The four-cylinder diesel engine has a displacement of 1,995cc and produces 114kW, with top speed given as 140km/h. With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg and an unladen weight of 2,521kg, a payload of 979kg remains. A length of 6,700mm, on a wheelbase of 3,950mm and a width of 2,425mm, corresponds to a wide chassis with a body fitted.
At 114kW, the engine ranks among the stronger versions of the two-litre diesel in the current Transit range. The vehicle falls under EU category N1 and can be driven on a category B licence as long as the gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg is not exceeded.
When buying used, the usual Transit chassis points apply – timing chain, brakes, corrosion on the floor pan and wheel arches – along with the mounting and weatherproofing of the body. Spare parts for the widely used Transit chassis are broadly available, while parts for the special body are available only to a limited extent. With an engine this powerful in its class, it is also worth checking the boost system and the particulate filter, as sustained heavy loads place greater demand on the exhaust after-treatment.
