What Ford Transit Cargo do most buyers choose?

The Ford Transit Cargo years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2019.

What is the Ford Transit Cargo's resale value?

Most model years in this set are moving lower year over year, which can create better buying opportunities for used shoppers. The sharpest declines are concentrated in the earlier part of the table, while the newest years are much closer to flat. That pattern suggests recent inventory has been steadier, even as older examples continue to soften.

The 2023 and 2024 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2024, 2023, and 2019 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Ford Transit Cargo now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2023 model is at −0.5% versus a year ago, and the 2022 model is at −10.73%.
• Deal availability: The 2023 model has 27% good and great deals.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The new standard engine for the 2020 model year is a 3.5-liter naturally-aspirated V6. It makes 275 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, while the optional 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 puts out 310 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque.
• Tech: Our test van came with the optional SYNC 3 infotainment system, operated via an 8.0-inch touchscreen, and it comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard equipment.

• Starting price: Base MSRP for the 2020 Ford Transit is $34,510 for the cargo van.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
