2017 Transit Connect Order Guide

I've got a '15 FTC shorty that I like very much but . . . . .

 

The stock engine does not have enough guts and I now know the 1.5 ecoboost would have been the better choice. The 6 speed auto transmission is horrible with the stock engine.

 

So for 2017 Ford has eliminated the option to pay for a better engine and the vehicle is still stuck with that transmission that can not handle mountains?

 

The FTC would be a more fun, more useful vehicle with the 1.5 ecoboost and a six speed manual but Ford now offers the vehicle with only the worst possible engine and the worst possible transmission.

 

I'd order a new FTC with a proper engine/transmission but now the Mercedes Metris has gotten me interested.

I drove an Escape back in December with the 2.0 EcoBoost in it. It wasn't a screamer, but it could get up to speed quite well with the 240HP under my right foot. I wish Ford would install this engine in the TC!

FYI, you cannot get the 1.6 in the LWB's.
