Is The Ford Transit A Good Van?

The work van market can seem quite oversaturated at times, with hundreds of different makes and models to choose from, each boasting its own unique features. It can be hard to cut through the noise and actually find a good van you can rely on. The team at Van Sales UK has hundreds of vans available to buy and lease, including the Ford Transit.

But why do we recommend the Ford Transit and is it a good enough van for you to buy or rent? Read on to find out.

The Ford Transit

The Ford Transit is a leading model of work van, built for the toughest jobs around and smarter than your usual van. It’s a reliable ride that uses its powerful engines and versatile performance to adapt to whatever task you need it for. The interior is fresh and modern, putting driver comfort and practicality at the forefront.

It has an impressive payload, with 15.1 cubic metres of load space, allowing you to fit cargo in it that is over 3 metres long through the wide-opening sliding side load door, full-height rear doors, and a built-in rear bumper step. With sidewall tie-downs as standard, any cargo will be safe and secured during transport with a variety of features for adaptable load carrying.

The new 5-tonne Transit Van has the best-ever payload capacity, with a 5,000 kg GVM and up to 2,383 kg net payload, powered by a Heavy Duty Truck Ford EcoBlue diesel engine to maintain the smooth performance.

Leader

"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."
