Ford's 2012 Commercial Vehicle Options for Your Business

Ford has decades of experience offering commercial vehicles that businesses love and rely on for many years. If you are shopping for a replacement van for your business, consider the following commercial vehicles built by Ford.

Econoline Cargo Van & Wagon

Ford’s Econoline (E-Series) Van has been the best-selling full-size van in America for the last 32 years. The E-150 will carry about 236 cubic feet of cargo space, while the E-250 and E-350 are available in optional Extended lengths if you want to increase that number to 275 cubic feet. In terms of power, you can get a 225-horsepower 4.6-liter V8, an optional 5.4-liter V8 that can churn out 255 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, or (on the E-350) a 6.8-liter V10 worth 305 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.

Econoline Commercial Chassis & Cutaway

As with the Econoline Cargo Van & Wagon, the Econoline Chassis & Cutaway models are affordable and dependable. And they come with your choice of many customizable features designed to enhance the usability of your Ford for the needs of your start-up business. The Econonoline Chassis, for instance, can be custom built to serve as an RV, an ambulance, a bus, a delivery truck, and more.

Transit Connect

Ford broke new ground when it released the Transit Connect. The biggest advantages are its car-like handling—parking and driving around town is easy—and that it saves your business hundreds of dollars in fuel per year thanks to 22 mpg city and 27 mpg highway fuel economy. The Ford Transit Connect was designed for easy access to cargo, which is offered by big, wide-opening doors that open into a spacious cargo are. The Transit Connect is also available as an electric vehicle.

Some Helpful Tips to Assure that that New Ford is Yours

Is it time to trade in your current ride? Driving the Ford of your dreams is easier than you think. The following guide will tell you how you can make your new-car dreams a reality.

Examine Your Finances

The first step is to figure out how much car you can afford. If money’s a little tight, and you have enough patience to wait on purchasing a new Ford, you might want to look at ways that you can improve your credit score. This will probably lower the interest rate you will be offered, and decrease the amount of money you will pay in the long run to finance a new Ford.

Explore Your Needs in a Vehicle

If you want to be happy with your Ford in the long run, you should look at your automotive needs first. Be sure to consider price, cargo space, interior room, fuel mileage, and comfort. Your new Ford should blend seamlessly with your current lifestyle, if not enhance it.

Research Various Models

The next step is to start researching a new Ford. Compare vehicles side by side, read reviews, and visit Ford.com to inspect the interior and exterior of the cars you are considering.

Test Drive Different Models

One of the most important steps is the test-driving process. Go to the dealership and test drive several cars so that you can draw meaningful comparisons between each model. To make the most of your test drive, take the car out on a variety of road surfaces, evaluate the comfort of the seats as critically as possible, and consider how easily the car handles and parks.

Secure Financing

Your last step will be to arrange financing. Sometimes you can get a great bargain if you finance at the Ford dealership, other times it makes sense to look at other options like banks and credit unions.
