Rob Fraser

Ford Transit Custom Sport and Transit Custom Sport Double Cab standard features confirmed for Australia

July 2024 update 

Full specifications for the Ford Transit Custom Sport and Transit Custom Sport Double Cab have been confirmed ahead of their local arrivals later this year.
Manufacturer List Pricing (MLP) for the Transit Custom Sport starts at $59,990 with the Transit Custom Sport Double Cab priced from $62,990.

Transit Custom line-up

Returning to the Transit Custom line-up, the Sport brings with it a number of eye-catching exterior changes, including a distinctive body kit, 17” alloy wheels and the signature Sport dual racing stripes that provide a unique offering in the market, ensuring customers stand out from the typical ‘white van’ crowd.

Moving inside, customers will notice the premium and sportier appearance due to the sports seat trim with blue accent stripes and premium piano black trim surrounding the multi-function display. Additional comfort is provided by the heated, 10-way power driver’s seat including power lumbar adjustment and dual armrests. Drivers and passengers will also appreciate the dual-zone climate control and closeable upper glovebox with dual USB-C charging ports.

“The addition of the Transit Custom Sport and Transit Custom Sport Double Cab strengthens our van line-up to one of the strongest in the country,” says Tony Jordan, Ford Australia Product and Retail Marketing Manager.

“It doesn’t matter if you are a sole trader looking to stand out from the crowd, or a larger business wanting a vehicle that can transport crew and equipment in equal measure, Ford has a breadth of commercial vehicles to suit all needs, with legendary capability to match.”

Ford Transit April 2024 update

Ford Transit boosts towing capacity, adds new tech and customization options in latest lineup. The legendary Ford Transit has been upgraded with infotainment and Driver Assist Technology, adding to its practicality and cargo-carrying smarts.

Upgrades for the world’s best-selling cargo van will be available for all MY2024.75 models and are designed to help businesses do more with their vehicles, and optimise their operations.

The headline change is an increase to the maximum braked towing capacity and Gross Combined Mass (GCM) for all load-hauling models (bar E-Transit), along with minor increases to payload figures.

The 350L FWD Transit now has a maximum braked towing capacity1 of 2750kg, and GCM of 6000kg, an increase of 950kg and 1750kg respectively. Meanwhile, 350L RWD models now boast 3500kg of maximum braked towing capacity1, and a 7000kg GCM, increases of 750kg and 900kg compared to the outgoing models.

Dual-wheel 430E Transits in both van and cab-chassis bodies now also have 3500kg towing1 and 7000kg GCM, up 1100kg and 900kg on the current models.

Ford Transit Interior updates

Inside the cabin drivers will now be able to appreciate a new 8-inch semi-digital cluster, providing a modern and sleek cockpit design that allows for quick access to important vehicle data. Additionally, previously exclusive to the E-Transit, all single rear-wheel variants now come equipped with an electronic park brake, freeing up cabin space which saves time for delivery drivers who frequently enter and exit their vehicles.

Further adding to the convenience for drivers, all MY2024.75 models have Push Button Start allowing drivers to simply hop in and put their key back in their pocket or favourite cabin storage location.

Technology

All Transit variants also gain a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, with the standard feature providing peace of mind while on the road. All Van and Bus models now have a 360 Degree Camera system to make parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces easier than ever. By providing a bird’s-eye view on the SYNC screen, drivers can navigate challenging spaces with confidence. Cab chassis versions of the updated Transit now feature front fog lamps and front parking sensors, adding to the already standard rear parking camera.

Ford’s commitment to providing businesses with the latest technology for business owners means the updated Transit is fitted with our latest 5G Embedded Modem, compatible with FordPass2, giving customers faster connectivity in 5G connected areas.

There are minor visual changes that identify the updated Transit, with new black badges and a simplified Blue Oval design demarcating the exterior design.

A new 8F57 eight-speed automatic transmission replaces the six-speed auto as standard for the front-drive 350L LWB Transit van, offering a smoother driving experience and enhanced efficiency. This transmission also moves from a traditional gear lever in favour of a more modern rotary gear selector, which adds to the cabin’s sense of space and ease of use.

2024 Transit range

The 2024 Transit range will include the following models:

Ford Transit Powertrains and Transmissions

The 2024.75MY Transit lineup offers a variety of powertrain options to suit customers’ needs.

The 2.0L EcoBlue Diesel, with 121kW of power and 390Nm of torque, paired with the 10R80 automatic transmission, is available for rear-wheel drive models.
