It’s no secret that the classic American van is on its way out. Since the late 1960s, most full-size van models have been trucklike vehicles with stubby noses, long bodies and relatively low-profile front windshields. The General Motors G-Series and Dodge Ram vans are already gone.

The Ford E-Series has been America’s top-selling van since the early ‘80s, but it’s also about to virtually disappear, replaced with something new for the United States, but not for Europe: the Ford Transit.

So why would Ford change a good thing? According to a presentation about the van that the automaker made in New Jersey last week, Ford is swapping a good thing for something much better.
