- Reliability (4)Ford Transit models are generally known for their durability and the 2018 model continues this trend. With proper maintenance, these vans tend to be reliable workhorses, capable of handling demanding daily use without major issues.
- Maintenance (4)Maintenance costs are generally reasonable for a commercial vehicle. Parts are widely available, and many independent shops are familiar with servicing these vans. Routine service intervals are standard, contributing to manageable long-term ownership costs.
- Technology (3)The technology in the XLT trim is functional, offering basic infotainment and connectivity options. While not cutting-edge, it provides essential features like Bluetooth and a decent audio system. Advanced driver-assist features are limited compared to newer vehicles.
- Comfort (3)The comfort is adequate for a commercial van. The seats are reasonably supportive for long drives, but the ride can be a bit firm, especially when unladen. Noise levels are acceptable but not car-like.
- Dynamics (4)Despite its size, the 2018 Ford Transit 350 XLT handles surprisingly well for a large van. Steering is responsive, and body roll is managed effectively, making it feel more maneuverable than expected in urban environments and on highways.
