Ford Transit Performance Overview
Ford Transit performance in the U.S.-market Mk8 era spans 2015 to 2020 in this dataset, covering 7 verified tests across gasoline and diesel configurations. Output ranged from 185 to 310 hp, with turbocharged diesel and twin-turbo EcoBoost gasoline engines shaping a broad spread in acceleration. Early results showed that spread clearly: the 2015 350 XLT EcoBoost Wagon (12-pass 148WB HR) reached 60 mph in 7.5 seconds, while the 2015 350 HD Diesel Van DRW (148WB HR) needed 12.5 seconds, establishing the lower end of the model’s recorded range.
As testing progressed through the Mk8 run, EcoBoost versions set the pace. A 2017 350 EcoBoost Van (148WB MR) cut the benchmark to 6.8 seconds to 60 mph, and the 2020 350 Crew EcoBoost Van (148WB HR) became the quickest Transit tested at 6.7 seconds to 60 mph and a class-leading-for-this-dataset 15.3 seconds in the quarter-mile at 89 mph. Even within passenger-oriented layouts, performance stayed relatively close, as shown by the 2020 350 XLT EcoBoost Wagon (12-pass 148WB MR) at 7.3 seconds. Across these 2015–2020 tests, the Transit stands today as a platform with a wide real-world performance envelope defined primarily by engine choice, body configuration, and payload-focused setup.

How we verify Ford Transit performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Ford Transit trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
