As long as your Ford Transit has a 2 inch hitch and its hitch pin hole isn't recessed under the vehicle by more than 4-1/4 inches, the Yakima EXO Swing Base, part # Y34VR would work great on your Transit T350.

To determine how far under the vehicle the hitch pin hole is recessed, place a straight edge like a yardstick or 2x4 vertically up against the rear bumper. Measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the straight edge. If this distance is less than 4-1/4 inches, the Yakima EXO Swing Base would work great for you. I'll link to an article that shows how to take this measurement.

You'll also want to make sure that the 64 lb weight of the swing base, plus the weight of the accessories and what's carried on them doesn't exceed the tongue weight capacity of the hitch installed on your Transit T350.
