To celebrate the debut of Transit on 'American Pickers,' Ford is hosting a scavenger hunt that challenges contestants to find one of 10 scale-model Transit vehicles on display in antique shops across the United States. The 10 winners get the use of a 2015 Transit for two weeks. (Visit http://social.ford.com/winTransit for details.) 'We are thrilled to expand the great multi-year relationship we have with Ford, said Peter Olsen, executive vice president of national ad sales for History. 'We look forward to the Transit being part of Pickers for many years to come.' The 2015 model year Transit – built at Ford's Kansas City Assembly Plant – will be available in three body lengths, two wheelbases and three roof heights; in van, wagon, chassis cab and cutaway body styles; and in XL and XLT trim levels, offering more choices than ever from a Ford commercial vehicle. The high-roof Transit – with best-in-class 81.5 inches of interior height – provides enough headroom for a person 6 feet 8 inches tall to stand upright in the cargo area. In some configurations, Transit offers as much as much as 75 percent more volume than the largest E-Series, saving customers the fuel costs and time associated with having to make a second trip. 'Transit has been tested to rigorous Built Ford Tough standards, and comes equipped with great technology features like SYNC with MyFord Touch, and Lane Departure Alert System,' said Minyang Jiang, Ford brand manager for Transit, Transit Connect and E-Series. ''American Pickers' fits in with the spirit of the Transit family as vehicles people can rely on to get the job done.' The van used on 'American Pickers' will feature an available rear-view camera and reverse park aid.
