Ford Transit Custom: Everything You Need To Know

The Ford Transit Custom is the UK’s bestselling van, and for good reason! From its powerful 2.0 litre engine to the comfortable cabin, this van is popular for a whole host of reasons. As well as being the bestselling van, it also ranks highly in the top-selling vehicles in the UK too.

So what makes the Ford Transit Custom so popular? Here’s a brief guide on everything you need to know about the vehicle.

The Exterior

This van caters to the medium-van market and is available in both panel van or double-cab-in-van.

  • Panel Van – For these vans, they are available in L1 H1, L2 H1, L1 H2, and L2 H2. These types of vans only have a single bench seat.
  • Double Cab Van – These types of vans are more limited in options, with the option of L1 H1 or L2 H1 models. These vans differ from panel vans as they have an additional row of seats.

These vans can also be characterised by their huge windscreen. Quickclear technology comes with this vehicle so if you encounter a frosty morning, the vehicle is able to quickly remove any frost on your windscreen. In addition to this, the payload capacity of these vehicles can accommodate anything up to 850kg. This makes the van especially useful for tradesmen such as carpenters and plumbers who need to carry around their bulky materials and heavy tools.

The Interior

Perhaps one of the main reasons that the Ford Transit Custom is so popular is because of its interior, which can best be described as comfortable and practical. The double passenger seats allow for lots of legroom and the new Ford Transit Customs have heated seats which are perfect for a cold day. As well as this, there is a touchscreen navigation system and a built-in voice control system, so it’s safe to say that the van doesn’t hold back on technology!

Packs A Punch

These Ford Transit Custom vans certainly have a lot of power with their Euro 6 2.0-litre EcoBlue engine that makes driving up steep hills seem almost effortless. To add to this, its six-speed gearbox means that getting into a higher gear is no problem at all.

Who Is This Van Suitable For?

Typically, it could be said that the Ford Transit Custom can suit a whole range of different professions. Here are just a few:

  • Carpenter
  • Plumber
  • Delivery Driver
  • Builder
  • Window Cleaner

In view of the fact that the vehicle is available in a multitude of different options, has an excellent interior, and is powerful on the roads – it is clear to see why the Ford Transit Custom is one of the most popular vehicles on the market.

"First class service, I must mention Adrian & Ash on an excellent deal & swift turn around under the short notice I had to buying a new van. Slight delay in the delivery of the van from manufacturers end but Adrian agreed to cover the cost of a hire van until my new van was delivered which allowed me to continue working. its the first time i've purchased a van without physically entering a dealership and i wouldn't hesitate to do it again."
