Ford V platform

The Ford V platform is an automobile platform produced by Ford Motor Company for minivans designed in North America. Introduced for the 1999 model year, it replaced minivans designed on the WIN88 platform (related to mid-size DN5 Ford Taurus). After 2007, the V platform was discontinued in favor of large CUVs based on the Ford D3 and D4 platforms.
As of the 2017 model year, the only seven-seat Ford minivan sold in North America is the long-wheelbase Ford Transit Connect wagon, which does not have a direct predecessor (although nearly matching the Freestar in wheelbase, its height, width, and length are closer to the extended-length Ford Aerostar, discontinued in 1997).
The first front-wheel drive platform designed for minivan use by Ford, the V platform includes the following vehicles:
* 1999-2003 Ford Windstar
* 2004-2007 Ford Freestar
* 2004-2007 Mercury Monterey
