Ford Transit Connect
Arriving in 2010, the Ford Transit Connect established the US compact commercial van segment as a fuel-efficient alternative to full-size vans. The second generation's car-based platform gives it surprisingly nimble handling, which has earned it a strong following.

The Ford Transit Connect arrived in the US for the 2010 model year, establishing a new segment for compact commercial vans. Based on a successful European model, it offered businesses a smaller, more fuel-efficient alternative to full-size vans. The second generation, launched in 2014, was a major update, sharing its platform with the Ford Focus and Escape, which gave it much improved, car-like driving dynamics.
While not a traditional collector vehicle, the Transit Connect has a strong following with 'van life' enthusiasts and small business owners. Its appeal comes from its manageable size, practical interior, and efficient powertrains. Passenger versions, known as the Wagon, are particularly sought-after for camper conversions. Ford's decision to discontinue the van for the US market after 2023 may increase interest in clean, low-mileage examples.
The current market is driven by utility rather than collectibility. With an average sale price under $9,000, most transactions are for used work vans. The wide price spectrum reflects a market that includes high-mileage fleet vehicles at the bottom and brand-new or professionally converted campers at the top.
Buying Tips
- Check for a history of fleet use, which can mean higher mileage and more wear than a privately owned van.
- The 6F35 6-speed automatic transmission used in 2014-2018 models can be problematic. Test drive for any hesitation or hard shifts.
- Inspect the sliding door mechanisms. They can wear out, leading to rattles, alignment issues, or difficulty latching properly.
- Look for rust on the underbody, suspension components, and around the roof where racks may have been mounted, especially on vehicles from cold-weather climates.
Prices range from $500 for high-mileage project vans to $55,000 for new or professionally converted models.
