What size speakers are in the 2013 Ford Transit?
The 2013 Ford Transit typically uses 6.5-inch front-door speakers, with dash speakers usually around 4 inches, and rear-area speakers that vary by trim and market. Exact sizes depend on the audio option and country, so check your VIN or owner’s documentation for precise specifications.
Common factory sizes by location
Below is a practical guide to the most frequently found speaker sizes in the 2013 Transit, noting that configurations can differ by trim and market. Use this as a baseline and verify against your vehicle’s specifications.
- Front doors: 6.5 inches (165 mm) — most configurations use standard 2-way 6.5" speakers, often with a separate tweeter mounted in the door panel or dash area.
- Dashboard: around 4 inches (100 mm) — common for the main dash speaker; some trims place a smaller 3.5–4" speaker in the center dash area and may include a dedicated tweeter elsewhere.
- Rear area: varies by trim — some higher-spec models include rear speakers (commonly 5x7" or 6x9"), while base versions may have no rear speakers.
Because manufacturing options differ by market and model year, there is no single rear-speaker size for all 2013 Transits.
Market and trim variations
Audio systems in the 2013 Transit were offered with multiple options, so speaker sizes can differ by region and trim level. The notes below reflect common patterns observed in European-market Transit vans around that year.
- Base/Standard trims: front 6.5" speakers with no rear speakers; dash speaker size around 4", with possible aftermarket upgrades.
- Mid-range trims: front 6.5" + dash around 4"; some markets add rear speakers (often 5x7" or 6x9") or a larger infotainment system.
- Higher-end/Factory audio: front 6.5" + dash 4" + rear 6x9" or 5x7" depending on the country; additional tweeters may be included in A-pillars or dash assemblies.
Again, exact sizes depend on the country and the specific dealer-installed options. For precise measurements, consult the vehicle’s VIN-specific documentation or Ford’s parts catalog.
How to verify the exact sizes on your van
To ensure you order the correct replacements or plan an upgrade, verify with these steps:
- Remove the grille or panel to measure the mounting diameter directly, using a ruler or caliper for accuracy.
- Check the owner’s manual or Ford’s official parts catalog for your VIN to confirm OE specifications.
- If upgrading, plan around the standard 6.5" front-door size and verify mounting depth and magnet clearance for aftermarket speakers.
Reach out to a Ford dealer or a qualified car audio installer if you need precise measurements or mounting templates for your specific vehicle.
Summary
The 2013 Ford Transit most commonly features 6.5-inch front-door speakers, with dash speakers typically around 4 inches; rear speakers, if present, vary by trim and market. Because options differed by country and model line, always verify the exact sizes for your VIN using the owner’s manual or Ford’s parts catalog before purchasing replacements or upgrades.
