The Ford Transit is a vehicle knows across the world for its successful exploits as a delivery van, the vehicle of choice for a business’s regardless of their application. The smaller Transit Custom serves a slightly different role but is still a desirable piece of kit, especially in the so-called ‘Sport’ trim.

In December of 2018, Ford announced the introduction of an updated Transit custom after the original has made its debut back in 2015. The new model benefits from an updated interior, improved connectivity and a condensed model line-up offering, which includes two models comprising of a long wheelbase in Ambiente guise and a short wheelbase in Sport trim.

1.Load Area Protection Kit- R3 090

Since the Transit Custom is a light commercial vehicle, it is reasonable to assume that its large rear loading bay will be used to load a variety of items, some of which will have the ability to damage the rear loading bay. The relatively low price of the Load Area Protection kit certainly makes it a worthwhile investment while also making the rear loading bay look clean and presentable at the same time.

3.Rear View Camera with Mirror Display

Since the rear loading bay of the lengthy Transit Custom is likely to be filled with items regularly, a rearview camera allows the driver visibility, meaning added safety in tight spots and peace pf mind when manoeuvring the vehicle.

4.Roof Rack- R7 210

Since Transits, in general, are all about utility space, the ability to add more space to the vehicle with a handy set of roof racks only adds to what is already an exceptionally practical light commercial vehicle package.

5.Trailer Tow Attachments- R7 710

With a braked towing capacity that varies between 1 700-1 800kg, the Transit Custom with the optional tow bar attachment is a far more practical vehicle, allowing for a variety of items to be pulled along for the journey.
