Ford Transit Custom FAQs

Check out real-world situations relating to the Ford Transit Custom here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

• Ford Transit colour options?

  Ford says there are more than 400 colour choices on the Transit but there is almost no interest in Australia beyond the basics. “The take-up rate of non-white and silver paint was very low. However, we are watching the market and may expand the colour range if customers demand it,” says company spokesman, Neil McDonald.

• Is it possible to get an AWD version of the 2021 Ford Transit Custom?

  There is, indeed, an all-wheel-drive version of the current-model Ford Transit in some parts of the world, but sadly for those with a specific set of needs, it isn’t coming to Australia. Fundamentally, the sales volumes wouldn’t justify Ford’s investment in technical training and spare parts required to get the AWD Transit into showrooms here.

  On the face of it, Australian buyers looking for an all-wheel-drive commercial vehicle are vastly more attracted to vehicles like Ford’s own Ranger dual-cab utility. And that shouldn’t really come as a surprise, either; local buyers have always been more drawn to conventional utilities than they have vans. That’s the complete reversal of how the European market sees things, but that’s cultural difference for you.

  Meantime, I can see why some people would like an AWD Transit. For towing a tradie trailer while keeping your other gear safe and having the ability to get on and off greasy building sites, a van like a Transit with four-wheel-drive would take some beating. But for now, for Australia, it’s officially a no from Ford.
