Should I Buy the 2022 Ford Transit Connect?

Even in its passenger-carrying form, the Transit Connect is closer to a utility van than to one of the minivans offered by competing automakers. It’s not as easy as a traditional minivan to convert from passenger- to cargo-carrying duty, but it does offer good passenger space, a low load floor and numerous versions to fit specific needs.
