grahamgrocho Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) So I'd like to rent a Transit Connect from Chicago to Florida to pick up a motorcycle a family member is selling to me. I called a local dealership (I called many, really, but only ONE would rent to the general public) and they said they had a Transit Connect for me! Score! But... I found out they only rent the "Wagon" version with the seats in the back. Can anyone confirm if that version has the same 6 tie-down hooks/D-rings like the Transit Connect cargo van version does? Maybe I need to take out the seats? If there are not any tie-down hooks, are there any good tie-downs to utilize? I'm assuming the rear door height is the same on both versions (wagon vs. van). I asked the service dept rep at the dealership to confirm for me, but he didn't know the answer and said the rental wagon wasn't on-site at the moment so he couldn't check.

103west43rd Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 grahamgrocho, what year Transit Connect are they renting? 2010-2013 has the interior height (but maybe not the interior length), the 2014-2015 has the interior length (in the long wheel base), but may not have the interior height. We have had numerous posts from forum members transporting motorcycles in the 2010-2013 Transit Connect's, so tie downs have never been a problem.

grahamgrocho Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Even with the seats inside/wagon version? I'm not sure which year but I'll find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 My Triumph Bonneville will only fit in my 2010 TC with the rear seat removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 My 2010 has the seat (most excellent tilt up feature). Only two tie downs. I got a Ditch Witch trencher in last week with the seat up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
