Two Models One Purpose - Survive rough roads
on The Ford Transit Custom Van may be a workhorse, and a staple for several businesses. It’s also highly adaptable, counting on what you wish – or what proportion you’d wish to splurge on funky additions. More about this later. Here we glance at the Ford Transit Custom Trail, Trend and Active load-carrier vans, all of which are available as Double Cab-in-Vans (with a second row of three seats before of the rear load space) do you have to have to transport your crew to employment. The Ford Transit Custom Trail and Ford Transit Custom Trend are simply designed to address bad roads. the united kingdom isn’t unique in having bad roads, but it’s certainly getting worse. So for anyone using the roads for business, it’s always best that you just have the correct vehicle to own a secure and sound ride. Key features of the Trend, include front fog lamps, parking distance sensors, auto headlights, LED daytime running lights, power-folding door mirrors, full wheel covers, rain-sensing wipers, and projector-style halogen headlights with static cornering lights. Engine options include a 2.0L TDCi Ford EcoBlue 185 PS (136 kW), a 2.0L TDCi Ford EcoBlue 130 PS (96 kW) which is additionally available during a hybrid, a 2.0L TDCi Ford EcoBlue 170 PS (125 kW), or a 1.0L Plug-in Hybrid 126 PS (92 kW). The Trail comes with a Limited Slip Differential which transfers the ability to the wheel with the foremost grip. However since the Ford Transit Custom Trail and Active are two-wheel drive that may not help much! They differ in spec slightly and price. Key features of the Trail model include 16″ 10-spoke, alloys which have locking wheel lugs and leather seat trim. There are three engine options: a 2.0L TDCi Ford EcoBlue 130 PS (96 kW) (also available as a hybrid), and a 2.0L TDCi Ford EcoBlue 170 PS (125 kW). A seemingly unique optional extra for the Trail is Ford’s high series instrument cluster. although the Trail is that the lower of the 2 models with the Active being £4000 costlier than the Trail, everyone prefers the Trail – hence it’s asked for more. The specification of the Trail seems enough. nobody would really complain at having black ABS body mouldings and a VW Transporter Swamper-style van. The Ford Transit Custom Trail encompasses a surprising amount of trim and deserves a much better following and sales figures.Its a small amount underrated. The RV are pretty almost like the Ford Transit Custom Limited and therefore the Trend Models. It comes standard with the Sync 3 8 Inch Colour screen. But strangely no passenger airbag while the Active gets 4 as standard. It comes with a full leather seats as standard. The Trail gets 6 seats as a double Cab while the Active only 5. Thus for several people the Trail actually makes more practical sense, especially within the van. we’ve several Ford Transit Custom Active vans that we’ve got purchasable and lease. The spec actually sits higher within the Active instead of the Limited model, with quad airbags, 17″ 5-spoke machined alloys with locking wheel lugs and half leather seats as standard. There doesn’t appear to be a limited slip diff on this vehicle within the current listing. The seating configuration is 2 heated seats within the front. Thus the double cab version are a 5 seater. Ford Transit Custom Active features 170bhp/~Nm Power/torque; 6-speed manual transmission (optional automatic); extended length running boards; mechanical limited-slip differential; a heated, ten-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, with lumbar adjust support and armrest; and standard roof rails. Several engine options are available, including a 2.0L TDCi Ford EcoBlue 130 PS (96 kW) and a 2.0L TDCi Ford EcoBlue 170 PS (125 kW). Both are available as hybrids. The Double Cab-in-Van is obtainable as L1 H1 3.5 cu.m with 1577mm maximum loadspace length, or L2 H1 4.3 cu.m with 1944mm loadspace. As front-wheel drive vehicles, neither of those vans are intended to be used off road. the bottom clearance simply wouldn’t allow it. But as an alternate to our other Sporty vans this keep it up the VW Transporter T6 Swamper rational. The VW is typically 4 wheel drive therefore the two don’t seem to be really comparable. Swiss Vans is thought for van modification. we provide a variety of upgrades – including 18″ and 20″ van alloy wheels, custom-leather interiors, flat-bottomed, leather steering wheels, carpeting, ceiling-mounted LED lights, ply lining, and Vanorak – a storage system to stay things tidy within the back of your van. Then there are our signature upgrades and styling packs. The WASP package brings affordable style to your Transit Custom, with alloy wheels, a front splitter, rear spoiler, and side bars, among other options. If you’re after a sportier look, the Hornet upgrade offers a Hornet front splitter, rear spoiler, side skirts and more. Note, Swiss Vans also sells Ford Transit chiller and freezer van conversions. Ford itself also offers a spread of optional extras for Transit Custom vans, including a rear-view camera with trailer hitch assist, a lane-keeping alert with driver alert, and an auto shaft. Swiss Vans offers several finance options on a formidable range of vans, including Transit Custom finance, and affordable Ford Transit Custom lease deals. With the sheer number of options and additions available, we’re happy to speak about the most effective choices for your needs.
