Have a 74 plate upgraded from a 2019, new one trend, arm rest optional extra, auto folding mirrors optional extra, underseat storage extra, steering wheel folding extra.. fuel tank tiny old one 1 a week fill up this one 3 times for the same milage, comfortable but pet hates include all climate now on screen no buttons, stop start turn off through settings and resets every start up.
i would prefer if they just kept the old shape and in stead put all there effort into fixing all engine problems and make it into a reliable van you can trust
Currently driving the previous version but the sport model and had this new mk3 custom limited on loan for 2 days loved the gearbox they have finally got the ratios right ie lower meaning 3rd gear for mini roundabouts no problem now, steering is very light but feels like more turns lock to lock which combined with the soft suspension means it’s more van/lorry like to drive. I found lots of annoying rattling from the drivers door and general road noise seemed uncomfortably loud. Also hated the main speedo display looks incredibly cheap Chinese also air vents have no individual turn off and generally plastics seem cheaper. I need to try a higher spec Auto but otherwise disappointed as been waiting for this van for a while.
Mark. Yea please! Your reviews of vans and commercial vehicles are second to none! Yes the Transit is an icon! Even head turning. That said shocked to read the comments below on the Friday night shift, dog's dinner of the new spec Transit. Perhaps the " don't be first to buy, wait 6 months" applies? Surely Ford will get the Transit " spot on". Back to reviews. More pick up trucks. Here the farmers appear to be buying Ford Rangers by the " bucket load". Cheers! 👍👍
Ford have really dropped away. For the passenger market , they have very very little to offer anymore. I’d be surprised if they are still selling in Ireland in 10 years
Crap. Bought one 4 weeks ago and haven't seen it for the last 2. So many problems. Rejected it and I'm now waiting for something else. If anyone has the model before this, please keep it
Paint issues, powertrain malfunction with historic codes. Oil life is at 0%, constant deisel filter blockage. Satnav doesn't work. Reverse camera sometimes works. Screens come on when they feel like it. No arch liners. No check straps. Uncomfortable seats. Doors don't shut properly. Wires exposed through out the cargo area. I think that's it mate. 70 plate had no problems in 3 years.😢
Diesel has the stupid ass wet belt system timing guaranteed to fail I wouldn't waste my time I've had one before just rubbish even when you do early oil service😢
Just so you know, the 2024 VW Transporter is made by Ford at the same manufacturing plant as the Transit Custom. All made at the Ford / Koc Otosan plant in Turkey. Underpinnings are the same with the only difference being badge engineering.
Loving this. I think Nobby on vans has a lot of Potential
Genuinely. As a dad with four children, who don't drive I do a fair few hauls, and hire a van. I find these kind of reviews really helpful. Thank you.
These are flying out the door at the moment incredibly popular, if your looking to lease they are dirt cheap for what you get
Can’t stop seeing them this week now that I’ve been driving one

More vans please

Ranger is useless for anything but a farmer.
this looks exactly like the Renaul Trafic 2023
Love your presenting style, I think the Primastar offers better value
No armrest is a deal breaker
Just picked up my 24 plate. Any idea where the height adjustment is for the drivers seat…I’ve looked everywhere😂
Wet belt still? Is there a 4-wheel drive option?
Yes wet belt, yes AWD option, but only in Automatic diesel.
@@zoltrix7779 Well if they want to sell them they should make the first wet belt change free. A courier would need this done in 18 months?
4 wheel drive and im sold
Option on Automatic diesel only.

Does this vans engine use a wet belt?
Yes
Unfortunately yes
Boom
In Australia Ford offers 5 year unlimited km warranties.

What’s gone wrong with it?
Paint issues, powertrain malfunction with historic codes. Oil life is at 0%, constant deisel filter blockage. Satnav doesn't work. Reverse camera sometimes works.

Ive had my 2014 for 6 years.
chain cam, 550,00km runs perfect.
@@RIPPERTONyeah you're lucky then the timing chain ones did go better than the stupid ass wet belt system
Alot of extras with pants pulled down
Ford hates cup holders
Diesel has the stupid ass wet belt system timing guaranteed to fail I wouldn't waste my time I've had one before just rubbish even when you do early oil service😢
Oh oh, wet belt.. haven't ford learnt yet ?
They have learned. that's why they changed it from a chain to a wet belt, so that they can sell more belts.
Goat?😂 havnt been the goat for about 30 years. VW transporter and vito wipe the floor with a transit custom
Full of 💩 you are
