Introducing the Ford Transit Custom
Renowned for being one of the best vans in its class, the Transit Custom has built its reputation on clever design and sheer dependability. The latest generation builds on the success of its predecessors by adding more technology and even higher levels of functionality.
On top of the engineering masterclass that allows you to carry more, you will be reducing your carbon footprint thanks to the latest range of advanced diesel engines. For the first time, hybrid options are available, making the Transit Custom a genuine forward-thinker.
As a result of these changes, the Backbone of Britain just got stronger. Keep on reading to discover where Transit Custom could take you.
Payload and Capacity
Ford offer the Transit Custom in two heights and two different lengths, with a variety of GVM (gross-vehicle mass) specifications available depending on what you need the van for. The short wheelbase gets you 6.0 cubic metres of load space, while the longer version gets you a substantial 6.8 cubic metres.
A clever feature is the load-through storage bay, which allows the driver to open a flip-up panel on the storage area's bulkhead. The panel opens into the passenger's extended storage compartment, meaning you have extra room to play with for longer items.
Transit Custom allows you to lock open the rear doors at 90 degrees for maximum convenience, while a tight turning circle of just 10.96 metres makes life just that little bit easier.
Technology and Safety
Unsurprisingly, the Transit Custom is loaded with innovative safety features and driver aids. Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system allows you to keep connected with your phone, music and navigation system thanks to an intuitive layout that's easy to use.
The power air-conditioning system may not be a revelation, but it has been placed within easy reach so you can make adjustments quickly and safely. You also get a heated front windscreen and rain-sensing wipers, which are a must-have during the colder months.
Safety features that helped the Transit Custom achieve a 5 star Euro NCAP rating include:
- Trailer Sway Control
- Roll Stability Control
- Pre-Collision Assist
- Traction Control System
- Electronic Stability Control
- Enhanced airbag system
Engines and Performance
Transit Custom is more efficient thanks to its latest range of advanced diesel engines, which have been engineered to comfortably meet stringent Euro 6.2 emissions standards.
There are four variants of the EcoBlue 2.0-litre engine to choose from, with the most powerful delivering 182 bhp and 298 lb/ft. A mild-hybrid system can be selected with these engines, which helps reduce emissions in the city.
On top of this, Transit Custom is available as a plug-in hybrid, which allows you to travel further for less. The award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine is supported by an electric motor and battery, which allows for up to 35 miles of travel on battery-power alone. The result is better economy and less pollution.
The MS-RT Transit Custom represents the latest addition to the line-up, with a series of desirable enhancements being made to ensure this is MS-RT's most outrageous conversion to date. A strong emphasis has been placed on combining the character of the rally course with the versatility that is expected of Transit.
Key features of the MS-RT Transit Custom include:
- Bespoke exterior body styling
- 18-inch OZ Racing alloys
- MS-RT twin sports exhaust system
- Handcrafted MS-RT Nappa leather and suede interior
- MS-RT sports steering wheel with carbon fibre inlays
- HID headlights
