Long tedious ramble but it's not a 2014 model.
To my knowledge and based on the following:
Spoiler - click here to see it

- Archived Ford's ME website from 2015-2020 (some captures are broken but i did get enough info at least)
- Archived Ford's Saudi distributor website & social media pages (couldn't entirely pinpoint the dates due to bad captures but i did learn one or two things).
- Several articles from late 2017 to 2019 about Ford boasting of the Transit & it's siblings (e.g. sales figures or partnering with x company).
- Model year ranges for used examples in Saudi Arabia (2017 seemed to be the earliest).
- The rough time period when SRCA started to introduce Transits to their Ambulance fleets (examples were spotted in 2017, confirmed that it entered service at least as early as 2018).


This generation of the full-sized Transit was likely introduced in Saudi Arabia between the latter half of 2017 and late 2018 at the earliest (mind you, other ME countries might have received it earlier).

It's definitely not 2014 as Ford were still selling the E-Series in the kingdom (with said model being de-listed from the website at some-point in 2015). In fact, as late as June 2017, Transit wasn't even a thing on the Saudi section of Ford's ME.

One more thing but these also have amber headlights. Wrecked examples in Copart MEA suggests that the larger ones were US made while the Transit/Tourneo Custom are Turkish.

US-built Transit outfitted by a US ambulance builder, similar to this:

Updated, and I've given it a Made for tag, mostly to make it findable for future reference as the year and origin information are useful.
