Right here’s a snap video teaser from Ford for the Halloween in all of us: an 18-second transient on the upcoming U.S.-bound Transit Path Van, full with a spooky musical soundtrack and displaying off a shadowy form — sure, it’s definitely a van — with hints of orange, crimson and yellow lights, however not a lot else to go on.
The digital camera captures a vaguely trapezoidal grille with a Blue Oval emblem; what seem like silver alloy wheels, black door handles on a white physique, and a trio of amber marker lights above the black grille. The background is all tall timber and a dawn-or-dusk-lit sky. There’s additionally a little bit of smoke, and a few heavy respiratory on the soundtrack, and at one level the driving force’s entrance door opens and a light-weight goes on within the cockpit.
Ooh, spooky.

Textual content overlaid on the video reads, “On the highway of van life, a number of easy classes can result in many massive adventures.” OK. After which: “Prepare for the brand new 2023 Ford Transit Path. Coming quickly.” With particulars to come back subsequent month about its launch.
Earlier spy pictures of the U.S.-bound Transit Path recommend some variations with the prevailing Raptor-inspired European mannequin, resembling black cladding across the flanks and fenders of the van and 245/75 R16 Goodyear Wrangler rubber. Fittings for all-wheel drive are additionally within the bundle. We have beforehand reported that U.S. patrons ought to anticipate a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 making 310 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque.
So no electrical automobile right here, though Ford has one within the 2023 E-Transit. It seems to be like the brand new Transit Path borrows its kind liberally from the low-roof model of the electrical. However the video may very well be misleading on that.
