[@norafinley5216]

I like toyota hiace the most. But not tall enough. Is the engine for ford transit very reliable? Someone told me, it's a terrible. Could you please give advise. Thank you

[@Kordozer]

2024 update please

[@stevorider6753]

I bought the 2019 transit 340l and now done 16000km. Absolutely love it. As a carpenter it does everything I need it to do and is a pleasure to drive. Will do my own owner video soon.

[@RTK171]

I just bought the 340 s but have to wait 2 months as its a special order. Its my 3rd one love them best van ever

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

Lets be real here. did you expect to buy a new car and NOT love it? There was never going to be a scenario where you picked the car you hated the most. and in terms of reliability, 16000 km is the same as never having been driven. You and I should resume this discussion about how you "love" your transit when it hits 400 000 km.

[@waynepavy888]

How did you get a resale value from two new models, HiAce and the Peugeot? How did you compare performance without mentioning different powertrain options in the HiAce and the VW? Why did you not mention cargo space at all in the HiAce? This was not a review, it was a Ford advertisement.

[@worldsnomad]

Exactly what I thought , and don't understand me wrong .. I drive ford myself and it's very good van but only because vw it's little out of my budget . ...Atleast Ford's marketing it's working better than competition 😂

[@kaidensummerell7657]

Na, The Toyota and VW both look disgusting both inside and out. The Ford is a much better performance van and it looks much better inside and in the back. You just don’t like Ford! GO FORD!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mitchgroff263]

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

[@elianasmith6330]

It is a great video thanks for the great information and well delivered. This is exactly what I was looking for.

[@recepkozcubey4160]

1- How comfortable to sit on each sest for long rides? 2- How is the viewing angles, rear view and mirror views? 3- How high is the highest seating position in all of them? Before you choose the top winner , you must show all of them to us in each individual category and rank all of them. And at the latest you must show the general winner and rank the others too! About 10 people, office, technology, brand name.. And you have produced only 9 minutes video for such a large topic! Less than 2 minutes of commentary on each car! Just not enogh! DISLIKED.

[@coffsharbourlawnmowing]

they should ask a mechanic which one to choose

[@bobmarli6095]

They would all say a hiace

[@Elwooddudes]

Thanks for the great review from the UK. Keep changing my mind on which van to buy in a year or two…. My current 2009 expert has been extremely reliable… just want something which is a bit more comfortable on longer journeys next and has more refinement in the cabin!

[@bobmarshall3700]

How can any of these be worth $40k+? Just a steel box on wheels with a lot of the development costs having been done years ago, also many of the components being used across each manufacturer's range. Realistically, they should be about $25K if even that .

[@samuellamont3971]

Bob Marshall too many hands in the pie , we not in Asia

[@motosnape]

Bob Marshall. I suspect you’re not in Australia, a country where a top spec BMW 7 series costs 400,000$ vs the typical £150,000 or 180,000$ in the UK or the US.

[@jay-uo2bi]

@@motosnape I think he's right though. If a Sport Automatic with Safety Pack can be $25k DRIVEAWAY. Then surely these relatively basic vans can 30K and under.

[@Munstallstodes]

Because these are marketed as commercial vehicles. People don't want vans, they need them. Plus anything business related gets charged more, including utilities. Not easy starting out as a small business owner.

[@Passionfruityoghurt]

@V M can't blame the criminal underworld for this one mate

[@ghunt9146]

What no one mentions is that here in the UK Ford's are easy to steal / break into, & so insurance costs are higher than the other models.

Didn't mention the biggest ommission in the new hiace no bench seat.

[@snakecold6755]

SHUT UP

[@terrificspokesman7416]

I see barely any SAIC vans in the UK

[@MrBossie75]

Don't know about Australia, but in europe the transit custom with automatic gearbox has a ridiculous low towing capacity. Where other vans are allowed to tow 2000 or 2500kg the Ford's max is +-1200kg (2600pounds)

[@petrturcovsky7035]

Good test, thank you. Will you do the same test this year including Benz Vito top model 119 please :). Thanks

[@yevgeniyshawyer2767]

The biggest van is a traffic. You can put palette of plasterboard in there. The space in the van and what you can carry is a number one question for traders like me. Kitchen and bathroom fitter

[@Mrianmarshall]

A pillar grab handles are great for smashing your head against in the event of an accident.

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

if your head reaches all the way to the handle even thought you are wearing a seatbelt, then you were not going to survive regardless if the handle exists or not. So might as well have the handle.

[@nzwotb2525]

They should all be tested buy the people that actually use them like tradies etc it would be a much more true result

[@5thgear353]

Transit is the best from trades men point of view

[@bobmarli6095]

The transits are absolute shite. Majority of tradies, couriers, and delivery drivers pick the hiace it’s been the best selling van for over 20 years for a reason.

[@bigchief2331]

The Peugeot is the best by a fair margin. Drives like a car, and lots of comfort and practicality in the cabin. Trafic is great too but just too unsafe. Like the Ford, but build quality not as good as the Peugeot.

[@whynot0969]

Where the Mercedes?

[@emac8381]

[@terrificspokesman7416]

Love the Hiace hope they sell it in the UK. Rather have the Hiace than the Proace which is a rebadged Peugeot Expert. If they don't import it than i think you have to import it yourself

I is think you’ll find the hilux/hiace are most durable. Not the tricked up ones the simple ones. The ‘workmate’ is by far the most reliable car I have ever driven. And I know van guys who say the same thing about the Hiace.

[@davidbernard7256]

funny how vans in general are a lot more smaller than 10 years ago!

[@richardzedman1160]

because of safety and crash tests the cabin area and front have taken more space from the rear load area

[@alisterluckin352]

Why didn’t you test the Vito?

[@carlferrer82]

Hi Sir. How's the front suspension of the Hiace Sir? Is it still heavy duty? As it is now a mcpherson strut unlike before it was a double wishbone. I'm thinking of buying this or the older version.

I've tested all of them and no the Ford Transit is just terrible. The Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 is by far the best van out there.

Every single van here is a Winner. Ford have done slightly more homework Ergonomically.

[@analourdesaraujoclementino9791]

Show. Ótima apresentação.

[@sidheshpatil7120]

Ford certainly displayed clever thinking with side mounted tie points offering a flat floor surface for stability. Having load/boxes sitting at an angle with D-hooks piercing through the packaging isn't the best way to transport goods. That might even damage any blown up camping mattress laid down on the floor.

[@gregherman3816]

I drove vans all my life and trust me when I tell you than when it comes to vans there are only a couple of things that matter , firstly you don`t want a front wheel drive ( they suck ) and the second thing if you can is to try to avoid automatics ( they also suck ) also consider a DIESEL perhaps

[@TheJoel714]

According to your experience, which one would be the best? I like vw and expert for their performance, almost 15 km per liter of diesel in Mexico. Regards

[@ian9toes]

Front wheel drive has better traction than in unladen rear wheel drive. What’s wrong with front wheel drive

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

@@ian9toes More fragile. Rear wheel drive vehicles in general have a more robust suspension setup, and is also less wear on the tyres. However in my experience, rwd vans get stuck much easier in muddy terrains vs fwd.

[@mahmoudgrant779]

Rear wheel drive won't be your best friend in winter in cold climates, FWD or AWD would be safer.

Mate you forgot to mention about the Ford Vans about their seats, for me it’s crap, as we cannot “lean back the car seats”....because isn’t enough space between the seats 💺 and the cargo barrier, it’s has no space, to do so!?? The cargo wall it’s glued with the seats 💺, looks like! It’s a huge problem for those w is going to be on the roads all day, seating in 90 Degrees(L) throughout the bloody days!

iload old engine tech commonrail. In my country its name hyundai h1 with 1500ppm sulphur contain (low grade diesel 0.38$/L). Still going over 500.000km just give pre fuel filter. Change oil and fuel filter every 5000km and still strong sometimes driver mix full tank lowgrade diesel with 2ltr gasoline+150ml 2cycl oil. its feel 15-20% power increase at low rpm. And sparepart are cheap. Just salesmarketing "T" poisioning every people in my country they told if iload/other brand spare part cost 3-5time more expensive. And just "T" brand have super realibility. Info hiace 2.5(2kd-ftv 101ps 0-100 arround 18-20second) more super slower than h1(d4cb 170ps 11-12second).

You can break into this generation of ford transit with a set of pipe pliers in 20 seconds flat. In the U.K. if your a trades man you can expect you van to be attacked. My old Mercedes Vito had the side door bent in half. If you own a transit in the U.K. you will have to get after market locks fitted. Any way I just got a new transporter on lease and am very happy with it. Had the option for the ford but the security is dog shit!
