CarTell take

We haven't driven the Transit yet. On paper, diesel van pricing varies by variant, roof and state, so get a written drive-away quote. Ford's estimate starts at $69,393 (postcode 2000, business use). The E-Transit has no build and price tool and is dealer enquiry only, so confirm stock. Bus and cab chassis versions are sold separately and not covered here.

Why consider it

  • The 500E's 15.1 m3 and 1,792 kg payload, plus 3,500 kg towing on rear drive models.

What to know

  • Ford AU publishes only drive-away prices, and the E-Transit is still the older 2023.50MY build with no towing rating.

Who it suits

Couriers, removalists and trades who fill a mid-size van every day, and fleets that need a 3.5 tonne towing rating or a 4.5 tonne GVM.
