Hi Matt
Just wondering how you like your Transit?
I am getting a new Van in November and was looking at a Vivaro, but it's so horribly Ugly (the new shape) that theres no way I'm driving round in that.
I was looking more closely at a transit custom Limited and realised how good it looks, in terms of equipment, cab storage, integral ladders, payload etc
So, what do you think?
-
It's a great piece of kit. I've got a 650 fitted tank, GrippaMax.
Drives like a car. Can't knock anything about it really. Fuel could be a bit better but I was used to a Combo beforehand which knocked out over 40 to the gallon.
I keep a two stage ladder in the back for garages etc. also have a fold-down roof rack, which are pricey but great for when you don't need the rack; which we use for the triple stage gutter work we do.
I'd highly recommend.

I've got an astra van at the mo but 350 Ltr tank is limiting, space at a premium and 3 seats would be nice.
I thought I was defo going to go for a vivaro but am seriously considering the Transit now.
Thanks for the reply

I'm looking to fit roller guides near the back doors on a Transit custom, so wondered if anyone can tell me, is the spare wheel stored at the back underneath by the rear bumper?
-
Thats exactly where it is.

Cheers
Looks like I will have to store the wheel inside the van
-
Have you got a link to the roof rack Matt?
-
No Lee. It's a afford fitted rack so it's them you'd need to speak to.

If I want to bolt a tank frame to the floor, is there easy access underneath the Transit or is there a lot of faffing about?
