The 2024 Ford Transit Custom range of configurations is currently priced from $44,880.
Our most recent review of the 2024 Ford Transit Custom resulted in a score of 8.1 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: Although yet to be ANCAP-rated, the latest Transit Custom LWB offers numerous design features unmatched by the dominant HiAce LWB, along with higher load volume/payload/tow ratings and less frequent servicing. However, those attributes come at a much higher price than its Toyota rival, so only a potential buyer can decide if they’re worth the extra spend.

The 2024 Ford Transit Custom carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Ford Transit Custom is also known as Ford Tourneo Custom, Ford New Transit (China) in markets outside Australia.
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.

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.
