issues I have with this thing. There are a lot. Good- -Comfortable in the front seats -Average MPG for fuel Bad- -Turns like a tank -Towing capacity sucks. We actually ruined a set of tires towing with this at the rated capacity. -Washer fluid capacity is .8 gallons. Washer fluid only comes in 1 gallon containers. I include this only to show the amount of thought that was put into this vehicle. -I have to order wipers (special clips) and air filters (super small) online because no one in my city carries them. -You need to remove the entire air intake just to access the battery. Replacing the battery has gone beyond simple replacement and into removing multiple parts, lines, and other obstructions in order to do simple repairs. -Rear seats are not adjustable or removable. They fold flat but are very thick and take up a lot of your cargo room.

I bought my van in 2016. I was concerned that it would not accelerate with two or three canoes on a roof rack in the mountains. I have had no problems. I converted my passenger transit connect xlt into a camper and it has done very well. I wish the gas mileage was a bit better, but it is one of the best gasoline engine vans out on the market for gas mileage. In addition, I love the two manual side doors, and the manual back hatch. The hatch has served as a rain shelter when I have cooked, hung out in a chair, changed my clothes after a day on a white water river. I have a wrap around screen that I attach around the hatch and the two manual side doors. These have worked wonderfully on hot nights in North Carolina. The seats are a bit stiff, but with a little foam seat aid from a big box store does the trick . I have driven my van across North America five times, and spend up to 90 nights a year camping in my van. This has been the best camper van. I am hoping that I get many more years off of my van.

I absolutely love my 2019 Ford Transit Connect XLT so much! It's reliable, great on gas mileage and I love how versatile it is! It's big enough for hauling big items like from Lowe's or Home Depot and that's very important when you own a home! It's better than a pickup truck because everything fits inside so if the weather is raining or snowing I don't have to worry about anything that I'm hauling won't get ruined by the weather!! If I wanted to I can put an air mattress inside of it and take it on a camping trip! How cool is that?

traded in a 2017 Kia Soul for this vehicle as it was on lot with only 26k miles and not a thing wrong with it.

This vehicle has amazing functionality and I average better than advertised fuel economy both in city driving and on highway. The seats are very comfortable and everything is in the proper location. The Transit Connect drives like a car but stores so many work tools with tremendous amounts of cargo space. This is a very well thought out vehicle. I test drove both the Ram Promaster City and Nissan NV200 before driving the Transit Connect. It easily drove the best and was the most comfy.

Like this van overall with a few exceptions. First this vehicle needs at least the 2.5 as an option to non commercial users. The 2.0L is woefully underpowered for a vehicle of this weight. Load this to max GVWR or tow a 2000 trailer? Good luck with that! Now the vehicle has developed a very annoying and noticeable rattle around the instrument cluster. Gas mileage is nice but I’d sacrifice a little MPG for more power
