CarTell take
We haven't driven the Transit Custom yet. On paper, Ford has announced 2027.25MY price cuts of $3,900 on the PHEV and E-Transit Custom, with a larger E-Transit battery. That brings them to $63,990 to $66,390 (PHEV) and $73,990 to $76,390 (EV) before on-road costs, with the EV due from March 2027 and the PHEV from May 2027, so ask a dealer which build you are being quoted. Ford's own estimate for a Trend SWB is $63,989 drive-away (postcode 2000, business use). The Sport Double Cab crew van and the Tourneo are not covered here. Ford's genuine towbar is rated to 2,500 kg only.
Why consider it
- The choice of powertrains: diesel, plug-in hybrid, electric and AWD in one nameplate.
What to know
- Diesel prices start well above the outgoing model, and towing drops to 2,300 kg in the PHEV and EV.
Who it suits
Tradies and small business owners who want one van that can do site work, towing and city deliveries, and fleet buyers looking to electrify part of the fleet without changing van.
