The Ford Transit Custom, a mid-size versatile van which has been hugely popular across Europe thanks to its capabilities, price, driving dynamics and design.
A diesel van is never going to be the most elegant or exciting vehicle, but I was interested to review it as the previous generation was up there with the like of the Volkswagen Transporter and arguably better than the Mercedes Vito van! Ultimately, commercial vehicles can be a majorly overlooked sector, and I think Ford have realised this, now offering more technology, safety, style comfort across their PRO range.
The all-new generation will be the first to be offered as a full EV, with plug in hybrid variants available, improving on the previous PHEV. Being lower and lighter, the new model is more fuel efficient and stylish.
Thank you to Pye motors , Dan Park the Sales Manger and the Sales Team for supporting my channel and making this review possible! I really enjoyed my time this weekend with the new Custom, if you would like to know more about this van get in contact with Pye Motors here ⬇️

[@jancsikus]

You are pretty good at what you are doing, and so good to see your enthusiasm! Keep it up!

[@Carcode]

Thank you! I’m glad my enthusiasm comes across, many more videos on the way 😁

[@SurlySteve1]

Great informative presentation. Very well delivered. You did a great job. Easy to listen to and no messing about. Much better than people older than yourself. 🤘

[@Carcode]

That’s a lovely comment, thanks Steve!

[@SurlySteve1]

@@Carcode no worries. It’s earned. You did a great job so it’s justified. 🤘👍

[@RangeRoverUpgrades]

Very good review, straight to the point and great editing

[@Carcode]

Thank you! More on the way 😊

[@oliverstemp9132]

Looking forward to seeing the VW version. Really nice video Sam.

[@Carcode]

Thank you Oliver! Yes it will be interesting to see what VW do with it.

[@superyachtchef]

🌟 So, are the kids allowed to drive vans now?

[@johnmurphy9601]

Well done....very good review

[@Carcode]

Thank you John 😊

[@baltvdb]

Wish they'd done an automatic when I drove Transits.

[@williamlumb1710]

I drove the first automatic in the Mk 1, so I think it’s always been available. That of course was a V4, the larger version was a V6.

[@GARRYEASTON]

Does it come with a hole in the side door or rear doors! Ford usually help the thieves more than the owners

[@stevehughes7224]

The wet belt 😢 have ford not learnt

[@DesiprideRecords]

only the thing is putting me off them and no one knows what millage they should be changed on Ford says 150k but they are going on 80k 90k 100k I don't understand why

[@richardfoster2021]

Like the video,, Like to see your review on the EV vehicle when Ford put it out

[@Carcode]

Thanks Richard, it’s on my list to review, I’m looking forwards to it!

Truely awful. Ours has just been delivered to replace our 2021 Transits and what have Ford done. Removed all the useful stuff and given you a great big screen to distract you whilst driving. One two USB ports, down low below the gear shift, so you have cables trailing everywhere if you want a dash cam, removed the useful storage holders, sunglass holders, taken the door restraints off the rear doors so they can blow open and rip themselves off. No hooks to hang your jacket, really small cup holders. Smaller mirrors, and the rear compartment has all the electrical cables exposed so you can catch them on any large items you load and rip them out or just cause a short....fantastic. They must have listened to all their previous customs and taken away everthing that was any good.

[@marinolepre5271]

I am waiting for the delivery of my new Trail model. I agree with you. A big distracting screen and no buttons or manual knobs. I will try it for a few months and if I am not satisfied I will sell it for something better.

[@JM-xm6hd]

It’s just taken me 10 minutes to find the cigarette lighter for my dash cam. It’s under the gear box. Now I have a wire draping down including on the new touch screen. What have they done with the USB as well. I’d expect that issue on a Dacia. It’s more trendy but it’s lost its function. They’ve listened to VW or just lost the plot. The height it lower also so it’s certainly a learning curve. Hopefully someone will bring out a mod / guide to bring the usb and dash cam lighter to the top.

[@davidcurran8039]

Couldn’t agree more. Why don’t they just put a design engineer into the cab of any van and talk to delivery drivers. Imagine - designing a van with the customer in mind. Still a wet belt system. An exhaust cleaning system that’s incredibly pricey when it goes wrong. A fuel cover flap that I fully expect to last weeks rather than years. I suspect there’s no wind where these are made because trying to load from the back with doors that aren’t fixed open and you’re liable to be hit, or hit any vehicle parked next to you. I miss my old van already.

[@sharkbayboards]

You forgot to say anything about all the alarms going off everytime you start the car, i hate my new transit!

[@leestephenfitzpatrick6373]

My automatic was delivered yesterday, I have two stalks, as the second is the gear shift. Just wondering where the jack & wheel brace are situated 😮

[@rossbatterbury6658]

Jack and wheel brace is in the back left corner by the door

[@leestephenfitzpatrick1272]

​@@rossbatterbury6658thanx mate, I did eventually find it.

[@neilburns8869]

I must admit that in terms of a Ford Van it looks more American than anything we have saw before in the UK. They have lowered the roof a bit and I can understand why they are doing it. They are trying to make it look more like the VW Transporter and Peugeot Expert in style. The Peugeot Expert changed style in late 2016/easy 2017 and has been selling like hot cakes with the French company grabbing huge contracts with the likes of Royal Mail and Police Scotland. Peugeot are obviously parr of the same US based company that are ultimately responsible for Citroen, Vauxhall and Fiat these days which is why the Dispatch, Vivaro and Ducato are looking very similar in shape and style. And I believe that this is behind Ford's tinkering with their Transit Custom.

[@nicolias200]

Wet belt wet belt wet belt 🤯🤯🤯why o why do these still exist there absolutely sh**e , every single owner i know has had to replace the engine due to this horrendous design 😫😫

[@JB-ud2fr]

Where are the cupholders?! Space looks tight for 3 lads sat in it! Why make it smaller than the previous model! Lol

[@brightspark0612]

Good luck on your GCSE’s

[@Carcode]

Your name being “brightspark” I thought you’d be a bit more clever, knowing I’m driving a van and therefore I am way past GCSE age?! 😅

[@brightspark0612]

Kids and grown ups love it so the happy world of Haribo!!!

[@DonnyRP]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing.

[@bertfairbrother7745]

Why put in a heated steering wheel🤔.. i'd prefer a sat nav as std, you can use that 365 days a year. Just my 2bobs worth. Thanks for the video.

[@Carcode]

Thanks for watching, I suppose most people use their phone now with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, but I do like to also have a built in nav! The heated steering wheel is a luxury, but so nice on cold winter days, Ford are trying to make their PRO range more comfortable and desirable to customers!

[@buloony]

Cramped cabin, why is the B pillar so close to my head, I can see it’s a VW in Ford’s clothing, I’m surprised I’m not bumping my head on the A pillar when I get into the van as I did in the transporter. This has ruined the Custom.

[@paulegner7653]

Same crappy engine. 5 4 3 2 1 bang that'll be £2000 sir .oh and wait weeks for the parts too

[@TheOffroader7458]

Ford have learned nothing, still got that stupid wet belt

[@DesiprideRecords]

How old is this kid looks and sounds 12 to me has he even got a driving licence

[@rossbatterbury6658]

Are you old enough to drive 😂

[@hughmungus6838]

Wet belt 😂. No thx

[@paultchaikovsky8878]

wet belt, no thanks will buy a VW

[@jamesvolland4133]

VW has the exsact same engine, which is fine if you look after it.
