2021 Ford Transit Custom review | Edd China's in-depth review | What Car? 

I’m not even in the market for a van just came here for Edd👍

Glad to see Edd is back on the tube His well known street cred will make him a really believable presenter

I have one, it is awesome, 170bhp, Sat Nav, Cruise, air-con, heated seats, heated windscreen, bi-xenon headlights, fold-down roof rack, rear camera and parking sensors all-round, USBs everywhere, lots of storage and it averages 45mpg, the best van I have ever had :-) :-)

Always good to see ed

Good ol Edd, he comes across as the sort of person that tells you what you need to hear not what you want to hear, what a lad 👍🏻👍🏻

Good to see you again Ed

Been running a short wheelbase high roof since 2015. As it's my own van I went for the most powerful and its quick. Easy to drive, very car like and so far been totally reliable

Its Ed China. I watched all of your previous shows many times. (Wheelers Dealers from the beginning to California.) Great to see you back as you have been missed by many fans here across the pond.

We need more of Ed. Keep up the great work

Epic to see Edd again!! I’ve missed you edd

You - "pitching cars". Him - "modding vehicles". Switch - A - Roo or Irony? No matter, you are (and ALWAYS have been) a wonderful presenter - making the complex comprehensible while turning sneers into laughter. Great job. I'm happy to see you back! Nice work - Thank you for sharing...

As an agency driver, usually driving lorries work can get a bit lean this time of year. But my agency are amazing & always strive to give reliable drivers some form of work. So over the Xmas / New year period I was allocated work at a popular van rental company, mainly collecting vans that had been hired by the Royal mail & Parcelforce. These were all newish 2019 plate vans, all less than 5000 miles - the damage on them was horrific ! Our team of 3/4 picked up over 60 vans, & only one had no damage, some were so bad, they would be illegal to drive. The cabs, for the main part were disgusting, - food, drink, clothing & general mess all left behind, (however I did gain 38 pence & 3 lighters) So in the past 10 days, having driven most new model vans, my conclusions are : Sprinter - Good van, Solid, but seems a bit dated. Transit- Always been a favourite of mine, overall best for value & practicability. Crafter - Pulls like a train, basic cab, a workhorse. Boxer - who the hell thought putting the handbrake to the right of the drivers seat was a good idea ? - when fully raised it will do it's best to sodomise you whilst exiting the cab, other than that - feels OK, but think it may have many things malfunctioning shortly after purchase. And now, my absolute favourite, - the VW Transporter, Solid, well made, fast, comfy, an absolute pleasure to drive. Now the downside - the model I was driving costs around £38,000 - it was nice - but not that nice.

Good to see Ed. Missed ya.

Never been much of a van man but I love transits and I love the new shape with the sport pack get it remapped with more power and it's a no brainer it so good looking

Great too see Edd China . 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 great review .

Still the king of the hill ,that phev sounds good ,nice one edd👍

I love the fact, that at last someone start making vans, what looks like just great cars, not only "machine for work".

My work have Transit Custom Base trim LWB 2.2 6 speed and Sport SWB 2.2 6 speed. Both lovely van. My current work van is that Basic LWB. It have LED rear lights in cargo, reverse camera, electronic windows and mirrors, brilliant van. Love it!

Yep I’m with golfman, but I must admit. I would definitely go for the new Transit Sport in a heartbeat 💓 though at the moment I don’t a van at all, but would go for this one. It’s great to see you back on RU-vid Edd. 💋

Edd! More Edd hosted videos please!

Great to see Ed ! Am subscribed!!

Owned the custom for over an year now ,done about 25k on it ,good ford warranty just change the oil way sooner they tell you to do so,the engine is very powerful the gearbox is smooth . Wouldn't choose another van , I am very satisfied with my choice

Love it i got the chrome blue sport and am well proud when i pull on site i look good in it as well🔨🤣

Great review Ed. I’m actually looking at buy one so I was very interested in your opinion. I thought you guys were metric now. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

Good vid Edd. I love my custom 14 plate

I really come to understand a pick up truck is sooo redundant when this vehicle showed in a local Ford dealership, a van is far more useful than a pick up truck.

Quanto tempo Ed China, parabéns pelo seu novo programa.

More edd please guys a legend 👍

Love that guy Thx for the tips man

I have a facelift limited. We have new transporters in our fleet too. The custom is very bouncy compared and the transporter feels and hold the road much firmer.

A transit driver only needs to know, how fast it goes and how good it is to tailgate in.

Its just the security that's crap. Good review Edd

I just bought the transit sport 340 and its awesome. I can’t recommend it enough

welcome back edd

Edds back. Nice one

The hire van versions are much faster.

Love you Ed!

Thank God these Transits came Stateside. I love my ‘15 Transit Connect.

Wow! Far different than the Transits I'm accustomed to In Canada. 8pass with the 310hp Ecoboost V6 which makes our version of this van a monster by comparison! Yes...it is for it's class.

Edd is not dead, long live the king....

Get live streaming Ed so we can watch ya mechanical skills again mate

Are you covering the medium van market? Will we see Edd in a PSA group van any time soon?

Thank you just what I wanted to here👌😎

Love Edd china top mechanic and decent bloke

great video thanks🤩😍

Wow! Eds got his tools back!

Thanks for this Edd. What bhp would be best for towing a 1800 kg caravan? Thanks in advance.

I would love to have a Transit Custom in USA it is only the small transit connect or the big transit. The custom looks super the right size ( not to small or to big) just the right size

Not enough information on the PHEV but still a good video.

Will be getting one of the base models soon as my new fleet van. My transit connect with only 49k miles is ready for the scrap heap already. Fault after fault with the ECU and DPF. Hopefully the Custom is better 🤞

If the would sort out the security issues and injector problems they would be an awesome van.

Great work Edd 👍🏻 More Edd, please 🙂

I drove a limited version with the 130bhp engine and it was absolutely amazing to drive for a van. The gear change, throttle response and steering were amazing. Shame I had to go back to a Renault Master afterwards :(

Hi Edd I would love to hear how you got a Ford Custom 2019 with Fords 180 degree rear view camera? Its in your video-review of the car but no dealer in UK or DK (my location) sell it with that.

How did you get on with the pedals all being different heights, Mine gives me ankle aches in stop start traffic going from the throttle to the brake all the time. Dead comfy on the motorway trips though

My new custom's engine blew up 7 weeks after 3 year warranty expired (36kmiles). Ford told me to F off. Great van 👍

Love Edd China ❤

nice one Edd

My employers just taken on 2. Hated Ford before but these are lovely. Bit bouncy and fuel needle starts to head south after what seems very few miles. Comfortable, pokey, quiet. Sound system isnt as good as out 59 plate T5. Speakers are harsh at higher volumes.

The Edd-Master 👍🏾

Great review. Cheers Edd. Enjoyed. Much better without that Brewer fella!!

good one edd

Give us a your view about a ford van,as a camper van,as Im thing of buying a camper van and not knowing which van is best.

Does it still have the engine issue?

Posts inside side doors are completely crazy idea. Hide view and during rain water stay in front section of side windows

I liked video for Edd China

Where's the reveiw? This is an infomercial.

I bought mine from new 2016 (66plate) now has 35k miles 2 faulty injectors at delivery mileage 200ish pulling away is tricky clutch has a mind of its own Idler pully had to be replaced due to excessive noise hill start works when it feels like it horn sounds 3/10 times when you lock the van (doors all shut) 1 rear parking sensor failed wipers go on when they feel like it indicators repeat quickly sometimes as if there was a fault/earth fault Power and torque is not consistent under 3k rpm i took it to a dyno to prove this over 3k power and torque are consistent Ford dealers are useless they rely on computer diagnosis for warranty repairs, "technicians" are not interested in looking into a fault if the computer cannot find it. it has been to 3 dealerships for the above issues and some are still not fixed approx. 20-25 times Interior is nice and the heated seats are great, parking sensors helpful and dab radio is good To sum up I would never recommend a transit custom to anybody and I hate driving it around the town, motorway driving is decent.

Nice looking transit I have 2015 2.2 tdci limited from new still drives good even with 228.000 miles 👍

Best vans out there. I’ve got that shape limited. L1 h2 manual 130ps. 32mpg after a year. Not great

Ford just issued a recall for those that had auto start feature; seems the pressurized transmission start assist can leak oil onto the catalytic converter and start a fire. Goood job, Ford.

im wanting a transporter to covert into a camper but tempted to buy one of these to convert. Only issue i have is resale the transporter doesnt lose value and i think this custom will do

What's your thoughts Ed on these 2.0 engines with the wetbelts instead of a timing chain, there seems to be a lot of problems with them snapping 😳 🤔

Awesome vlog ❤

I have a 2017 model which I've owned since new and still liking it. Appreciate the good fuel consumption, great turning circle and features which would come as extras otherwise. Also, I would be in a permanent state of cringe if I had to drive around in any vehicle with those 'racing stripes'. Why are the rear windows on that van blocked out?

Too bad can't get that in the States. Nice looking Van.

Ed still kicking himself

i would love to see a review of the Ford Transit Courier but i dont think he would fit. lol

The new VW Transporter T6.1 is now available to order. Can you do a review on it please?

Yeah more edd china please

I had previous transit for a while, really good van, handling is excellent

Jesus how tall is edd ! He makes the transit look like a mini countryman

Can you still break into it with a can opener?

And have they fixed the problem of being so easy to break into?

We miss seeing you and your Mecanical work. Nice too see you again

transits are number 1 for me as i have a mk6 gary from crewe

Here in U.S.A. the Transit is a relatively new replacement for the Econoline series and I personally have found them to be rather top heavy especially the extended roof version. So much so that highway driving is a white knuckle experience.

Edd you should have drove it in the wet with a load in and you may have changed your mind..... the all new Ford sledge!!

This would be perfect for my new window cleaning van .... should I or shouldn’t I 👍

Edd you forgot to mention you get a free welder with your transit you will need it unlike the transporter you keep mentioning

It needs to be a lot wider than previous versions because I used to be a tree surgeon with 2 other colleagues in the same van and they were not able to get completely comfortable especially for the middle seated passenger. If you can fix this then I’ll honestly say that you can not do better than a Ford Transit.

Lovely Jubbly Edd.

As always, from End you get no BS. What about a test on the latest VW Transporter?

being a rather tall guy myself, I'm surpised Edd didn't comment on its cramped cabin space.

What’s the difference between the Ford Transit Custom SWB variants, e.g. L1 260, 280, 290, 300, 310, 320, 340?

Looking a bit cramped in there Edd, how tall are you?

Why did they not put edd in top gear?

Watch out for the ones with inboard brake discs.

does it rot like the rest of them ? or will time tell

I love u edd. Again come to from Turkey.
