Why hire the Ford Transit Custom Double Cab 5 & 6 seats?
The Ford Transit Custom Double Cab-in-Van is a versatile workhorse that blends passenger comfort with practical cargo capability. Designed with a full second row, it accommodates either five or six people, making it ideal for crews, families, or mixed-use operations—including both people and load-carrying.
Under the bonnet, you get a 2.0 litre EcoBlue diesel engine with a variety of outputs (110, 136, 150, and even 170 PS), depending on whether you choose manual or automatic.
The payload is substantial, with gross vehicle weights ranging from 3,000 to 3,200 kg, depending on spec.
The body is available in two lengths: L1 (short) and L2 (long), plus different roof heights. For example, the L1 double cab has an overall length of 4,972 mm, while the L2 stretches to 5,339 mm.
Inside, the load area is separated from the passenger compartment by a fixed full-height bulkhead, which enhances both safety and comfort.
There’s also a flat-floor design, which makes moving between the cab and load bay easier.
Entry is user-friendly: a lower step-in height helps when loading or getting in with gear, and there’s an option for power-operated side load doors, handy when your hands are full. Lighting in the load area is also well thought out thanks to built-in LEDs.
In terms of driving, despite its size, the Transit Custom remains quite manoeuvrable. According to reviews, the turning circle is comparable to larger SUVs, making it practical in both urban and site environments.
It also offers good towing capability—braked towing capacity is often up to 2,000–2,500 kg, depending on spec.
Overall, the Transit Custom Double Cab-in-Van is a smart pick when you need a multi-passenger vehicle that doesn’t compromise on cargo space. Whether for a work crew, a weekend team, or family-plus-kit transport, it’s a solid, flexible option.
