(2024 Ford Transit Towing Guide)
  • For a 2024 rear-wheel-drive Transit cargo van with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 3.73 axle ratio and 130-inch wheelbase low roof, Ford lists a maximum loaded trailer weight of 6,900 lb and a 12,600-lb gross combined weight rating (2024 model year; United States market; specified Transit cargo-van configuration).

Applies only to the specified configuration and required equipment; Ford says ratings vary with cargo, options, passengers and configuration.

Ford warns that exceeding the stated frontal-area limits may significantly reduce towing-vehicle performance.

These are hitch-receiver capacities; the guide separately requires checking the vehicle-specific towing selector and limits ratings by configuration and equipment.

2024 U.S. Transit inventory context

Ford’s April 2024 gross-stock table listed 41.3 thousand Transit vans in U.S. inventory. (Ford Motor Company April 2024…)

Gross stock is inventory, not sales or vehicles in operation; Ford’s table labels the figure as Transit Van and reports it in thousands.
