The Ford Authority Take

The numbers continue to speak for themselves: the Ford Transit Connect continued to dominate its segment during the first quarter of 2020, despite seeing a 15 percent sales drop as a result of the coronavirus breakout. We expect this trend to maintain as long as the virus continues to impact vehicle production and demand.

For the 2021 model year, Ford will discontinue the Transit Connect Taxi package, while also making a few minor changes to the product.
