Goodbye transit custom...hello T6

[t6stu]

Hi All

I've just signed on the dotted line to chuck my transit in for a 140 highline
On the test drive it felt so much better than my boaty ford.
Only thing that is going to bug me is the cargo area length not being able to fit in 3m pipe, the transit has an opening in the bulkhead to allow this. any idea apart from roof rack?

cheers

Take out the Bulkhead

Same as you I had a sport but this 140 t6 is much better . The gears are like my old trafics none of this changing down all the time . I am a plumber but went for a Kombi with one pasenger seat . I slide tube under the drivers seat but you will need to cut out the bulkhead . I also carry extra tube if needed between the seats as I have made a half bulkhead to rest the tube on. But the best bit is I have fitted my ford fold down roofrack .You are going to love the MPG I get 40 to 47 with the tools on board

Have you gone for the double front as this can have storage under the bases like the custom so you can just cut the bulkhead out and use that. Not sure if the storage is standard but someone on here will be able to answer that one .

That's good to hear as I loved my old vivaro and I nearly went for a custom sport instead of the t6.
Yes I have the double front seat and the one I test drove had storage under there so now I'm thinking maybe cut out a section a bit like the transit.

Well after waiting a few weeks for my white ex demo highline I was due to collect this weekend then to be told it's going to be another few weeks until I can have it, I've decided to pay a tiny bit more for a higher spec red highline 4 motion which I can collect this weekend! I'm actually excited now where I wasn't really about the white one. Can't wait

Yay another 4motion seems quite popular, can we do a poll and see @Pauly ?

Feel free, poll options are at the bottom when you create a thread

I don't even know the benifits of the 4wd apart from maybe helpful in the snow! Now I'm not even sure if it's a 140 or 150?

Not just ice and snow, had 4wd cars for a few years now, better traction whether it's just a greasy road, wet weather or leaves, moo poo etc.
I've a yeti which just has so much grip I can have huge amounts of fun on B roads without getting into trouble.

There's a 4 motion new one on my estate, black with bi colour sportline alloys, chrome side bars and LED lights, looks amazing

 

[t6stu]

How do I know if it's a 140 or 150? I could just wait until Saturday

More than a couple months old prob gonna be a 140, newer will be a 150
It will be on badge on the back, do you have a registration number or VIN
