Other Notable Features
The Ford team’s efforts go beyond mere cosmetic enhancements; they have introduced genuinely innovative technologies and features in this model that not only impress but also raise the bar for the competition.
Let’s take a closer look at these:
Delivery Assist
Automatically switches off the vehicle, locks up and closes all windows, and saves you time on every job!
Tilting Steering Wheel
Manually tilt the steering wheel and pull up the base holder to turn it into a laptop stand. Or if you want, flatten the steering wheel to make it into a stable dining table. Turn your van into a mobile office or canteen!
This feature is probably one of my favourites. It is, in fact, such a simple idea, but yet so ingenious that I’ve not seen it before.
Power Side Load Doors
This feature comes in particularly handy by reducing operator fatigue. Taking the strain out of loading and unloading by allowing the cargo door to open and close automatically.
An important point to emphasise is that the Ford Transit Custom reduces operator fatigue through various aspects of its design, and not solely on features like the sliding doors. Find out more by clicking on the link!
