With the end of financial year on our doorstep, now is the perfect time to pop down to Barry Maney Ford and hop into the all-new Ford Transit Custom.
Designed from the ground up, the 2024 Transit Custom is built to deliver outstanding performance and load-carrying capability without compromising on vehicle handling and occupant comfort, while remaining practical for those on the road for the most part of the day.
Powering the Transit is the latest generation of Ford EcoBlue engine, a 2.0-litre turbo diesel powerplant with 125kW of power and 390Nm of torque putting power to the ground through the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
What makes this engine even more impressive is the work Ford has put into reducing noise and vibration commonly associated with diesel engines, enhancing your drive experience and making you feel like you’re driving a regular passenger vehicle.
And it truly does – whether cruising the streets or hitting the open road, the Transit Custom is firmly planted to the road and feels just you’re behind the wheel of an SUV, and the overall size of the long wheelbase model is not intimidating because of the abundance of tech packed into the vehicle.
Opening the rear doors up you are greeted to an abundance of space for the largest of cargo and numerous tie-down points to strap in the trickiest of packages, but where you’ll be spending the most time is inside the cabin, which has been refined to cater for those living a busy lifestyle on the road.
The ‘mobile office’ feature is a great move from Ford, allowing drivers to pull over for a break or a quick bit of office work, quickly tilt the steering wheel into a flattened position, slide on a tray and write away on a notepad, get stuck into a bit of lunch or open up the laptop to get a bit of emailing or quoting done without needing to race back to base.
Add to this a 13-inch landscape touch screen media unit and Ford’s advanced SYNC 4 communication and infotainment system with satellite navigation, making it the ultimate business partner or office on wheels.
Just like the passenger range of vehicles from Ford, the Transit Custom is also packed full of safety features to ensure yourself and your cargo are kept safe and sound while traversing the countryside such as blind spot monitoring with rear-cross traffic alert, exit warning and hill launch assist, lane keeping assistance with lane departure warning and pre collision assistance with autonomous emergency braking and intersection assistance.
Add to this a hose of front and rear sensors, rear view camera with 180-degree split view and reverse braking support as well as adaptive cruise control and it’s just like steering your daily drive!
As well as this, you’re getting the latest LED headlight technology with automatic headlight and high beam control, daytime running lights and rear fog lamps for making sure you’re seen on the road on those early morning starts.
Ford has done an unbelievable job of taking a workhorse built to get the job done and adding the mod-con luxuries and comfort we have come to expect from modern passenger vehicles in this Tranit package.
Whether you’re in search of a short or long wheel base van, the team at Barry Maney Ford can guide you through the Transit Custom options and get you on the road!
So pop on down to Barry Maney Ford at 199 Jubilee Highway West or contact the dealership on 8721 3400 to check it out today.
