What is the load length of the Transit Courier?
The Transit Courier’s load length varies by variant, with typical figures around 1,157 mm for the standard short-wheelbase version and about 1,719 mm for the long-wheelbase version. Exact measurements depend on year, market, and specific configuration.
In practical terms, the load length is the maximum cargo floor length from the bulkhead to the rear doors that can be used for transporting items inside the van. The two main body lengths used in current Courier models determine the usable cargo length, so the longer variant accommodates longer items than the standard version.
Load length by Courier variant
The Transit Courier is offered in two main body lengths. The figures below reflect typical, current-market specifications for these variants.
- Short-wheelbase (SWB) load length: 1,157 mm (1.157 m)
- Long-wheelbase (LWB) load length: 1,719 mm (1.719 m)
Before listing the figures, note that exact measurements can vary by year, market, and cabin configuration. Use the official Ford build sheet for precise numbers.
In short, the standard Courier provides about 1.16 meters of load length, while the long-wheelbase version offers about 1.72 meters. Always verify the exact numbers in the latest Ford brochure for your year and market.
How load length affects cargo planning
Load length is a key consideration when planning how to transport longer items such as sheets of plywood, pipes, or flat-pack furniture. The longer-wheelbase variant expands usable cargo length by roughly 0.56 meters compared with the standard version, enabling longer items to fit more easily.
Summary
The Transit Courier offers two main cargo-length options: approximately 1.16 meters (SWB) and 1.72 meters (LWB). For the exact current figures in your region and model year, consult Ford’s official specifications.
