Final Report

Following a welcome extension to its spell on the What Van? fleet, it is almost time to bid farewell to my Transit Custom Sport DCiV (double-cab-in-van).

The Transit Custom is not only the UK’s biggest-selling van by a considerable margin – a position it has held since its launch in 2012 – but it has also been hailed as one of the most accomplished, a claim we have little reason to dispute having lived with the van for more than half a year.

The Custom Sport’s appearance is immediately impressive: it is slick, stylish, well proportioned and likely to appeal to owner drivers and small businesses that want to add a bit of panache to their operations with some kerbside kudos, rather than to fleets that want to work their vans hard in conditions where they might pick up occasional scuffs and scratches.

The DCiV Sport version will also suit operators that want a dual-purpose vehicle they can put the family in at weekends after ferrying work colleagues from Monday to Friday.

Car-like is a much overused description when it comes to bigging up light commercial vehicles’ luxuriousness and performance, but it can legitimately be applied to the Custom Sport’s driveability and comfort.

My van’s looks are enhanced by 17in alloy wheels, metallic paint (£624 excluding VAT), a Sport Van body styling kit, hood accent stripe and a coloured grille with three base bars. Inside there are two front seats and a three-seat rear bench that is separated from the load bay by a full bulkhead, which helped the cabin to warm up quickly on cold winter days. The driver and front seat passenger also benefit from heated seats, while the Quickclear heated windscreen – something Ford has long provided – means you don’t have to wait for ages for the glass to clear.

The chunky, leather-trimmed, rake and reach-adjustable steering wheel is leather trimmed, as are the seats. The centrepiece of the cab is the floating, tablet-inspired, 8in colour touchscreen with Ford’s Sync 3 communications and entertainment system, which can be operated with pinch and swipe gestures. It houses two USB outlets and, it goes without saying, DAB radio. Sync 3 is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and also offers Emergency Assist via Ford Pass Connect.

There is no satnav but Apple CarPlay allows you to use a smartphone instead. Once it’s plugged in, the route map and directions appear on the screen. You can also access other services, including the option to hear and reply to messages without touching your phone.

My Custom Sport has a decent payload of 904kg combined with a compact load cube of 3.5m3. This falls short of the hefty 1,143kg payload and 4.3m3 cargo bay of a previous long-term test van, the Volkswagen Transporter Kombi. But unlike the Kombi, the Ford van comes with a full-height solid bulkhead, which means you can fill the load bed to its limit without worrying that objects breaking free under heavy braking will fly into the cabin and endanger its occupants. Nothing should come loose anyway if operators make use of the six steel tie-down loops to secure cargo in place.

2 Custom class=

The load area’s interior is well protected from minor damage by a rubber floor lining, wheel arch covers and wood panelling extending halfway up the walls and covering the inside of the tailgate, which is branded as a ‘liftgate’ by Ford and installed on my Custom Sport as a £240 (excluding VAT) option.

By way of further load-carrying comparison, the Vauxhall Vivaro L1H1 Edition double-cab, which is also available from fellow PSA Group brands badged as a Citroen Dispatch or Peugeot Expert, offers a payload of 1,308kg with a load volume of 3.2m3.

Rear seat passengers in the Custom Sport DCiV can gain access to their berths via sliding doors on both sides of the van, which is by no means a given on crew vans, many of which only provide a near-side door. 

The bulkhead and opaque liftgate mean the driver has to rely on the van’s wing mirrors when on the move, but these are plate-sized and include a wide-view section to improve vision.

The Custom’s precise steering is as good as it gets in the mid-sized van sector and the six-speed auto box takes the strain out of footwork when on urban missions. With Ford now marketing rear-wheel drive Transits and flagship Ranger pick-up trucks with a 10-speed auto, however, it will be interesting to see if the system finds its way into the Transit Custom in future considering the strength of the competition. Volkswagen’s seven-speed DSG is still going strong in the Transporter while the Citroen Dispatch, Peugeot Expert, Vauxhall Vivaro and Toyota Proace all employ an excellent eight-speed automatic transmission. 

The Sport is well protected by driver assistance features: an excellent rear-view camera and parking sensor prove invaluable when reversing into tight spots, front sensors come in handy when negotiating London’s vicious traffic calming installations, blind spot Information lets you know when cyclists are lurking either side of the van, and cross-traffic alert can be crucial in preventing accidents when backing out of car park spaces or driveways on to busy streets.

Fuel consumption improves once you escape the city’s limits. On long motorway hauls the adaptive cruise control installed in the Sport is a boon to improving economy and facilitates a relaxing drive. The system, which includes an adjustable speed limiter, is easy to use by way of steering wheel-mounted buttons. It features settings to determine how close the van gets to the vehicle in front before the brakes are automatically applied to maintain a safe distance. Using the speed limiter is a simple way to ensure you don’t stray above legal limits, particularly on the vast stretches of the UK’s motorways that are restricted to 50mph.

Press the eco mode button on the dashboard and economy is improved still further, but there is a noticeable dip in performance. Acceleration is muted and, with or without cruise control engaged, top speed is restricted to 70mpg. Selecting eco mode with a full payload in the back is not recommended.

Out of eco mode performance is impressive: the Sport can easily hold its own in the fast lane and acceleration is swift enough to make overtaking a straightforward procedure. The six-speed automatic gearbox delivers power sharply from the 185hp engine and handling is exemplary with well-weighted, precise steering helping the van to move smoothly around corners.

While the Sport is the flagship model, the Transit Custom range is accomplished overall and there is little to suggest it will be knocked off its perch as the nation’s favourite van anytime soon.

6th Report

The Transit Custom Sport has now spent about six months on the What Van? fleet, undertaking a variety of people and load-carrying assignments, and so far I have been impressed by the crew van’s build quality. Everything seems to be securely bolted together, made from sturdy materials and no unwanted rattles or squeaks have developed.

Indestructible build quality in the medium van sector used to be the USP of the German brands Volkswagen and Mercedes, with their respective Transporter and Vito models, but the Transit Custom can now stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the business. Even the UK’s pothole-festooned city streets and country lanes have failed to knock the van out of its stride, while firm but forgiving suspension ensures driver and passengers remain comfortable in the cabin.

One minor blip occurred when a front-seat passenger slipped when stepping into the cab and managed to dislodge with their shoe the small body panel that sits below the hinged panel covering the fuel and AdBlue filling nozzles. It clicked simply back into place, however, so no harm was done to van (or passenger).

The short-wheelbase (SWB) Custom Sport DCiV has a tight turning circle of 11.6m, which helps it to steer clear of hazards during tricky manoeuvres and compares with 12.4m for the SWB Renault Trafic, 12.9m for the SWB Peugeot Expert, Citroen Dispatch and Vauxhall Vivaro and 11.9m for the SWB Volkswagen Transporter T6.1 Kombi.

Custom Reversing class=

Extra peace of mind is provided by vigilant all-round distance sensors and the excellent rear-view camera.

Inside the cab, the knobs, dials and buttons are not just intuitive but sturdy and durable too, and the glove box is lockable, which is always good to see. The interior is pretty well-insulated against road and engine noise when travelling at speed on motorway journeys, for example, but it can occasionally be difficult to hear the radio.

The provision of remote central door locking with deadlocks should deter thieves from getting into the van and another common, but nonetheless welcome feature is the ability to lock the load and passenger areas separately. If all else fails the Custom Sport is fitted with a Thatcham category 1 alarm. 

If a van needs repairing, or even just a regular service, then Ford has taken steps to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum. Since 2019, the Transit Custom, as well as Ford’s other vans bearing the Transit nameplate, have come equipped with the brand’s built-in FordPass Connect modem. This automatically sends vehicle health data to the brand’s new telematics application FORDLiive, which provides vehicle-specific maintenance information to customers.

Small businesses with up to five vehicles receive notifications through the FordPass Pro app, while managers of larger fleets are kept informed by a vehicle health dashboard in a version of Ford Telematics. Ford claims FORDLiive will deliver fewer breakdowns, fewer time-consuming trips to dealers and quicker workshop repairs. The service
is free to operators of connected Transit-badged vans.

5th Report

With the UK’s roads opening up again, I have been making up for lost time by continuing to put more miles on the Custom Sport’s odometer.

Long overdue missions have included carting furniture, a new barbecue and myriad other household equipment across the country and ferrying an assortment of goods to charity shops following a clear out.

All of this has been easily and safely stashed away in the self-contained load box and secured with stretchy straps lashed to the six tie-down rings.

The cargo area is well protected with ply-lining on the side walls and tailgate (liftgate as Ford calls it), rubber-lined floor and scratch-resistant wheel arch covers. 

The big tailgate also provides welcome shelter when loading up in the rain and an LED load compartment light makes things easier when working after dark. A 12v power socket is also installed in the load area as a £58 addition (all prices exclude VAT).

Taking longer journeys has allowed me to appreciate that in the Custom Sport’s cabin, Ford has designed a comfortable, well laid out and stylish environment to spend time in.

In the first facelift of the Transit Custom in 2018 Ford, to its credit, responded to customers’ criticisms that the interior needed additional storage and a more user-friendly dashboard.

2. Custom class=

The instrument panel alone now offers 25 litres of storage, including three open bins on its upper surface with space for clipboards or mobile devices, and lockable glovebox stowage capable of storing A4 files in the lower closed compartment. There are also cup holders and bottle holders at each end of the instrument panel. 

The door panels now house three stowage spaces and a grab handle has been integrated into the passenger-side door trim – but, curiously, the driver gets a storage box for spectacles in the equivalent spot. 

Creature comforts include heated driver and outboard passenger seats plus effective air conditioning.

The three rear seats offer plenty of head, shoulder and leg room. Clips allow passengers to push open the rear side windows, which here have window blinds added as a £72 extra. 

On the irritating side, the pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection that comes as part of the otherwise excellent adaptive cruise control package can get a little hysterical and bleep alarmingly when no danger is imminent. Likewise, the front and rear distance sensors tend to go off unnecessarily when driving along narrow country lanes.

4th Report

It was a long time coming, but with lockdown restrictions lifted I have finally managed to put some miles under the Custom Sport’s 17in alloy wheels with a series of long drives beyond the city limits.

One of the most notable consequences of this new freedom has been a dramatic improvement in fuel economy, with the miles per gallon achieved going from around 24mpg to above 30mpg.

On long motorway hauls the adaptive cruise control installed in the Sport is a boon to improving economy and facilitates a relaxing drive, ensuring you arrive at your destination (or leave the motorway) feeling as fresh as possible.

The system, which includes an adjustable speed limiter, is easy to use by way of steering wheel-mounted buttons. It features settings to determine how close the van gets to the vehicle in front before the brakes are automatically applied to maintain a safe distance.

Using the speed limiter is a simple way to ensure you don’t stray above legal limits, particularly on the vast stretches of the UK’s motorways that are restricted to 50mph.

Press the eco mode button on the dashboard and economy is improved still further, but there is a noticeable dip in performance. Acceleration is muted and, with or without cruise control engaged, top speed is restricted to 70mpg. Selecting eco mode with a full payload in the back would not be recommended. However, most of my van’s loads have been bulky rather than heavy; a couple of armchairs are currently strapped down in the load area waiting to be ferried to a new home in Gloucestershire.

Custom class=

Out of eco mode performance is impressive: the Sport can easily hold its own in the fast lane and acceleration is swift enough to make overtaking a straightforward procedure. The six-speed automatic gearbox delivers power sharply from the 185hp engine, although it can get a little noisy in the cab when picking up speed as the system can feel as if it hangs onto gears for a fraction longer than necessary. As one would expect with a Ford, handling is exemplary with well-weighted, precise steering helping the van to move smoothly around corners. The leather-trimmed steering wheel is chunky and comfortable to hold and the gear lever is within easy reach. It also includes a manual mode if you prefer a more engaging drive.

Bi-Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights come as an extra-cost option on my van and the projector-style headlights are particularly useful when negotiating dark, overgrown country lanes at night. The headlights also dip and return to full beam automatically when approaching and passing traffic from the opposite direction.

The cabin is a comfortable environment in which to pass long journeys, although I would appreciate a second armrest on the driver’s door side to complement the one to the left of the seat.

The Custom Sport’s cab comes with Sync 3 connectivity, DAB radio, an 8in touchscreen and a pair of USB ports – but not satnav, either as standard or, in my case, as an option. This is no loss, however, as Apple CarPlay allows you to use a smartphone instead. Once it’s plugged in, the route map and directions appear on the screen. You can also access other services, including the option to hear and reply to messages without touching your phone.

3rd Report

Since the Ford Transit Custom Sport DCiV took its place on What Van?’s long-term fleet in January, the UK has been held under a strict lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with long-distance road trips prohibited.

This has meant my journeys in the Custom have been confined to within London city limits. While it has been frustrating not to give the 185hp powertrain its head out on the open road, fortunately the Custom Sport is great to drive in all conditions.

The precise steering is as good as it gets in the medium van sector, ideal for manoeuvring around and about tight residential streets – which are further narrowed and clogged with parked cars because so many people are confined to their homes. 

Although the six-speed automatic transmission takes the strain out of the footwork, it will be interesting to find out whether six cogs feels sufficient when we finally get to take the van on faster routes, bearing in mind that Ford now equips rear-wheel drive versions of its Transit and flagship examples of its Ranger pick-up with a ten-speed auto gearbox. It’s also worth noting the strength of the competition; Volkswagen’s seven-speed DSG is still going strong in the Transporter while the Citroen Dispatch, Peugeot Expert, Vauxhall Vivaro and Toyota Proace all employ an excellent eight-speed auto system in top-of-the-range models.

2 Custom Load class=

My urban missions in the Custom Sport have included carrying camera equipment and various items of couture to a budding designer’s fashion shoot and, contrastingly, carting a load bed full of garden waste and household junk to a council recycling centre. 

The excellent rear-view camera and parking sensor proved invaluable while reversing into the tight bay before I swung open the tailgate and unloaded. Passing over the weighing ramp on the way out, the reading was 2,280kg, a few hundred kilograms less than on the way in.

The driver is well protected against potential urban mishaps – front sensors come in handy when negotiating some of London’s vicious traffic calming installations, Blind Spot Information lets you know when cyclists are lurking either side of the van, and Cross Traffic Alert can be crucial in preventing serious accidents when backing out of car park spaces or out of driveways on to busy streets.

A rare welcome consequence of lockdown has been to drastically reduce the traffic in London, meaning journeys that would have been undertaken at a snail’s pace can now be driven briskly, illustrating the Custom Sport’s lively performance. I have occasionally selected the Eco driving mode to curb the engine’s (and my own) enthusiasm.

Despite this and the reasonably efficient stop/start system (although I find these work better on manual than automatic vehicles), the monopoly of city driving has resulted in fuel consumption of 24.4mpg to date, which is well short of the claimed WLTP combined-cycle figure of 38.2mpg. I look forward to a considerable improvement when the Custom Sport gets some motorway runs under its belt.

2nd Report

For operators whose priority is to carry a driver, a co-driver and a bulky, space-consuming load, then a crew van is not likely to be their best bet. But for those who require seating for a work team, a decent payload and a serviceable cargo space for tools and equipment, then a model such as the Transit Custom DCiV (double-cab in van) could tick all the boxes.

And when it’s in Sport trim, the business owner gets an added dash of panache to make their van stand out from the crowd.

Crew vans can also be ideal as dual-purpose vehicles for owner-drivers or SMEs, for example. They are ideal for putting in a working shift during the week and carrying the family at weekends. 

It’s worth pointing out that for tax purposes, UK owners may need to convince HMRC that their crew vans are used predominantly as working vehicles, particularly if their payloads fall below 1.0t, or they may be classed as passenger cars rather than light commercial vehicles and thus be liable for VAT.

My Custom Sport has a decent payload of 904kg combined with a compact load cube of 3.5m3. This falls short of the hefty 1,143kg payload and 4.3m3 cargo bay of my recently departed Volkswagen Transporter Kombi – but unlike the Kombi, the Ford van comes with a full-height solid bulkhead, which means you can fill the load bed to its limit without worrying that objects breaking free under heavy braking will fly into the cabin and endanger its occupants. Nothing should come loose anyway if operators make use of the six steel tie-down loops to secure cargo in place.

Rear seat passengers in the Custom Sport DCiV can gain access to their berths via sliding doors on both sides of the van, which is by no means a given on crew vans, many of which
only provide a near-side door.

The bulkhead and opaque liftgate mean the driver has to rely on the van’s wing mirrors when on the move, but thankfully these are of a good size and include a wide-view section to improve vision and make it easier to spot cyclists who might be lurking to either side of the vehicle.

1st Report

The Transit Custom has reigned supreme as the UK’s most popular van since Ford introduced the nameplate for its medium van in 2012 to distinguish it from its big brother the Transit.

To get an idea of the Custom’s dominance of its sector, in 2020 it outsold the combined total of the other four top-selling medium vans – the Volkswagen Transporter, Vauxhall Vivaro, Peugeot Expert and Renault Trafic. 

Its total of 43,551 registrations far surpassed the 23,506 sales of the nation’s second best-selling van, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Customers are not spoilt for choice: the diesel-fuelled Transit Custom line-up is powered by a 2.0-litre Ecoblue engine up for grabs at 105hp, 130hp, 170hp or 185hp. 

Last year Ford added the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle version to the range, which comes with an electric motor plus a battery pack that can be recharged using mains electricity.
It is backed by a range-extender petrol engine.

In 2013 Ford complemented the Transit Custom trim level option list with a Sport van, a tradition it has continued ever since, and early this year I was delighted to welcome the latest iteration of the Custom Sport DCiV (double-cab in van) to the What Van? fleet. It comes with a lively 185hp engine, which in my van is married to six-speed automatic transmission.

Light commercial vehicles are, of course, predominantly working tools. But the Custom Sport, particularly in crew van guise, bridges the gap to passenger cars in that it carries considerable desirability along with versatility and practicality.

Frustratingly, the arrival of my Sport van coincided with the implementation of another Covid-19 lockdown followed by the onset of a prolonged bout of arctic weather conditions, both of which restricted my opportunities to get behind the chunky, leather-trimmed, rake and reach-adjustable steering wheel of the van.

It did not, however, diminish its kerb appeal. The Custom Sport is a great-looking van that is likely to attract owner-drivers and SMEs, in particular, who want to create a slick, stylish image for their businesses while enjoying the experience of driving to and from their place of work. The DCiV will also appeal to families as a dual-purpose vehicle.

Car-like is an overused phrase but one that can genuinely be applied to the Custom Sport when it comes to driveability and comfort.

Visually my van is enhanced by 17in alloy wheels, metallic paint (£624, excluding VAT), Sport Van body styling kit, hood accent stripe and a coloured grille with three base bars.

Inside there are two front seats and a three-seat rear bench that is separated from the load bay by a full bulkhead, which helps the cabin to warm up quickly on cold winter days. The driver and front seat passenger also benefit from heated seats while the Quickclear heated windscreen, something Ford has long provided, means you don’t have to wait for ages for the glass to clear.

Apart from the aforementioned steering wheel, the seats also get leather trimming. The centrepiece of the cab is the floating, tablet-inspired, 8in colour touchscreen with Ford’s Sync 3 communications and entertainment system, which can be operated with pinch and swipe gestures. It houses two USB outlets and, it goes without saying, DAB radio. Sync3 is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and also offers Emergency Assist via Ford Pass Connect.
