Ford Transit 350 – A Practical Workhorse Through the Years

The Ford Transit 350 is an icon among UK commercial vehicles, consistently delivering the payload, durability and dependability that businesses rely on. Whether configured as a van, dropside, tipper or Luton, the 3.5-tonne GVW Transit offers exceptional versatility without compromising road handling.

Which Model Year to Buy?

Late 1990s–2006: Establishing the GVW 350 Variant

The Transit 350 model first appeared in the late 1990s during the third generation of Transit development. Ford began assigning model numbers based on gross vehicle weight, with 350 signifying a 3.5-tonne rating—the legal limit for standard UK Category B driving licence holders.

Early Transit 350s were available with:

  • Rear-wheel drive (RWD) and twin rear wheels
  • Multiple body styles including long wheelbase (LWB) and high roof
  • Diesel engines ranging from 2.4L to 2.5L
  • Payloads exceeding 1,500kg depending on configuration

These vehicles were ideal for builders, delivery firms and trades that needed higher payloads and towing ability without upgrading licence classes.

2006: Fourth-Generation Upgrade – Refinement Begins

The 2006 Transit refresh marked a turning point for the Transit 350’s refinement and driver comfort:

  • Introduction of Duratorq TDCi engines for better fuel economy and emissions
  • Enhanced safety with ABS and optional ESP
  • Upgraded cabin materials and more ergonomic dashboard
  • Improved suspension tuning for long-distance driving

The Transit 350 remained available in FWD, RWD and AWD layouts, with body styles including L3H3 (long, high roof), jumbo panel van, and tipper. The chassis cab versions became especially popular for bespoke conversions.

 

2014: Fifth Generation – Smarter and Stronger

Ford fully redesigned the Transit line-up in 2014, separating the smaller Transit Custom from the larger Transit 350 and up:

  • Sharper styling with wide grille and swept headlamps
  • Improved cargo access with wider rear doors and lower loading heights
  • Introduction of 2.2L and later 2.0L EcoBlue Euro 6 engines, offering up to 170PS
  • Optional SYNC infotainment system and enhanced driver visibility

With payloads remaining above 1,400kg, the Transit 350 offered more car-like handling thanks to electric power-assisted steering and refined gear ratios. Long wheelbase variants were now available with extended body and Luton box options.

This generation cemented the Transit 350 as a go-to van for national fleets, mobile contractors and rural trades.

2019–2020: Facelift and Mild Hybrid Introduction

Ford’s mid-generation update focused on connectivity, efficiency and emission reductions:

  • Introduction of 2.0L EcoBlue HDT engines, compliant with stricter Euro 6.2 standards
  • Optional 48-volt mild hybrid technology (mHEV) on FWD models
  • New dashboard with SYNC 3 infotainment and enhanced ergonomics
  • Optional driver-assist features: blind spot alert, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist

The Transit 350 gained better urban drivability, improved mpg figures, and smarter fleet management tools via FordPass Pro, aimed at small business operators.

RWD models remained the preferred choice for tipping bodies and heavier payload applications, while FWD offered better traction for van conversions.

2023–2024: Preparing for Electrification

As Ford ramps up its electrification plans, the Transit 350 platform is expected to influence the upcoming E-Transit L4 variants and heavier payload electric models. While the E-Transit currently focuses on the 3.5-tonne class, equivalent payload capacity is being integrated.

Meanwhile, diesel-powered Transit 350s remain relevant for long-haul and specialist trades, particularly with:

  • 170PS EcoBlue engine rated for up to 3,500kg towing
  • Stability controls for tipper configurations
  • Optional twin rear wheels and extra-long L4 chassis

Buyers can choose between van or chassis cab, with upfit options for fridge units, dropsides, Luton boxes and crew cabs.

Buying Guide – New vs Used Transit 350

New Models

  • Benefit from latest emissions compliance (Euro 6.2 and E-Transit variants)
  • Advanced driver aids and fleet management tech
  • Warranty coverage and finance flexibility
  • Best for businesses wanting tax efficiency, lower running costs and reliability over high mileage.

Used Models

  • Excellent value in 2015–2019 Euro 6 diesels
  • Proven EcoBlue engine durability
  • Available in tipper, dropside and Luton pre-converted formats
  • Ideal for builders, courier services and trades needing payload over refinement.

Payload and Configuration Options

Transit 350s offer:

  • Gross vehicle weight: 3,500kg
  • Payload: typically 1,300–1,450kg depending on spec
  • Towing capacity: up to 3,500kg with appropriate engine and drivetrain
  • Configurations: L3/L4 lengths, H2/H3 roof heights, crew cabs, chassis cabs

This flexibility makes it one of the most customisable heavy vans on the market.

Running Costs and Service Support

Ford’s UK network ensures strong support and service coverage.

  • Service intervals: 2 years / 30,000 miles
  • EcoBlue engines offer up to 40mpg on lighter loads
  • Mild hybrids reduce fuel use in urban conditions
  • Insurance costs vary by body type and usage class
  • Transit 350s hold value well, particularly Luton and tipper variants with full service history.

Our View

Whether you opt for a diesel variant or await heavier-duty electrified versions, the Transit 350 remains a top-tier option for buyers seeking a workhorse that’s proven, practical and widely supported.
