The 2023 Ford E-Transit van is available through Prestige Ford of Mount Dora in three core configurations. The cargo van is the most popular, but the cutaway and chassis cab options are ideal for businesses that need to customize their vehicle beyond a standard cargo van.

Both the long and extended have 148-inch wheelbases, but the extended model is approximately 28 inches longer overall. Sixteen-inch steel wheels with full silver-colored wheel covers are standard equipment.

There are also a wide range of trade-oriented interior upfit packages, such as for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians and so forth. The E-Transit actually allows for more overall cargo space than the standard Transit due to the positioning of the electric powertrain.
