Not directly related to electric Transit, but the regular Transit was upgraded to 11,000-pound GVWR, which matches previous Sprinter, and also higher GCWR now that EcoBoost engine is an option. We should start seeing some larger and or heavier Transit-based Class C motorhomes in near future in same size range as Sprinters. Or maybe same size as previous Transit motorhomes with greater cargo carrying capacity.
For what it’s worth, Sprinters are now even higher by about 500 kg GVWR.
Anyway, higher Transit GVWR gives it a bit more capacity for heavy batteries.
