I like the innovation that they have introduced. Simple things like being able to make the steering wheel a laptop desk and a table for eating. Simple, but makes life so much easier for a driver out on the road all day.

[@bp19870]

That will be part of an optional pack that most businesses won’t bother paying for for their fleet. If it was standard, then it would be great.

[@zoltrix7779]

Yet the wheel is square which should make running the wheel through your hands a task

[@rp007k9]

Looks impressive. I hope you've spent alot of time improving the security. As the last models was an almost giveaway item.

Interesting to note that nothing was mentioned about improved security as this van doesn't have a good reputation in this respect. Nothing slows your work flow more than stolen tools.

That's a shame. The last Custom was the best looking van on the market. I suppose this has to be bland as VW are using the same base vehicle.

[@GregsMowing]

agree, the back of this new ones looks like a Citroen dispatch, The cab makes up for the questionable new looks though

[@williamhall8460]

Nice van. I’ve had 4 from new in the last 10 years. It’s a shame the lease costs have tripled on this van from what I’m paying currently.

[@tahirhussain9907]

Best van for drivers, the most comfy and capable vehicles for work. Miles ahead of every other motor company when it comes to work vehicles. Ford has to be commended for its ability to understand the demands of the workers that use it's vehicles. The cup and bottle holders are absolute Godsends, along with the arm rests for driver's seat very comfy. Even the slippery surface on the floor of the load area made life easier. Have to try out these new models one day.

Just placed the order for this, cant get it until September at least but will be worth the wait. I'm going with all wheel drive option as I have this on my custom limited now and traction is awesome. Not sure about paying for the office steering wheel, I will have to think about that, cant remember ever needing one as I use the drop down from the centre seat for my laptop.

[@Kevina20]

I know a guy who has an electric transit with DPD and the max range is 120 miles with the radio and air con disengaged

[@katelights]

his experience with a totally different vehicle in a totally different size class is totally irrelevant.

[@pauldavies7251]

​@@katelightscan't you read?? Or are you plain stupid!! He drives an ev transit van which only does 120miles how is that a different van or circumstances??

[@SpellItRight]

Try sorting out the security flaws within the van. You are aware of the vulnerabilities, sort them out. So many people have lost tools and equipment because the van is easily broken into. Fit secondary locks as standard.

[@dguy-xk4fc]

A great looking van. Might be the best van in its class. Too bad here in the government in the Netherlands is a little too greedy on the tax when you buy it. Base price is 31k but government slaps almost 20k on top of it making it 50k. For the base model. Nothing Ford can do about this. Very interested in seeing the all electric price which is not known at this point. That one will be taxed a lot less but will be more pricey because batteries are costly.

[@zapbrannigan9770]

You know what you missed yet again that most if not all builders will spend a couple of grand after market on if they are brave enough to buy this van? The locks. Your last generation could be defeated with either pipe pliers for the driver door or a drill for the sliding door. Ok this isn’t just a Ford problem but Ford are easy to defeat. but if you have improved it we want to know. Dead bolts high up on the rear and slide doors would be nice to so we don’t see them bent in half with the contents gone in the morning. Trust me on this this is a massive issue in the U.K. at least.

[@bikeme218]

why isn't this available in the states? including the diesel's just doesn't make sense

[@RSTBKT]

I think Ford is doing what VW is doing with like the Golf. Technically Ford unveiled the Ranger to the World first and will do what it needs to do for US regulations before giving it to us. I can only assume the same for the Transit since the USA and the World gets the same Transit body.

[@ASteele8450]

The US had the Econoline/E-Series van whilst UK and Europe didn’t, when Transit went to the States it was a better upgrade than the E-Series. The only thing with the larger Transit we have is that it is only available as a high roof van whilst the Transit Custom was originally low roof now with a high roof design, the Transit in the States has a low roof option as we don’t. To be honest I don’t see why this new model Transit Custom isn’t in the States it was road tested a couple of times over there but I guess it won’t be going there any time soon.

[@paddymuppy]

Transit is a European vehicle of decades. Always was.

[@spilleradam]

Theirs a lot more choices of work vehicles in America, especially trucks.

[@spilleradam]

@@ASteele8450 I lived in America I actually prefer the Econoline E series to the Tranit, I don’t like the transit one bit.

[@daves4026]

L shaped load seems to mean that Once again missing loading 8by4 on edge ! When your carrying tools the bed is used unless we build an off stand . When will this be resolved. Will wait for the new hiace ev which hopefully will continue the old hiaces ability to carry 8 by 4 sheets on edge

[@Dave_Br]

I like the flat floor without any gear stick console getting in the way of getting out on the passenger side. I hate having to get out in traffic. I just hope there is an option without that bulkhead.

[@basedbob277]

I’d like to see this in USA as a replacement for the current transit connect. It looks larger, then the current but smaller then the full size E transit.

[@ravermouse]

Ummm, please tell me these are coming into the US market. I would love to purchase one of these as apposed to the current US variants.

[@mazdaman1286]

As a mechanic I hope you have replaced the wet belt with a chain...I guess not. in which case short engines should be drastically reduced in price and the vacuum pump for the brake servo should be a giveaway item. I hope the wiring loom issues of the previous model have been fixed water ingress caused so many problems and cost a fortune to fix. Ad blu..Has the fifth injector and glow plug been moved to a more accessible position for easy and frequent replacement , two hours to try and remove a seized and inaccessible one is soul destroying. Finally Electric Parking Brakes..when the whirring stops or won't please make them cheap to buy , judging how they seize and rust up they are cheap anyway. Old fashioned cables worked just fine and at a tenner a side if needed... I have just been reminded about the LED headlights. We have just had a written off car, 6 years old low mileage light front end, no airbag deployment. front bumper cracked inter cooler, radiator and. two broken LED head lights.. how can two headlights come to more than £1400 ??? ballasts ? 7 inch round things used to cast a tenner ...fitted.
