Which Ford Transit engine is best? Both the original 2.2-litre and the later 2.0-litre engines offer a good driving experience – but though the 2.0-litre motors have been experiencing some issues (see the Reliability section), they are also more refined and have greater low-down torque.

The planetary return in astrology is when the transiting planet returns to the precise position it was in at the moment of a person’s birth. Symbolically this means that the planet is beginning a new cycle in a person’s life. The most important returns are those of the outer planets Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus.

“In astrology, the term transits refers to the ongoing movement of the planets, in contrast to their positions at your birth or when some other notable event occurred. Every planet makes transits, so we refer to Venus transits, Neptune transits, Uranus transits, and so forth.

“Essentially, transits influence who you meet and what you attract.” The “inner planets” (the moon, sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) move through the signs relatively quickly, so their transits and effects are on the shorter side.

According to Motor and Wheels, the Ford Transit van has a mileage expectancy of around 150,000 miles. That said, if you take care of your cargo van model you can see up to 300,000 miles. Owners report at least 10 – 15 years of service from their vans before having to do extensive repairs or make any major changes.

If you take care of the vehicle, your Ford Transit van can last as long as 160,000-300,000 miles. While testing the Transit before its release into the market, Ford estimated its service life at 150,000 miles. However, some drivers have claimed that Transit vans can last longer than that.

At their most spacious configurations, the RAM ProMaster van upfit can haul more, but the Transit can tow heavier loads. The ProMaster offers more minimum cargo space, but the Transit has more maximum cargo space. The Transit offers an extra roof height, and the ProMaster offers more wheelbase and length options.

The good news is the Transit Custom has an excellent reliability record, but the only fly in the ointment is the 2.0-litre engine. These smooth and powerful units seem to require more oil than is usual, and the problem has been traced back to the injectors.

Its load-carrying capacity is also among the best in class, with a gross vehicle weight range from 2.6 tonnes to 3.4 tonnes. Depending on the body length and height, the maximum payload is as much as 1459kg.

The Ford Transit Custom 280 has a GVW of 2800kg, whereas the Ford Transit Custom 300 has a slightly higher GVW of 3000kg. So, you can see that the difference between the Ford Transit Custom 280 and 300 is the GVW and depending on the load/cargo, the 300 can safely hold a little more than the 280.

The specifications on the Ford Transit show the cargo height for the long length option, coupled with the medium roof gives you 72 inches of standing height. The long and the extra-long versions with the high roof both have just over 81 inches of standing height.

2. It Doesn’t Fit in Car Washes (or Garages) Those extra inches make it tough for a Transit to fit in a car wash, or a home garage or some public parking garages, for that matter. My medium-roof model was 98.8 inches tall, and the tallest Transit van can go up to 108.6 inches, or more than 9 feet tall.
