The overlanding mobile home segment has enjoyed great popularity, at least since Corona. And right in the middle is the Ford Transit Trail from Ford Pro, which was presented in the USA last week. Compared to the standard model, the loading master has a good nine centimeters more ground clearance and a track that is seven centimeters wider. It also stands on black 16-inch rims and these are fitted with 30,5-inch (0,77 m) Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse off-road tires. And while we here in Germany have to be satisfied with a maximum of 170 hp, the Transit in the USA rolls out to the customer with a 3,5-liter bi-turbo V6 with 314 hp (231 kW) and a maximum torque of 543 Newton meters. There is also a 10-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. There are also five selectable driving modes (Normal, Eco, Mud/Ruts, Tow/Haul/Slippery).
