Common questions

How many builders convert the Transit?

54 of the shops we list build on the Ford Transit, across 18 states. Plenty of builders work on one platform only, so this is a genuinely different shortlist from the other two.

What does a Transit conversion cost?

Published build costs among these shops run from about $5k to $200k for the conversion alone. The Transit itself is a separate purchase unless the builder sources it, and the chassis price differs sharply between the three platforms, which is worth factoring in before the build quote.

Is the Transit the right platform for me?

AWD available, the largest US service network, and an extended-length high-roof option that suits family layouts.

Still deciding on a platform?

The chassis narrows your builder shortlist more than anything else does, so it is worth settling early.
