Ford The automaker’s European arm launched its ultra-durable van in June 2020, two months after Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for a Design patent for Transit Trail’s better features. Over a year later, in August 2021, Ford Agency report Ford had prototypes plying on public roads to develop the Stars and Stripes version of the Transit Trail. Now Muscle cars & trucks speak Ford has returned to USPTO to file more paperwork, registration Brand the Transit Trail Names in the US on April 20.
The slow write could be because there’s more to our versioning than adding the same bits on the Euro van. There, the Transit Trail comes only with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel making 128 horsepower and 266 pound-feet, which is routed through a six-speed gearbox to the front axle fitted with a limited-slip differential. or both axes. Our trucks come with only 275 hp and 262 lb-ft 3.5-liter V6s, or 310 hp and 400 lb-ft twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 3.6-liter V6s. , Both deliver power to a 10-speed transmission. Our Transits are rear-wheel drive or AWD. That also means there’s no LSD for us, or Ford could move the LSD to the rear axle if they choose to offer the van with two powertrains here. The Transit the Trail AWD mid-top is currently limited to fleet customers, so it will need to be prepped for our retail customer brand. And it looks like Ford has nothing else to do right now but make all these engineering changes.
Assuming the Transit Trail arrives, we’d expect the van’s European debut: exclusive 16-inch dual 5-spoke wheels under the black fenders, Raptor-esque grille treatment and trim black trim, a license plate slide, slightly higher ride height, Quickclear heated windscreen, leather seats and Slippery and Mud/Rut driving modes on AWD. MCT wrote, “sources have told us we could see an American version of the Ford Transit Trail debut this year.” Outfitters and #Vanlifers are ready.
