2017 Ford Transit-250 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Ford's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Ford tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Transit-250’s towing capacity.

  • When should I have my Transit-250's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Ford Transit-250’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Ford. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Ford Transit-250 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford Transit-250, potentially causing transmission problems.
