2018 Ford Tourneo Custom
Last Updated:
Basically, the Tourneo fits between the larger Transit and the Transit Connect vans.
We don’t get the Tourneo here, and that’s really too bad.
The 2018 model is not all new.
But with a new front, revised interior, it still looks pretty modern.
I think this would be a great fit in the US between the $23 000 Connect and the $31 000 Transit.
(They sold over 46 000 Transit Connect vans last year, and over 143 000 units of the much larger Transit)
It looks like the perfect size for a Camping Van conversion.
Large enough to sleep in, and small enough to drive everywhere.
Isn't the Tourneo just a passenger van version of the Transit?
I'd take that with a turbo diesel 4
Stellar, the Tourneo is on a different, fwd platform. It's really like a Transit Connect MAX. I think it would be a great replacement for the Flex as Ford has failed at the "Un-minivan" game.
In Europe we used to have only Transit (which is now known as Transit/Tourneo Custom, competitor of VW Transporter/Mercedes Vito/V-class), and later , let's say in last generation there they introduced biggest Transit (competitor of VW Crafter/Mercedes Sprinter) and since 2002 there is Transit/Tourneo "Connect" series which competes VW Caddy/Mercedes Citan. Here we also have Transit/Tourneo Currier which competes Peugeot Bipper/Citroen Nemo/ Fiat Fiorino-Qubo and Dacia Dokker.
Basically Transit goes for rugged, working versions, while Tourneo is more "civilised"
