Ford Transit Custom campervan devours the great outdoors

author: FutureCar Staff    

The Ford Transit Custom is a versatile vehicle that can be transformed into a campervan. Ford has already introduced a camper version of the Transit Custom called the Transit Custom Nugget. While the Nugget is suitable for a peaceful weekend getaway, a new concept of the Transit Custom takes things to a whole new level.

Designed by German tuning house Loder1899, this modified Transit Custom is built to handle off-road adventures. It features a lift kit, 18-inch rims, and chunky 255/55 R18 tires, which raise the vehicle by 80mm. To accommodate the wider tires, plastic wheelarch extensions have been added.

The front end of the vehicle is equipped with a crash bar for extra protection, as well as two high-performance PIAA headlights. For additional lighting, there are eight spotlights mounted on the roof rack. The roof rack also carries essential expedition items such as an expandable roof-mount tent, jerrycan, and storage boxes. In case of emergencies, there is a full spare wheel, shovel, and ramps to help you get back on track.

Although this concept is not available for purchase yet, Loder1899 plans to revive its brand in 2024 with a similar version of the Apocalypse-ready Transit Custom. The parent company, delta4x4, specializes in off-road parts and accessories for various car models, including the Ford Ranger, Jeep Wrangler, Suzuki Jimny, and Tesla Model Y.

In addition to the off-road concept, Loder1899 is also working on a street-focused version of the Transit Custom. This version will feature a sharper body kit, a lower ride, and 20-inch wheels.

If you're planning to brave the great outdoors, these motorhomes offer great value for your money.
