Does the Ford Transit Come in Different Roof Heights?
Yes! The Ford Transit comes in three roof types: low, medium, and high. Depending on your business needs and who/what will be in the van, these three roofs give you plenty of flexibility to design and choose the perfect Transit vehicle. Also, the higher your Transit roof, the more challenging it can be to fit into a standard residential garage. Many businesses that opt for high-roof Ford Transit vehicles have dedicated commercial spaces to store them, or they simply keep them outside or under covered parking. Let’s cover these dimensions in this next section.
TL;DR: The Ford Transit comes in three roof-height options. You can choose between low, medium, and high roof designs for this work van, with the highest roof offering 6.8 feet of interior cargo height.
What are the Ford Transit Roof Height Dimensions?
If you have decided on the Ford Transit but don’t know which roof height works best for you, review all three options and their dimensions below. Remember, a standard low-roof Transit may still be a viable residential choice for storage and parking, while anything in the medium or high range may need to be parked in a commercial garage or under high-clearance covered parking.
Low Roof
- Exterior height: 82.2" to 82.9" (~6.9 feet)
- Interior cargo height: 56.9" (4.7 feet)
Medium Roof
- Exterior height: 99.2" to 101.3" (~8.3 to 8.4 feet)
- Interior cargo height: 72.0" (6.0 feet)
High Roof
- Exterior height: 108.6" to 110.4" (~9.0 to 9.2 feet)
- Interior cargo height: 81.5" (6.8 feet)
Of these three roofs, the medium and high designs give you the best space to stand and work inside the vehicle. Often, these vans are used for more than driving, so people love the extra headroom and space to use their tools, get things organized, and hold on-site meetings. Our team at Best Ford is always ready to walk you through the size differences of the Ford Transit, and we can work with your business type to design the perfect van.
Which Roof Height is the Best for a Ford Transit?
If you’re interested in a Ford Transit vehicle, the best roof height is entirely subjective. As we mentioned before, this van can be as spacious as you’d like, or as residential-garage-friendly as you need it to be. Normally, businesses prefer the middle-ground medium roof design when choosing a Ford Transit, but we get quite a few business owners inquiring about our tallest high-roof configuration. This needs to make sense for your brand, so an HVAC company owner will have different needs than someone using the Ford Transit to shuttle people back and forth for a tour, from the airport, or for general shuttle services.
You can have several rows of seats in a Ford Transit, which is usually paired with the low- to medium-roof design. Many people with industrial or service-based businesses prefer the high-roof style with minimal rear seating so they can optimize their space.
Can I Park the Ford Transit in My Garage?
You can park certain Ford Transit models in a standard home garage. However, this applies to the low-roof model, which stands at just under 7 feet tall (roughly 80-83 inches depending on specs). Even with the low-roof configuration, we recommend measuring your garage ceiling and entry point before trying to drive a vehicle in to park. The medium- and high-roof Transits likely won’t fit in a home garage and will instead need a commercial garage or a space with high clearance (up to 9.2+ feet). Our Best Ford team here in Nashua, NH, can walk you through the exterior vs. interior specs of these models, and we’ll be here to help you with a test drive. Getting behind the wheel and seeing how big these truly are is always eye-opening for business owners.
How Many Seats Does a Ford Transit Have?
A full-size Ford Transit passenger van seats between 8 and 15 people, depending on how you design it. Just like with roof height, you can take a more people-friendly route in your design, or go very commercial-friendly with as few as two front seats. This is what makes the Ford Transit so special, and a perfect custom vehicle for a brand or business. Even more than that, the Transit is available in flexible layouts including 8, 12, or 15 seats, enough to support your entire employee base, normal customer numbers, or everyday needs for seating and people volume.
Should I Invest in a Ford Transit for My Business?
Yes! A Ford Transit can be a great investment for your business, as it’s a practical choice for most mobile service, delivery, and trade companies and brands. Whether you are a home service provider, event coordinator, airport shuttle driver, delivery driver, or anything in between, this van makes the most of its space and cargo. You can choose from three roof heights and configure the interior seating to fit up to 15 people. It’s a must-have!
