DSCARS's video: 2024 Ford Transit Custom Nugget - Next Generation Camper Van

All-new platform makes the journey a pleasure Road trips often mean long days covering hundreds of kilometres, and the next-generation Nugget benefits from the improved technology, driving experience and design of the latest market-leading Transit and Tourneo Custom models. Ford has drawn heavily from the new Tourneo Custom’s luxurious cabin design, building in superior levels of craftsmanship and material quality to significantly increase comfort for occupants. In a first for the Nugget, Ford is introducing a PHEV powertrain, sharing technology with the Ford Kuga Plug-In Hybrid 3,4 – Europe’s top-selling PHEV in 2021 and 2022. 5 The all-new Nugget uses a 2.5-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with an 11.8 kWh (usable) battery and electric motor to deliver a combined output of 232 PS and pure-electric driving capability. An all-new chassis with independent rear suspension improves refinement and handling, while all-wheel drive models will be available to suit customers who use their camper vans to access wild areas for outdoor sports or who simply want more confidence leaving festival car parks. The stylish cockpit features a full digital cluster and large 13-inch touchscreen; finding a destination, staying entertained and keeping in touch is simple with Ford’s latest SYNC 4 software. 6 The system’s connected navigation, audio and communication features can be controlled via the touchscreen or natural voice control, and wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay phone integration are standard. 7 Special attention has been given to making the new Nugget safe and easy to drive, even for drivers more used to smaller cars. As well as a car-like driving position and new eight-speed automatic transmission option, Nugget features a suite of advanced driver assistance systems. 8 Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centring helps to reduce fatigue on long highway drives or in stop-start traffic, while Reverse Brake Assist and a 360-degree camera system support drivers when manoeuvring in tight spaces. Improving a unique camper concept Ford and Westfalia have significantly increased the level of quality and ergonomic features in the new model, completely redesigning the living space around the popular layout with separate zones for cooking, living and sleeping. This unique interior design means that even with two double beds set up, campers can move around the cabin, cook, or get in and out of the vehicle without disturbing each other. Transit Custom Nugget’s seating area is a safe and comfortable place to travel, and easily converts to a dining and sleeping area when parked up. Alongside optimised storage and high-quality materials, Ford has also packed in features including: • Heated driver and front passenger’s rotating captain’s chairs • Unique three-seat rear bench with optional heating enables five occupants to travel in comfort • New audio speakers and USB-C ports as standard for passengers on the rear bench An optimised kitchen with L-shaped layout makes cooking more pleasurable. A practical new drawer fridge makes accessing the contents easier and is large enough to take bottles upright. Combined with the new integrated hob and sink unit – now with standard hot water – the decluttered surface design offers 20 per cent more dedicated worktop space. Soft-close latches and pop-out handles protect children’s fingers and dampen noise while driving. The all-new Nugget features key design improvements over the previous model, including a flip-up mattress section to increase headroom in the kitchen while the upper bed is still in place, as well as a track-mounted rear bench with new controls for easier, one-handed adjustment. A rear-mounted hot/cold shower outlet is now standard, with optional tailgate privacy tent. The camping experience is further enhanced by all-new features including: • Tilt roof with new self-folding fabric to simplify lowering the roof • New integrated stowage locations for the standard outdoor table and chairs • Practical roller blackout blinds replace curtains for enhanced privacy and simpler operation A dedicated 7-inch colour touchscreen in the living area enables easy checks and control of the all-new Nugget’s heating, water levels, battery level and lighting. New functionality includes: • Control of sophisticated new LED interior lighting including customisable colour mood lighting • Inclinometer function to help levelling on uneven ground • Bluetooth-enabled app to turn a smartphone into a remote control for cabin features Music Credit: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Kochi by Lucjo https://soundcloud.com/lucjomusic Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/3q9SsAM Music promoted by Audio Library    • Kochi – Lucjo (No Copyright Music)   ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
