What is the interior height of the Ford Transit?

Interior height depends on the van’s roof height. In current models, Ford Transit offers Low Roof, Medium Roof, and High Roof options, with the interior ceiling height increasing with each option. The figures below are approximate and can vary by year, market, and configuration.


For a quick sense of the clearance, think of roughly 68 inches for a Low Roof, around 78 inches for a Medium Roof, and about 82 inches for a High Roof. Exact measurements should be confirmed on the specific vehicle build or official Ford specifications.


Roof heights and interior clearance


The interior height varies by roof option. The following are typical clearances reported for common cargo configurations in recent Ford Transit models. Exact numbers can differ by wheelbase, year, and regional market, so refer to the official spec sheet for your vehicle.



  • Low Roof: about 68 inches (173 cm) interior height.

  • Medium Roof: about 78 inches (198 cm) interior height.

  • High Roof: about 82 inches (208 cm) interior height.


These heights reflect standard cargo configurations and may vary slightly if seats, insulation, or other interior components are installed. For precise measurements, measure from floor to ceiling at the vehicle’s central interior point or consult the manufacturer’s data for your exact year and model.


Why interior height matters


Interior height influences standing room, cargo fit, and conversion potential. Fleet operators and converters weigh the ceiling clearance against typical loads, shelving layouts, and workflow needs when selecting a roof height.


How to verify for your build


To confirm the exact interior height for your Ford Transit, check the official product sheet for your specific year and trim, or ask your dealer. If you are planning a conversion, physically measure inside the vehicle from the floor to the ceiling at multiple points to ensure consistent clearance.


Having the right height on record helps ensure your cargo or conversion plans align with real-world clearance and load requirements.


Summary


In summary, the Ford Transit’s interior height varies by roof height: Low Roof ≈ 68 inches, Medium Roof ≈ 78 inches, High Roof ≈ 82 inches. Use the vehicle’s official specifications for precise figures tied to your year, market, and configuration, especially if you are planning storage, shelving, or a conversion.


If you want, I can tailor the numbers to a specific year, market (US vs Europe), and roof type—just share the details and I’ll pull the exact figures.
