Used 2014 Ford Transit Connect XL

The 2014 Transit Connect XL in the Long Wheelbase (LWB) cargo configuration is a functional and versatile compact commercial van designed for practical use rather than luxury. With its extended wheelbase, the vehicle offers greater cargo-area length, making it a strong choice for businesses, delivery work, mobile service operations or anyone needing a maneuverable van with serious utility. Under the hood you’ll find a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-4 engine producing around 169 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. This powertrain delivers modest but reasonable performance for the class and comes with fuel economy ratings around 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway in the cargo configuration. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and payload figures reflect its utility focus—payloads in the 1,500-plus-pound range and a maximum towing capacity of about 2,000 pounds in some configurations. The longer wheelbase adds valuable cargo length, helping accommodate larger or longer items more effectively than the shorter version. The XL trim emphasizes utility: standard features are straightforward—vinyl or durable flooring, minimal cosmetic trim, and a focus on durability over flair. Inside the front cabin, the driver and front passenger seats are basic yet functional, with manual adjustments and a straightforward dashboard layout optimized for practicality. Features include a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, power front windows (in many versions), an auxiliary power outlet, and a simple audio head unit—everything is geared toward work use. The cargo bay behind the driver/front-passenger area is open and spacious, with load-floor lengths (in the LWB) that make it easier to load equipment, parcels or crates. Load-height at the curb is low, making loading easier, and the width between the wheelhouses—though narrower than full-size vans—is adequate for standard pallets or commercial gear. In terms of usability, the Transit Connect’s smaller footprint compared to full-size vans is a plus: it’s easier to park, easier to navigate in urban settings, and generally less expensive to operate and maintain. These advantages make the LWB cargo version especially attractive for fleet buyers, contractor setups, or anyone needing a budget-friendly van with more space than typical compact cargo vans. On the flip side, buyers should accept some trade-offs. While larger than many car-based vans, it still isn’t as roomy as full-size vans—so if you need tall racks, enormous cargo volume or maximal towing, you might look elsewhere. Also, the cargo version is bare-bones: don’t expect luxury features, premium materials or advanced infotainment systems unless aftermarket upgrades have been installed. Fuel consumption, while reasonable for a work van, will still be higher than a typical sedan. Lastly, since many of these were used in commercial or fleet service, verifying maintenance history is important—especially condition of sliding doors, cargo-area wear and any heavy-duty service use. In summary: the 2014 Transit Connect XL LWB Cargo is a very practical, well-sized work vehicle that hits a sweet spot between compact vans and full-size vans. It offers respectable performance, good fuel economy for the class, extended cargo length, and a form-factor that’s manageable in tighter urban or suburban environments. If your priority is efficient, flexible cargo capability rather than passenger luxury, this model delivers exactly that.
