The design of these vans is just going backwards! No engine improvement from known faults, no security improvements, No stay bars on the doors, grrrreat try standing next to that with your hands full in the wind! Looks like the steering wheel might come off when driving knowing Ford build quality. Vw is doomed
Same crappy old wet belt engine. Most fail by 60000 miles .and repaired or not they are normally of the road for weeks and weeks waiting for parts .utter crap
How much are they being paid for these rave reviews? Oil life drops to zero in 4500 miles . £ 300 for oil change & filter. 'Sorry sir, it's not reaching working temp'.....bollocks. Best features are gone....avoid!
Hey Roger - the diesel variant still has a wet belt, however this comes with 3 years/100,000 miles warranty. The 2.5L plug-in hybrid is not a wet belt, neither is the E-Transit Custom.
Wet belt……………all you dealers better be ready for serious returns…….. ( for all you sales people who don’t even drive these vans) need to be ready🥶, I’ve been driving ford vans for 40+years with no real problems (160,000) miles so far on my 2018 connect with no break downs and still has ORIGINALLY rear break discs and uses NO engine oil ………….
Loud rattling engine, nice shifts but knocking, sticky clutch at times, leaky seals, no plastics over rear wheel, showing wirings... I'm afraid I made a bad choice.
Hey - I think they'd struggle to fit them in that blank section. This entire unit is also transferred over to the Tourneo Custom and there are a few extra button in there - but not climate control. With the fixed climate controls along the base of the touch screen it does make for easy access and adjustment 🫡
Hi, have watched a lot of reviews on the new van and this has been the most informative, thanks!. wish still had option of physical dials for fan/heating etc on all new vehicles v having to touch screens, seems less efficient and less safe as have to take eyes off road to look at screen.
I’m afraid once van drivers get a taste of creature comforts there is no going back these vans were always reasonably priced to repair and will happily do 10 years hard graft if maintained !
Well, looking at the comments previous to your comment on wet belts I would presume that is indeed the case. How I managed to deduce this as being the case was by reading the previous comments above yours. Wet Belt it is then, I presume...!
We were pretty impressed with the finished inside the cab - only the lower sections are the normal 'scratchy' plastics, but makes sense on the lower sections in utility vehicles.
