Another great video, love the down to earth reviews etc.....it’s what we all want to watch! I’ve been looking at replacing my 12 plate transit with me of these (identical colour/model ideally). Popped into my local ford dealer today and was quoted over 23k with a towbar! He told me Ford make everyone charge the same 😂 Was yours a special deal?!

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Lol he’s lying. Watch this video. It might help kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYO0amqkgNqfras thanks for the support and kind words 🙏

[@maxwellonyx9636]

dunno if anyone cares but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the new movies on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last months =)

[@boemanuel1273]

@Maxwell Onyx Yea, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)

[@darylw-m9549]

Thanks for the video. I've watched lots of the clinical reviews of the Transit Custom but the honest opinion of someone who has bought one is much appreciated.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

You’re welcome mate and that’s for taking the time to comment. That’s what my channel is about. No BS. Appreciate it 🙏

[@stevenbias1149]

Great looking van inside as well nowadays. Thanks for this. Been waiting for it.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Thanks buddy 🙏

[@dancarely9615]

Seriously considering swapping my A4 for one of these as suites my needs that much better, your channel/videos have being so hopeful and honest compared to the paid/commercialised videos out there so thank you 👍

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Thanks mate. Really appreciate that 🥰

[@MrTyger11]

Love your honest opinion. I've just ordered the same van in orange, not due till July 2022 due it being semi converted for a camper.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Thanks mate. Appreciate the comment and congratulations, great van.

[@Xorbit17]

TC off is useful for the rare cases where you actually want the wheels to spin. Typically in snow or mud.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Let me know what you think about the video?

[@kalheer]

I got the Tourneo.. best of both worlds 👍🏻

[@mostlymotorbikes]

That the one with seats?

[@kalheer]

@@mostlymotorbikes Yeah.. 6 in the back.. all individual and flexible to remove and can face each other.. easily load up 2 superbikes too 👍🏻

[@mostlymotorbikes]

@@kalheer yeah it’s a good shout mate. I’ve got three kids so would have been decent. I just need it to be as small as poss so I can get it in multi story train station car parks for work. Might make the wife swap her disco for one haha

[@Pwr2ThePeople]

Thanks for this nice honest review the so called experts get a bit annoying...🤣I'm between the t6.1 and this but think I'm going for the transit seem to get a bit more for your money..thanks again pal

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Welcome. Appreciate the comment.

[@sylviapetkov5350]

Best van on the road. End of story.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Agree mate. Thanks 🙏

[@garyoneill8868]

Great video mate; nothing boring about it at all. I'm toying with the idea of getting one and this was helpful. Probably the dual cab for me; Sport version for the power. You need it in Australia if you travel anywhere.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Thank you mate. Appreciate it 🙏

Thank you 🙏

[@keithhoggett7230]

Really enjoying your videos, would love to see your bike camera set ups, maybe a vid talking through your experience with the various mounts you think work best.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Good shout mate. I’m planning on a video like that for my end of year review series. I’ll get on it. Thanks 🙏

[@matthewrobinson2001]

Thanks for sharing the video, just great to watch an honest review from someone who has similar reasons for buying one. I just wondered where you bought your van from as I live in Sheffield and you’ve picked it up for a real bargain price. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks Matt

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Thanks mate I got it from Hull Ford

[@matthewrobinson2001]

@@mostlymotorbikes Thanks for the message mate, really appreciate your help!

[@DaveBibbs]

Love a good van mate. Don’t know why people buy cars tbh lol

[@mostlymotorbikes]

lol thanks buddy 🙏

[@cromium1718]

You could have a small electric winch fitted at the bulkhead to pull the RSV4 up the ramp. Wrap a sling round the forks above the mud guard and attach to the winch. That would be less risky than starting the bike and clutching/walking it up the ramp. - just in case you slip and drop the bike etc. I assume that's how you do it at the moment.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Good idea mate. I don’t use the engine I just get a small run up and push it up manually. Worried about slipping on the clutch. Not easy though.

[@jacobbrown2476]

I think these are better value pound for pound than the transporters.

[@03mdhillug]

true, but the transit will be almost worthless. Transporters for whatever reason keep much more value. But I do like the custom front end

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Transits are fetching good money atm mate. That being said I’ll be keeping this years so I’m not fussed.

[@onenightinmay05]

Great video... was thinking of one of these or a vivaro for my e- mountain bikes... defo gonna go for ford now me thinks .

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Thanks mate. Yeah it’s a great van. Lovely to drive.

[@paulmurray2147]

I had a 2016 transit 2.2 custom bought from new but decided to upgrade to the new 2021 custom, personally I feel the new vehicles drive is not as good as the old 2.2 model. One issue is the gear ratio has changed so your always changing gears more often, power through the gears from 0 to 50 is improved but on the motorway at 60 to 80 the engine seems to be working much harder with less grunt the the old model. The absolute worst feature is the new headlights they are absolutely dreadful when you consider the vehicle was nearly £35k, seriously I’ve never driven a vehicle with such poor headlights at night. Please Ford get the small things right safely at night is a must, I’m considering having extra spot lights fitted. Overall great vehicle but disappointing lights, rattles, and pulling power of the 2.0 engine.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

I can’t say I’ve noticed that but to be fair I’ve nothing to compare against like you. My only really gripe is fuel economy isnt as good as I thought it would be.

[@paulmurray2147]

I decided to invest in better headlamp bulbs for my 2021 Transit Custom as the standard bulbs are absolutely useless. I’ve replaced all four standard ones for new LED bulbs & the result is amazing, a little expensive at £150 but definitely worth it.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

@@paulmurray2147 nice shout pal. I’ll look into it.

[@tommysbk2919]

Definitely get a faraday pouch for they keys mate! Stop thieves hacking into the signal of your van and just driving away in minutes

Good shout mate. I’ll look into it.

Not keyless mate so faraday pouch wont have any effect. It has a physical key blade.

[@robtno1]

Only problem with em is the exhaust filter clogs up on short runs, if not cleared it will go into limp mode.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

I’ll look out for that mate. Thanks.

Just watched your clip great review,loved it m8 just wondered what u plan to do in 8 years when we have to go electric?Want to buy the exact same van but this nonsense with co2 is stopping me buying new right now.

[@bikahjoeUK]

Great video, mate - really useful. I've watched all your Transit ones now (I think) and noticed a brief clip in this one of you loading a bike. Have you done a video just about your bike loading and securing method? I'm considering getting a van to replace my daily drive and was wondering if you had any issues with the low roof height while wheeling a bike up the ramp (I'm 6'2). Cheers.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

I did have to bend down slightly. Not too annoying though and the trade off of it fitting in car parks was worth it.

[@stevend9960]

I’ve always owned and driven vans. Your review was very good especially the facts about the deal you got. Very helpful. What dealer did you buy from? Will they do another deal like that for me do you think?

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Was hull Ford mate. Can’t see why not. Just play one dealer off against another.

[@terrificspokesman7416]

For me I would have the Transit Sport 6 seater version but we all have different needs

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Yeah I’ve already got a 7 seater Discovery so didn’t need that.

[@terrificspokesman7416]

@@mostlymotorbikes okay

[@mikeharrison72]

I’ve been look at the Transit Custom or the iLoad but I think the Ford is the better vehicle to be honest.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

It’s like a nice car to drive and inside. I love it.

[@terrificspokesman7416]

The Hyundai iLoad is quite dated and a bit dull to drive. The Transit is quite sporty to drive for a van but the iLoad feels like just a regular van

All the engines through the range are the same. The only difference is the tune. Go get it remapped. Not just for the extra power but makes it so much better to drive.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Doesn’t it invalidate the warranty though?

Great van - what about insurance on a van? How’s it compare to a car?

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Seems cheaper mate. I’ve insured this for business, not just SD&P and was a good couple hundred quid cheaper than the 5 series I had

[@vladimirborovsky2924]

Hi. You mentioned that we could watch How to get good deal in one of your videos. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find it. Please could you point it out where could I see it? Thank you for your great reviews.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Glad it was helpful mate

[@BluesyBor]

One real question about this van I have is this - why there's no automatic a/c available? Every other medium van has it, big Transit and small Connect have it, only the Custom was left with a manual a/c, why?

[@mostlymotorbikes]

God knows to be fair though it’s a good price point so I can live with it

[@BluesyBor]

@@mostlymotorbikes most likely gonna buy it as well, because beside this thing it's pretty much perfectly balanced between price and features.

@@BluesyBor agree matey 🙏

[@jameslee1980]

Is the manual gear box any good or would you prefer an auto?

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Gearbox is brilliant. As good as any car manual to be fair. Maybe on long journey it would be handy to have auto but I don’t really miss it and it’s less to go wrong.

[@bathams]

Rust issues? Security issues? Have they been addressed?

[@mostlymotorbikes]

It’s brand new so hopefully won’t rust for a few years. I hear good things about the new Fords so fingers crossed. And it’s not been stolen yet so I guess.... in all seriousness though they are alarmed, deadlocked etc. Thing the reason people think they get stolen more is they sell more so it’s more visible.

[@bathams]

@@mostlymotorbikes that’s good to hear, they are great vans... unsure what year is best with these ? 2017 onwards? I do like the Transporters but the price of them is well .... ridiculous compared. I will be using it for work purposes so my thoughts are the Ford custom would be better suited?

[@mostlymotorbikes]

@@bathams for the money the custom is excellent. These new ones are as nice as cars inside. I’ve heated seats, cruise, climate Apple car play the works.
