Ford Transit 5 Tonne (5T)

The Ford Transit 5T, the most powerful and heavy-duty van ever produced by Ford, provides the ideal foundation for a diverse range of custom conversions.

5.0 Tonne Ford Transit

Ford’s toughest Transit ever features significant mechanical updates to offer customers the best-ever payload and vehicle capability, while maintaining the durability, refinement and car-like driving characteristics that have made Transit a business favourite.

The chassis features upgraded hub assemblies, wheels, tyres and brakes to make light work of heavier loads. Panel vans also benefit from reinforced body structures and ancillaries to support greater cargo weights. The 5.0-tonne Transit is offered as a panel van, single- or double-chassis cab, all rated to 5,000 kg GVM .

The 5.0-tonne option will be available across a broad range of Transit chassis cab variants, giving customers a choice of three wheelbases, four frame lengths, and single- or double-cabs with seating for up to seven occupants (including driver) to best suit their business’ specific requirements.

Maximum chassis cab load capacity is 2,886 kg 2 for body conversion and payload, which equates to up to 2,558 kg net payload 2 when equipped with a factory-fitted flatbed body.

Transit chassis cab is ideal for heavier open-body conversions such as tippers or dropsides, aerial access platforms and vehicle transporters.

All 5.0-tonne Transit variants are rear-wheel drive for optimum traction when fully laden, and fitted with Ford’s HDT powertrain for optimum durability, performance and fuel efficiency.

Connectivity

The new 5.0-tonne Transit variant benefits from many of the key interior design, driver assistance and connectivity features introduced to the Transit family.

Ford’s innovative connectivity features also help operators to plan maintenance and oversee vehicle security, leading to increased uptime. A FordPass Connect 4 modem features as standard, allowing over-the-air software updates to minimise dealer visits and displaying key information such as vehicle location, oil life and tyre pressures through the FordPass Pro app, 5 simplifying vehicle management.
