2018 MS-RT Ford Transit Custom review
The result is a van that looks sporty, while the interior delivers a level of comfort that would've been unheard of in a Transit not even five years ago. There are a variety of seat finishes on offer, but the part-leather and Alcantara trim of our test van was faultless, which is full credit to the in-house MS-RT team and its hand-finishing process. Also included is a new flat-bottomed steering wheel that's hand-stitched and feels meaty to hold.
As the MS-RT model is based on Limited spec, it gets a decent amount of kit, and the upgrades that Ford has added as part of the Custom's facelift give this version an even more upmarket feeling. Adding the Sync3 sat-nav infotainment system only adds to the premium feel, while choosing the Double Cab In-Van version in MS-RT spec makes the Transit Custom an intriguing alternative to a family SUV or MPV.
