Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Transit.
The 2025 Ford Transit on the 250 platform enters its model year with early owner feedback limited to 2 total complaints and 4 recalls issued so far, though service brakes have emerged as the primary concern area among reported issues. Over its complaint history spanning 2001-2026, the Transit shows considerable variability, peaking at 188 complaints in 2015 before declining to a low of just 1 in 2001, suggesting that refinements made following the earlier problematic years have substantially strengthened reliability outcomes that appear sustained into the current model.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Transit appears early in its model cycle with only two documented complaint categories — Service Brakes and Forward Collision Avoidance — each with a single report, and zero crash or fire complaints. The federal record shows the previous generation (2014–2020) peaking sharply in 2015 with 188 complaints and 26 recalls, then declining steadily to 82 complaints and 9 recalls by 2020. The 2026 model year, the next data point, drops further to just 5 complaints, no recalls, and only 7 TSBs, suggesting a maturing platform. The 2025 data, though sparse, aligns with this downward trajectory and shows no safety-critical trends; the data doesn't specify root causes for the two complaint areas. Takeaway: 2025 appears to be a low-risk year to buy, continuing the generation's improving reliability arc.
