We don't doubt that you are rather satisfied with your purchase but get the feeling that you wish there was a little more to the overall package. That's where our list of extras comes into play - they will enhance the ownership experience and hopefully solve a few of the problems you are facing.

Here are 5 extras that we think you should consider retrofitting to your Ford Tourneo Custom. Get in touch with your dealership to find out what they can do to assist.

 

1. Tyre Pressure Monitor System

Keep an eye on the tyre pressures without the need to stop and manually check every time you go on a journey. The Tyre Pressure Monitor (TPM) system will alert you to low pressure and rapid deflation, allowing you to act quickly and safely. Avoid unexpected tyre failure that is caused by low pressures and safeguard against any unwanted incidents.

 

2. Privacy Glass

Privacy glass isn't only an aesthetic enhancement for your Tourneo, it doubles as an efficiency and safety tool as well. By arresting the sun's rays before they enter the cabin you can cut down on the amount of air conditioning required to cool the cabin. This, in turn, will save you fuel. Privacy glass will also keep the glass shards in place should a window break due to stones, debris or an unsolicited smash-and-grab attack.

 

3. Roof Rack

Sure you think you have enough space, but when the Tourneo is loaded up to the bring with passengers you may find that the luggage compartment is a little tighter than you need. Expand your luggage carrying capabilities with an approved roof rack. This solution is also great for transporting items that are a little too large for the rear of the Tourneo, such as bicycles, kayaks, and camping equipment.

 

4. Trailer Tow Attachment

Fancy way of saying 'tow bar', right? no matter what Ford calls it, the fact remains that with the towing attachment you will be able to further expand your luggage and accessory carrying capabilities. Hook up the jet ski, the speed boat or the trailer and set off on your next adventure in only a matter of minutes.

 

5. Alloy Wheels

This one won't help solve any particular problems but man, will you look good on your next holiday! These 16-inch alloy wheels ate 6.5-inches wide and allow for the fitment of the approved Ford tyre size. the Style A wheel is an attractive solution for those needing a fresh new look.
