Yeah the Transit fills the niche for the smaller cargo van and at a much better price than the Sprinter does.
As to five speed auto over the four speed, that would drive up the cost to build them, for one. Second I don't know that Ford is using the five speed from the four banger Fusion for any new products at this time and third are you sure that transmission would actually be suited for that duty?
I mean it's not like any Fusion is rated to tow according to Ford and I'm not sure that the Transit is any lighter than even the four banger Fusion :unsure:
