Efficient Business Solutions: The 2025 Ford E-Transit
Choose Your Chassis
Whether you’re looking for a cutaway, a chassis cab, or a ready-made cargo van, Ford has an E-Transit model for you. The Cargo Van configuration offers three roof heights and two body lengths, so you can find a model that meets your company’s needs exactly. Its massive configurability is the reason the E-Transit serves the most industries of any electric van.
Ready-made configurations offer massive customizability. The available 50/50 hinged rear cargo door opens up to 253 degrees, making loading and unloading even large cargo a snap, and a low ride height reduces the vertical clearance required to load and unload, minimizing effort and maximizing team safety.

As time passes, your braking system suffers wear and tear due to the heat and pressure generated by braking. As parts wear or become damaged, the braking system will work less effectively, and this can cause an accident. As your Ford dealer, we’d like you to know a few signs you need to visit us for a brake service.
Signs You Need To Visit Your Ford Dealer for a Brake Service
Screeching Noises
Loud screeching noises from the brakes are a sign of worn brake pads. The pads fit into the calipers, which are forced against the wheel rotors when you hit the brakes. They have rough material coverings that generate friction against the smooth brake pads, and this action stops the wheels. As time passes, the material covering a pad will wear off.
A healthy pad has a 1/2″ thick material covering, which needs replacement when the material drops to 1/4″. Pad manufacturers install a metal spike inside the material as a warning that the material has worn down. The spike scratches against the rotor, producing a loud screeching noise. We can replace any worn pads in minutes, and the noise will stop.
Soft Brake Pedal
The braking system uses pressurized brake fluid to generate the hydraulic pressure that forces the calipers against the rotors. You can feel this pressure as resistance when you push down on the pedal. The resistance grows as you apply more pressure, meaning your brakes work correctly.
If you push on the brake pedal and feel little resistance, something is wrong with your brakes. The lack of resistance can be caused by an air bubble or other blockage in the brake system, or it could be due to low brake fluid. An air bubble can form over time, preventing brake fluid from moving through the system. Likewise, a lack of brake fluid prevents the brakes from engaging. Our technicians will investigate and fix the problem.
Old Brake Fluid
Brake fluid ages like all other fluids in your vehicle. Older fluid is susceptible to water absorption, and this can cause serious problems. As we’ve seen, braking generates heat. If you hit the brakes frequently over a short distance, for example, driving downhill, the fluid can overheat, and the water inside will boil.
If this happens, you’ll smell a harsh chemical stench, and brake responsiveness will drop. The fluid won’t burn, but it loses its ability to generate hydraulic pressure. Without this pressure, your brakes can fail. We’ll drain and replace the old fluid, and your brakes will work effectively again.
Braking problems will worsen if not repaired, increasing your stopping distance and decreasing braking speed. Contact our service department today at Fernelius Ford, Inc. in Cheboygan, MI.
