The register lists a four-cylinder engine of 1,995 cm³. Against a kerb weight of 2,485 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 4,700 kg, this leaves a payload of around 2,215 kg. The vehicle is 7,610 mm long, 2,260 mm wide, has a wheelbase of 4,520 mm and runs on six wheels.

The gas drive requires additional tanks, which on this Transit increase the gross vehicle weight compared with an otherwise identical diesel model, lifting it from the light class N1 into class N2. For the driver, that means needing at least licence category C1 rather than the ordinary car licence that would still cover an otherwise identical diesel Transit below 3.5 tonnes.

When buying a used gas-powered Transit, checking the gas system, including tanks and lines, and the due date of the mandatory tank re-inspection by an approved inspector, matters most. Add to that the usual checks on the Transit chassis: the condition of the brakes and suspension under the increased payload, corrosion on the frame and wheel arches, and whether a local workshop is set up to service natural-gas vehicles.
