Hands down best review I've seen.

Very nice! Don't see enough drawers in back of vans, i ought to get some

Screen cuts out and no gps

Was the video taken on Nokia 3110? ))

Any change that takes the drivers eyes off of the road ahead is a FAIL, I program safety critical applications for a living and the new setup for the buttonless dash wouldn't have left my desk. I drive a 22 Trans Custom and I can close my eyes and know where every switch or dial is located.

You wait until you get locked out with the key not working oh and android auto maps do not work

Yeah, copying everyone else too. You got Great content, Great presentation, Great camera and editing. Music too loud.

Ford charging merc prices for cheap rubbish..

Look nice. Shame it comes with the same wet belt and fuel pump issues To be seen on the back of a recovery truck near you

Turn down the background music, way too loud. I like your reviews though

Also positioned to avoid sucking exhaust gases onto your van

I work at a Toyota dealer, dont buy a Proace, period 😂

Nice man. Good use of space

That back ground music is rather annoying take it off.

He cant even get the touch screen to work when its still and he can play around with it Imagine trying to ajust everything while driving lol Just put buttons and knobs for the fans and aircon for goodness sake

No they are not worth it ,the automatic asking to place into park when pulling up at lights Every button switch placed on the infotainment screen what happen when screen doesn’t boot or crashes ? Knees hitting door handle really irritating on long drive ,electronic handbrake sticking and really irritating the warnings bongs and whistles turn them off and they auto come on when engine restarts No autogearbox selector,now fitted on a indicator stalk Nowhere to put your sunglasses Basically it’s no upgrade it’s backward and it ain’t cheap ! Is that enough to be getting in with

For info, I have a leased 2021 L1H1 Auto. Custom. Lease term runs to end of year and I want another custom. Or rather I did. Your video and comments certainly highlights all the negatives I have read elsewhere. The new custom is also lower, and the new step looks a pain, as to be honest the old flat floor provided a nice small working and sorting space. As someone else said, may be ok for very short delivery drivers but fail to see the need. So anyone reading this it is a bit of a dissapointment. And at a rough price of £460 for 48 months and 12 months down I am now not so sure. I may keep my current one as at 40k miles seems an option. Any owner comments on the Renault Traffic out there please ?

English version? How much? Free transportation?

Question to the reviewer and anyone who owns and use this latest Transit Custom. Has anyone had issue in using Waze or Google maps via Android auto wireless? It seems to all over the place on map and can't get a stable position on my Custom. As for the touchscreen yes it will be infuriating on first use and over the top for a van, but with some patience, you get use to it. Only just.. Definitely agree on the rear door with no mechanical lock to hold the door if a crosswind hits it. A real concern.

How much is something like this?

Im surprised you’re not impressed with it. Similar ages customs are already rusting and having engine failure. With this Proace the 2.0 is a normal belt and not a spot of rust

No latches are a deal breaker. If a door blows open onto a main road its game over

Drove one for the first time today as they're newly added to the company fleet. Very unimpressed. I thought Mercs were bad after driving them for 15 years, but the Transit is a massive downgrade in almost all areas. Really uncomfortable as a tall guy too. Feels like the seat doesn't slide back anywhere near enough. The power steering feels ancient and I noticed the brake pedal sits higher than the accelerator which took ages to get used to.

The background music made this video unwatchable

Where to get it?

That dash with lack of proper buttons would drive me mad. Trying to adjust while on the move will be a nightmare. I will stick with my previous model. Looks nice fhough from the outside, thats it.

Still no upgraded locks or security!

NO

🤘😎🤘

Hii like to work with you I'm working on the same field from 15 years

It's just been released in Australia the problem with it though it requires ad-blue which is $2/litre and is a 20-litre tank with 70 litres of diesel. And why would you want a manual car for? if you're in it 10-12 hours a day and in traffic you don't want to be on and off the clutch all the time. People will buy this as a courier van not just tradesman.

I've just had a 1 hour test driver of the 'NEW' Transit custom, Australian customer. Overall? I am disappointed. I praised the last model, and hoped this one would solve the few issues. For Euro readers, we only get basically 2 trim levels, the 'Van' and the Sport. Both are high specced compared to what you would get in Europe. This is to minimise the stock that needs to be catered for in a relatively small market. Some of my notes may only be relevant to the local market. The Good: - Drivers seat is much improved, the old one was garbage, the new one just feels supportive. It is also lower to the floor. and feels more car rather than van like. - Barn doors now do not have protruding. - The stupid half glass side windows have been replaced with a full window. - Roof height lowered to help fit into low car parks, this is great, but obviously the internal height has also reduced. I suspect this is also because of the AWD option available in Europe. - Column mounted auto selector save space. - LED headlights standard (new) - Keyless Start Standard (new) - Automatic climate control standard (new) The Bad:, the list is long. - The instrument cluster is complicated looking and hard to read, its angle isn't towards the driver, its pointed down in comparison to your eyes. - Square steering wheel, like all square steering wheels is shit. - Brake pedal way so spongee and soft, I guess that could have been this particular vehicle. - Van has keyless push button start but NO buttons on any of the external door handles. You have to pull out the fob to lock and unlock. Absolute insanity. That was one feature I was looking forward to. Having you hands full of crap and needing to dig into a pocket isn't good. - Flip up roof racks were standard in the Australian delivered cars all the way back to 2015, now you have to pay $2000! - I was told no rear lift gate option until the MY24 models. This has always been a popular option in Australia for trades vans, keeps the sun and rain off. whist working in the back. Out vans are always glazed in the rear too, so gives better rear viability. - Dual sliding doors is an option. Again, many other competitors don't even offer one door, another $1000 option. - Has plastic wheel caps rather than silver steel wheels. These are work vehicles. Silver steel wheels just work, they tried this before with one model year of the previous gen and soon switched back. - Driving position HAS improved from last gen, but its not SUV good like a Toyota Hi-Ace or Hyundai Staria. The steering wheel reach doesn't come close enough either. - Passenger seat still sucks. Its a van seat. Competitors have a full bucket just like the driver. Some of us actually drive long distances with a passenger. - Pressing the park button in the auto DOESN"T engage the electronic hand brake, its another button to press right in the middle of the dash! Why would you have the van in park and the park brake off? When selecting drive, it will release the park brake, but its hesitant to do so. - Just doesn't drive as nice as the previous model. The last model actually had alive steering for a commercial vehicle, this feels like a computer game. - The thing as a whole doesn't feel as solid or well made as the last one, doors feel tinny. Other notes, - No more manual option for the Australian market, and this engine just doesn't have the right feel for an auto, and we get the the 2nd most powerful engine spec. - No AWD option for Australia, sure it doesn't snow much, but driving off road for building sites and maintenance is common place. I have waited a long time for this, I am not impressed Ford.

I just made a hole in my racking for the door stays

Ford haven't developed it with VW. It is 100% designed, engineered and built by Ford with all Ford components and engines. The new VW is a rebadged transit custom

Can you tell us a estimated price on a small van ?

What, so you practically have to lay down to get to the shelving? This doesn’t seem well thought out to me. That would go better on the regular Transit or Promaster I would think. Excellent system though, very unique and laser perfect…

The new Custum looks tiny and cheap next to the old ones.

Why wouldn't you clean all the bird shit off the roof before starting. That's disgusting....

Had one on hire truly worst van I've driven, awkward driving position, no meaningful storage results in everything on seat and slides onto floor... cheap cheap cheap.. my Berlingo made by same group is a much better van

🙌

Had mine 2 days it’s now back in the ford garage under warranty and it’s been there 10 days so far with no answers as to when I’ll get it back

I see they have copied the Austin Allegro square steering wheel. I guess the designers are too young to remember how well that went down. Seems a step backward in quality with this model. They have cheaped out with no buttons for the heater controls, that would drive me mad. Also the thing about not being able to get 8x4 sheets in upright anymore, the old transits were smaller but were bigger inside.

Feels like a step backwards not being able to stand a 8x4 up in the back - I recall Ford making a big deal about that with the mk6& mk7 transit saying they listened to trades ect. another small annoying custom feature- the rear rubber door seal being on the van as appose to to being on the rear doors like on previous transits mk7 backwards - it just catches the crap and tears loading

Great review. I've currently got one of these on hire as someone decided to drive in to the back of my VW T6. But give me a transporter or older shape transit any day, Not a fan

*watches video* *hears him say it annoys him* *Puts paper on dash* IDGAF if it annoys you.

I don't really like how almost everything is controlled through the computer screen. It means that you have to stop, in order to change settings. There's something to be said for keeping a lot of things as simple physical switches or controls, especially when you're focus should be on the road.

No disrespect to Ford because in general they are a very sound and solid car maker and definitely know how to advertise. But I get that Ford are trying to make the Transit much more like the VW Transporter - this is why they have asked the German company for their input. The reason for this is the popularity of the Peugeot Expert and with that you can include a) Citroen Dispatch, b) Vauxhall Vivaro and c) the Toyota Proace. But it's very much the Peugeot that are selling more than Citroen, Vauxhall or Toyota. You see the Royal Mail, Police Scotland and many others using the Peugeot Expert these days and of course Peugeot took their lead off VW when re-styling the Expert and it would seem that they have found a winner, that's why many other Van makes have followed suit.
