Used 2023 Ford E-Transit for Sale near Modesto, CA

The automotive world is going electric, and that includes commercial vehicles like trucks and vans. Ford, a leader in the commercial space, became one of the first to offer a fully electric van. The E-Transit debuted for 2022 with a range of up to 126 miles and all the practicality and usefulness that buyers expect in a full-size work van. The E-Transit will carry over into 2023 mostly unchanged, apart from a stout $3,700 price increase. Strong demand and increased production costs have caused Ford to respond by bumping the price up. With a range of just 126 miles, the E-Transit might seem impractical, but that distance is ideal for in-town deliveries and tradespeople who spend most of their time traveling short distances from job to job. A 68-kWh battery provides power for the van, and it features a rear e-motor that produces 266 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Like Ford’s other electrified vehicles, the F-150 Lightning and F-150 Powerboost, the E-Transit features a Pro Power Onboard generator that can provide 2.4 kilowatts of power for tools and other equipment. It can also provide temporary power for homes during outages. It may carry an advanced electric powertrain, but the E-Transit is still a workhorse, first and foremost. The van is available with three roof heights and three lengths. Ford offers cargo, chassis cab, and cutaway body configurations and notes that the E-Transit offers the same cargo dimensions and capabilities as its gas-powered counterpart. Ford sells several upfits for the E-Transit, which include shelving, cargo anchors, and custom interior components for different job functions like plumbing, electrical, and carpentry. Depending on the roof height, the van can be fitted with overhead shelving, cargo boxes, and interior work surfaces. Commercial vans aren’t particularly lauded for their tech and convenience features, but the E-Transit is better than most. It comes standard with a 12-inch touchscreen running Ford’s excellent Sync 4 infotainment system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, along with over-the-air (OTA) updates, Bluetooth, and navigation. The system’s cloud updates enable navigation with traffic and other information delivered in real-time. Most advanced safety tech is held back for added-cost options packages, which is par for the course with most commercial vehicles. Available features include speed-limit recognition, adaptive cruise control, reverse-brake assist, and more.
