If you're interested in a cargo van, you might have a hard time distinguishing betweenFord's two new cargo-van offerings. They're similarly named -- one's the Ford Transit; the other is the Ford Transit Connect. They offer similar styling, but in reality, the two models are surprisingly different, offering unique sizes and powertrains. To help you distinguish between the Transit and Transit Connect, we're explaining exactly how you can tell them apart and what makes them so different.

Let's start with the basics: The 2015 Ford Transit is much larger than the 2014 Ford Transit Connect. Although that might not be obvious when you see either one separately, it becomes immediately clear with the two vans right next to one another. Specifically, the Transit (that's the larger one) has a bigger grille, bigger headlights and a much larger cargo area -- even if you opt for the base-level Transit model with the smallest possible wheelbase.
