Description:
All the room your band needs, and at an economical price! The Transit Band Van starts with Ford's proven Transit platform and strips out the rear seating to give you a massive cargo area for gear, cases, and equipment. You'll have space for your whole crew and enough room in the back to leave the trailer at home. It's our most affordable band van option, and with 19 MPG on the highway, your fuel savings add up fast over a long tour. Same iconic black look. Same Bandago quality. Just a more economical ride.
The Transit Band Van is built on Ford's long-wheelbase Transit platform, measuring 19.6 feet long with an 8.25-foot medium roof height. It's a familiar, easy-to-drive vehicle that handles like a large SUV while carrying significantly more than one.
The Right Van for the Budget-Conscious Tour
If you've been eyeing the Sprinter Band Van but want to keep costs down, the Transit Band Van is the answer. You get the same core concept at a more accessible price point: a single van that hauls your whole band and all your gear, no trailer needed. The Transit gets 19 MPG, runs on regular gasoline, and is one of the most reliable platforms on the road. It's also a great fit well beyond touring bands: sports teams traveling with equipment, photographers on location shoots, production crews, event vendors, and anyone else who needs to move both people and cargo without renting two vehicles.
Seating Configurations
The Transit Band Van seats up to 8 passengers including the driver, with comfortable bench seating and 12v power outlets throughout the cabin to keep phones and devices charged on long drives between cities. The Ford Transit's medium roof gives the interior a more open feel than a standard van, so most passengers can move around without stooping. It's a comfortable ride whether you're crossing a state line or just heading across town to load in.
Storage Space
We've removed the rear seating to open up nearly 200 cubic feet of cargo space, plenty of room for amps, cases, instruments, and luggage for the whole crew. The cargo area sits behind the seats, keeping gear in place while your bandmates ride in comfort up front. The Transit's wide rear doors swing fully open for easy loading, and the flat cargo floor makes stacking gear straightforward. Need a tow? The Transit Band Van has a tow hitch available for a trailer if your load ever exceeds the cargo hold.
