The 2017 Ford Transit Custom range of configurations is currently priced from $16,990.

Our most recent review of the 2017 Ford Transit Custom resulted in a score of 8.3 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: After our first drive in June we concluded the latest Transit Custom with EcoBlue engine and six-speed automatic had all the credentials needed to be a serious player in the 2.5-3.5 tonne van segment. After our GVM test, that conclusion hasn't changed. It's competitively priced, and well designed, with few faults. This van is worthy of serious consideration.

Ford Transit Custom 2017 FAQs

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.

Transit for touring Australia?

Go for the Transit. It has five-star safety with six airbags and you even get heated seats. Ford is also struggling to move them, so crunch a good deal.
