Ford Transit MS-RT - It's more than just a van.... I love it

A Ford Transit van is often associated to being a builders van but The MS-RT is more than just a van. I bought this a few months ago and it ticks all of the boxes.
I was looking for something that would be great for the family, great for the dogs and that had good loading space for bikes etc. This Ford Transit Custom is the short wheelbase version and it ticks all of the boxes for me.
It doesn't come cheap at around £57000 but when you jump in and drive it you also understand it drives more like a car than a van. It's finished unbelievably well inside and out and is very comfy.
If you are looking to get a van please contact the team at Motor Connect. www.motorconnect.co.uk/
You can also get in touch with me on my social media channels.

I had a bog standard 2018 one as a company work van and thought it was a joy to drive. The only issue i had was sometimes the stereo system would just randomly decide not to work on some days. Always wanted one of these.

They are a fantastic looking van, I just couldn’t justify the extra £14,000 over the sport I have just ordered, specced up with 5 year manufacturer warranty. Got mine in Grey Matter, DCiV and Auto for £38,895 plus VAT, similar spec MS-RT was £53,000 plus VAT

@SteveCorwood 11 ай бұрын

Definitely Lee, the price difference is a lot and I think the Sport looks great

Personally I was dissatisfied to see the lack of a quality finish around the speedo and Rev counter binnacle they should of extended the piano black to the centre dash console or matched the carbon from the steering wheel…but that aside it’s a really lovely van to look at and more importantly drive 👍

A van that looks good and drives like a sports sedan is a thing of beauty. Its the vehicle that seldom says, "we can't do that". I personally find that trait to be enduring.

I am also an owner and love the product it looks great and that’s where it finishes. The quality is shockingly bad the plastic bumpers are simply bonded on so over time with weather conditions, flex of the vehicle moving they crack and break. In 34 months of ownership it’s on its second front bumper plus both sills replaced. Also keep your eyes on the paintwork in particular front and rear arches stone chips, the paint couldn’t be any thinner. Also the rear arch mouldings with get peppered with chips, the quantity needs to improve drastically.

Absolutely agree, I love my 2018 model, but just had the rear bumper replaced and both rear quarter pannels, horrendous quality and the worst company to deal with. The rear arches were glued on with the old arch plastics ground Down. My garage had it in for months due to the company messing them about along with 250 for any delivery per item. Also they ow make thier own body kits instead of the European company that did it before, and thier quality is much worse so nothing fits right. Looks great and feels great but crap body's
