Floor-mounted tie-down lashing points are also fitted as standard, while neat options include a fold-flat roof rack, which can carry up to kg but stows when not needed to reduce air resistance and improve fuel economy.
The Ford Transit Custom comes in four basic van sizes, divided between two body lengths and two body heights. It looks like this in pre facelift guise :. This results in a van that looks again, in pre facelift guise like this:. Both of the above are low-roof Transit Customs, labelled H1 in brochures and spec sheets.
The below is an example of a facelift high-roof Transit Custom, labelled H The vast majority of operators stick to the low-roof design - it's easier to get into car parks, and still offers a load volume of up to 6.
But the high-roof model unsurprisingly has a great deal more headroom in the load space, so if you regularly need to access items in the rear of the van - such as parcels for delivery - you may find the taller version more user-friendly. All the above figures are for the facelift model, but this is the same width while the length is only 1mm greater than the original.
The exact height varies with fitted equipment and payload, hence the range of figures. While working on my own panel van conversion, I found it's quite difficult to find specific dimensions. That's why I summarized them on this page.
This page will be helpful when you're converting a van into a camper van, or when you're planning the layout for your new corporate van. The Transit is a light commercial vehicle and one of the oldest panel vans around.

As such there are numerous conversion options if you need something more specific — we have a review of a Luton body Transit on the main review page — and in July Ford added a so-called skeletal chassis cab variant as well below. This uses a more minimalist rear structure with an open-backed cab area and comes on the FWD platform only, delivering a kg weight saving over the conventional chassis cab and a load floor height that is up to mm lower.
These include internal and external roof racks, roof base carriers supporting up to kg , roof access ladders, and a variety of interior load restraint systems including load space dividers, cargo nets and retention packs with side lashing rails.
Both the conventional Ford Transit panel van and the Ford Transit DCiV are available in every body size, though obviously the former has more load space as it has fewer seats. As is typical for vans these days, Ford has given the bodylengths L numbers and the bodyheights H numbers — though neither of them start at one which is also pretty standard with large vans, if unkind to those who appreciate neatness and order.
Ford Transit height options are H2 and H3 — though the amount of load height inside also varies with drivetrain. With no need to make room for a rear differential, FWD models have lower loading floors and therefore greater ultimate capacity. These are the same for panel van and DCiV models — with the notable exception that the sliding side-door opening on DCiV models is 1,mm rather than the 1,mm you get with a panel van.
Here are the outside dimension for every panel van version of the Ford Transit updated June :.
