Transit Courier Van 2024

Ford Transits don't come much smaller than the Courier model. But, it makes up for a lack of size in practicality, affordability, and panache.

This Ford Transit Courier van review contains information about the bold new features, the redesign, and the all-important specifications and technical data.

Are Transit Couriers Reliable for Industry?

It's true to say the regular Transit vans are some of the most reliable and best-performing commercial vehicles in the United Kingdom.

The versatility of the all-new Ford Transit Courier series is apparent in four improved variants:

Leader (essential tools are standard)
Trend (extra levels of comfort)
Limited (additional refinements and sophistication)
Active (enhanced styling and accessories)

Pro Tip: Ford's full range includes a broad choice of bodystyles, drive options, and engine sizes. Plus, the all-new Ford E-Transit Courier becomes available from 2025.

Transit Courier Load Space

It's a small van. But, there's no shortage of loading space, and access is easy. So, if you're looking for a compact panel van for transporting cargo around the country, Ford® van models have several medium size covered trucks made for tradespeople.

Based on the quantity of accessories and its configuration, the Courier has a maximum loadspace (cargo and load capacity) of twenty nine (29) cubic metres with LED load compartment lamps.

Likewise, the maximum payload of 845 kilograms is limited by the weight and weight distribution of the cargo and load capacity.

Cargo Area Technical Data

1.8 metres long
1.22 metres width between the wheel arches (reengineered to handle two Euro pallets at floor level)
1.25 metres high

Using the optional hatch to extend the load-through bulkhead storage means you can get up to 2.6 metres (8.5 feet) in total length for those awkward items (e.g. ladders, plastic pipes, wooden planks).

You get to choose from a range of powertrains, including diesel, petrol, and the advanced EV version. Let's break that down a little further:
