Our mission
Help every Transit owner—whether you manage a fleet, run a trade, deliver parcels, or build a camper—find accurate, plain‑English answers quickly, with the right references to dig deeper.
What we cover
- Maintenance & Service: intervals, fluids, capacities, tires, and routine care.
- Troubleshooting & Diagnostics: common symptoms, decision trees, and safe first checks.
- Specs & History: dimensions, payload/GVWR, engines, roof heights, wheelbases, and model changes.
- E‑Transit & EV: charging, range factors, depot/home setup, and telematics basics.
- Upfitting & Conversions: mounting points, wiring considerations, cargo management, ventilation, insulation, and safety.
- Ownership & Legal: inspections, insurance basics, weight classes, compliance concepts (high‑level, not legal advice).
- Recalls & Safety: how to check your VIN, owner actions, and safe‑work practices.
- Fleet & Business: PM programs, driver policies, data/telematics, and lifecycle cost inputs.
Why trust us
- Experienced team: Our editors and contributors have worked in various editorial, operations, and product roles within the StrongMocha News Group in the past, where they honed skills in fact‑checking, sourcing, and clear service journalism. (Ford‑Transit Info is independent and not affiliated with StrongMocha.)
- Source‑first content: We reference primary materials wherever practical (owner manuals, official bulletins, body builder documentation, recall portals) and clearly label assumptions or regional differences.
- Safety‑minded editing: We focus on non‑hazardous tasks suitable for general readers. When a procedure requires specialized tools, training, or torque specs, we say so and point you to official documentation or a qualified professional.
- No fluff: We avoid sensational takes and prioritize accuracy, context, and practical utility.
What we are not
- We are not affiliated with Ford Motor Company. “Ford,” “Transit,” and “E‑Transit” are trademarks of Ford Motor Company.
- We’re not a dealership, service center, or replacement for official workshop manuals.
- We do not provide individualized mechanical, legal, insurance, or regulatory advice.
Editorial standards
- Clarity & scope: Articles explain what a topic is, why it matters, and the safest first steps.
- Verification: We cross‑check specs and guidance against authoritative sources before publishing or updating.
- Updates & change logs: When specs or policies change, we update articles and note material edits.
- Global awareness: Transit specs can vary by region and year. We call out differences (US/EU/UK) explicitly.
- People‑first language & accessibility: Content is written to be skimmable—headings, steps, tables, and definitions.
Monetization & independence
Our work is funded by display advertising and, at times, clearly disclosed affiliate links to relevant tools, parts, or services that help you complete a task. Links never affect the facts we publish.
- If affiliate links are present, you’ll see a disclosure (e.g., “As an Amazon Associate, we may earn from qualifying purchases.”).
- No pay‑to‑play: Sponsorships or paid placements—if we ever run them—are labeled “Sponsored” and do not influence our editorial conclusions.
- We do not publish salesy “reviews.” When we mention products, it’s to explain fitment, specs, or safe use in context.
Corrections, feedback, and expert contributions
We strive to be right the first time. If you spot an error, have a documentation tip, or want to contribute your expertise (fleet manager, upfitter, technician, EV specialist), we want to hear from you.
