10,000km With the Ford Transit Custom! Is Ford's mid-size van better than a ute?

The van seems to have been forgotten in Australia as dual-cab utes have ruled the roost. But should it be this way? Road test editor John Law and the Chasing Cars AV crew have lived with this mid-size Transit Custom for the last six months and 10,000km to find out. During that time the Transit Custom went on tour with Prime Ministar, supporting the Rubens, worked as a crew and camera van, went on road trips, and generally made life better. But not all was perfect. Priced at $63,990 in tested Sport DCiV dual-cab guise, the Transit Custom's build quality and tech connectivity proved to be constant niggles. In this video, we recap our last six months with this mostly slick operator delivering the highs, lows, and a verdict on this Toyota Hiace, Peugeot Expert and Hyundai Staria rival.
