Ford Reviews

When it comes to serving up acres of space for passengers and stuff, there isn't an SUV on the planet that can keep up with a van. But is Ford's Transit Custom too work focused to really cut is as a people mover? We put it to the family test to find out.

There's an old saying that if you want to become really good at something, then just keep doing it. That certainly applies to Ford and its iconic Transit van, which following its launch in 1965 has evolved through four generations, an expanded choice of variants and total production of around 10 million units.

The Ford Ranger recipe for success appears to include a lot of special edition ingredients - like this, the new 2020 Ford Ranger FX4, which is a gap-filler that slots between XLT and Wildtrak variants.

Have you ever looked at a Mustang GT, what with its 5.0-litre V8 churning out 339kW and 556Nm, and thought to yourself, 'yeah, it’s ok. But it could use more grunt'? The 2020 Mustang R-Spec is the supercharged super 'Stang you've been waiting for...

Ford is a making a habit of providing answers to questions that have not been asked. First there was the Baja-inspired Ranger Raptor, a unique version of Australia’s favourite Ford ute with pumped-out guards, a tougher frame and sublime long-travel suspension inspired by ‘pre-runner’ pick-ups used by US off-road race teams.Although we weren’t aware of any pent-up public demand for such a vehicle, regular sightings of Raptors these days suggest Ford’s ‘build it and they will come’ approach was the right one. Now just about every ute manufacturer is offering (or working on) a more specialised premium-priced variant of its top-shelf model in trying to match it.The blue oval is using this bold strategy again with the Transit Custom Sport. As its name suggests, this is a more athletic version of Ford’s mid-sized commercial van, which among numerous industry gongs claimed CarsGuide's 2019 Tradie Car of the Year award.Most folks think of vans as little more than shipping containers on wheels but, like the Raptor, Ford is again challenging the consumer to think outside the square (or rectangle in the case of a shipping container).After spending a week in Ford’s latest automotive thought-bubble, we have to admit it may be onto something here, too. From go-kart and motorcycle racers to surfers, scuba divers and personal trainers, the Transit Custom Sport may well have widespread appeal for those that need the practicality and load-carrying capacity of a van with a sportier image to go with it.

The Ford Ranger line-up has expanded to include a new limited-run Wildtrak X version, which adds a bit of extra kit over the standard Wildtrak. It looks the part, but how does it handle hard work?
