Ford Transit MS-RT - It's more than just a van.... I love it

[@russellhoodwsm]

I’ve got one in yellow love it!

[@royw65]

Superb van, selling my 20yr old T4, and saving for a late Ford Transit Custom.. top video

[@ozmond2600]

I had a bog standard 2018 one as a company work van and thought it was a joy to drive. The only issue i had was sometimes the stereo system would just randomly decide not to work on some days. Always wanted one of these.

[@SteveCorwood]

Best van / daily I’ve had. I miss it as I’ve now sold it when I moved to Mallorca

[@Sirocco62]

Absolutely amazing van! Really want one of these but my finances just. Won’t stretch at the moment. Really like the small fridge ! Ingenious!

[@LeeDaviesFinancialJourney]

They are a fantastic looking van, I just couldn’t justify the extra £14,000 over the sport I have just ordered, specced up with 5 year manufacturer warranty. Got mine in Grey Matter, DCiV and Auto for £38,895 plus VAT, similar spec MS-RT was £53,000 plus VAT

[@SteveCorwood]

Definitely Lee, the price difference is a lot and I think the Sport looks great

[@redmille1000]

Even the salesman at Ford admitted to me they weren’t worth the extra and to buy a sport!

[@stevedodd9047]

Lovely van .. 😊

[@SteveCorwood]

Thanks Steve

[@mission1-2-1]

Nice vid. Not seen to many of these down in Auz, def on my short list. The house in the background looks cool too, maybe a crib vid next 🤔

[@SteveCorwood]

Thanks Nick. Definitely a great van. Very fortunate with the house also 🙏

[@bekabeka71]

That’s a cracker of a van mate 🔥 my first van is going to be MK6 2002 2.0 as an economy alternative as I’ve a Mercedes SUV so I need something transport cows and livestock sometimes so preferably a mid size roof short wheel base be perfect

[@SteveCorwood]

Thanks mate, SWB works well for so many and just depends on head fight you need

[@Rawdil]

Is this good as a family car of six? Are they reliable? Any known issues? Are the rear seats comfortable for long drives?

[@SteveCorwood]

Hey mine was 5 seats.. I had No issues and I sold it I moved to Spain and I have to say I do miss it

[@Ben36363]

It is better than any suv so much space, but the only down side is much older relatives getting in and out as it is high.

[@SteveCorwood]

Agree although rear access is pretty good 👍

[@davidbeattie4294]

A van that looks good and drives like a sports sedan is a thing of beauty. Its the vehicle that seldom says, "we can't do that". I personally find that trait to be enduring.

[@leprechaunshelper]

Personally I was dissatisfied to see the lack of a quality finish around the speedo and Rev counter binnacle they should of extended the piano black to the centre dash console or matched the carbon from the steering wheel…but that aside it’s a really lovely van to look at and more importantly drive 👍

[@craigorford9932]

I would love an MS-RT Transit I am strongly thinking about it been looking at the Engine mods bigger intercooler and the remap for around a couple of grand,And the suspension kits too.think I will supervise the wife and just not tell her.

[@gc5384]

[@SteveCorwood]

[@gc5384]

Thanks for all your help mate been great to get to know u here

[@Metal05]

I have a Race red LWB auto DCIV, I picked up in March on a 22 plate. Love mine too.

[@SteveCorwood]

Great choice and it’s a good colour 👍

[@stephendoran9974]

I'm in love ❤️

[@joroyle8108]

Absolutely beautiful van better than any car for me

[@SteveCorwood]

Certainly ticks a lot of boxes

[@stephenmuir1601]

I am also an owner and love the product it looks great and that’s where it finishes. The quality is shockingly bad the plastic bumpers are simply bonded on so over time with weather conditions, flex of the vehicle moving they crack and break. In 34 months of ownership it’s on its second front bumper plus both sills replaced. Also keep your eyes on the paintwork in particular front and rear arches stone chips, the paint couldn’t be any thinner. Also the rear arch mouldings with get peppered with chips, the quantity needs to improve drastically.

[@SteveCorwood]

Sad to hear this. Thanks for the heads up and I’ll keep my eye on it 🙏

[@robertremkes5588]

Im on my 4th front spoiler,2nd whole front and 2nd rear,plastics are rubbish.

[@Asgario]

@@robertremkes5588what year is ur van?

[@davebrown1100]

Absolutely agree, I love my 2018 model, but just had the rear bumper replaced and both rear quarter pannels, horrendous quality and the worst company to deal with. The rear arches were glued on with the old arch plastics ground Down. My garage had it in for months due to the company messing them about along with 250 for any delivery per item. Also they ow make thier own body kits instead of the European company that did it before, and thier quality is much worse so nothing fits right. Looks great and feels great but crap body's

[@jnmc-vx4fw]

Badass

[@SteveCorwood]

👌

[@coffeeguy6673]

This van looks the dogs dangly bits and I would love one as a self employed coffee machine engineer. Over £50k though is way out of my price range unfortunately. Very nice though. I have a Ford Mundano 2.0 estate, 66 plate with the powershift gearbox and I must say the auto box is really good, drove my other halfs Fiesta the other day and I was , oh, yeah, dip the clutch and put into first haha !! What's the mpg like Steve ?

Awesome piece of kit. Gutted I don’t have it anymore

[@coffeeguy6673]

[@SteveCorwood]

@@coffeeguy6673 I moved to Mallorca so right hand drive wasn’t practical. Would of loved to have kept it. Missing it if I’m being honest

The exhaust system with the sound amplifier is made by Kufatek 👍

[@Neil-Aspinall]

They look great without the silly body kits.

[@SteveCorwood]

I personally really like the MSRT kit some of the aftermarket’s not so much

[@suavesmithy]

Why didn’t you get a transporter sportline ! Best van ever

[@devilrayhandlebars6774]

How much do they cost? I want one

[@davidcameron8163]

It's a monet pit like all fix or replace daily cars

[@damiankimmins3880]

How has reliability been?

[@SteveCorwood]

It’s been great, I have actually now sold it. I need to get back to making content but I’ve had a busy 6 months 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ktpscleaningservices]

I wish that one was in the US 😭😭😭

I don’t get why they don’t do this in the US. I’m sure it would go down a treat

Transits: for when you can’t afford a Transporter

[@SteveCorwood]

Yep, I can’t afford a Twix. Transporter is out of my range 👍

[@comfortablynumb8832]

@@SteveCorwood to be fair you get more for your money with any other van in regards to upgrades but the performance and drivability you can’t beat with a transporter

[@SteveCorwood]

@@comfortablynumb8832 That’s why it has the price bracket. It depends on budget and what you want back from that budget. In the ideal world we probably all what we can’t justify or afford. However I was so happy with this van. It did everything and more than I wanted 👍

[@Ben36363]

Or people just prefer ford's, and don't care for a badge.

Remind me what the new transporter is based on 🫣😂
