Sorry if this has been answered before , But ....

What do the 260, 280, 350 etc mean on the transit mk7 ??

Someone told me wheelbase, but I have seen a 350 badge on a van the same size as mine (a 280 high roof) .


Just want to satisfy my curiosity.

i believe its something to do with the load capacity like 80/100 etc. not sure which ones whitch thou

[Luke]

yep just add a 0 for the gross weight ie. 350 = 3500kg

[AndyG]

These numbers are relating to the weight not size

So for eg;
A Transit 260 when fully loaded shouldn't weigh more than 2600kg and usually less
A Transit 330 when fully loaded shouldn't weigh more than 3300kg

Size doesn't matter

That answers that then, I had an inkling that could be the reason, but after listening to someone all knowledgeable on the subject (my younger brother ), thought I ought to ask the question and get a definitive answer.

Thanks

And on alot of (but not all) Transit MK6s you'll also have the engine output as well for eg;
90T330 = 90PS engine and 3300kg gross
Tell that to your brother
