About Passenger Vans

Passenger vans offer a convenient means of transportation, and choosing the right one mainly comes down to determining how much space you need. Often designed to transport 15 or fewer passengers, including the driver, passenger vans prioritize people over cargo space and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and configurations. Some models resemble small cargo vans, while others have the look of a traditional van but with an elongated body. Other models resemble step vans but with seats in the back instead of a wide-open cargo hold or racks of shelving units and other types of storage. Whether you’re looking to shuttle guests from the hotel to the airport, students from school to a competition, or your kids to soccer practice, vans provide as little or as much space as you need.

Ford Transit Passenger Van

Common Features

The clearest visual distinction between a passenger van and a cargo van is often the windows. Even if you can’t see the inside well enough to know if the rear has seats or cargo space, windows that go all the way to the back are a good indicator, as cargo vans will typically not have rear windows to prevent outsiders from seeing the cargo inside. Passenger vans also often have side doors that slide open instead of hinged doors. Some vans have rear seats that fold down for extra cargo space when needed.

A van’s passenger capacity usually ranges from five to 15, but some, such as the Ford E550, can carry as many as 32 passengers. Ford offers a wide range of passenger vans that span both the light- and medium-duty categories and provide several capacity options. The Ford E350 and Ford Transit 350 are examples of smaller-capacity vehicles that can typically hold between five and eight people, depending on the seat configuration. The Ford 350 XL can hold up to 14 passengers, and the E450 can hold up to 18 passengers; the E550 that holds as many as 32.
