Ford's European Teaser: A Potential Transit Custom Nugget Camper Van

Ford of Europe is set to unveil a new camper van on August 24, joining the company's lineup of new vans. The model is expected to embrace the popular "VanLife" trend and promises to make outdoor trips an unforgettable experience. While details are limited, teaser videos reveal that the camper van will feature a pop-up roof with a solar panel, providing enough room to stand inside the van. The interior seems to offer classy counters, a refrigerated drawer, zippered window coverings, and a rear touchscreen display for adjusting the color-changing lighting system. Additionally, there appears to be a sink and an external shower head or washer.

Although Ford has not confirmed the exact model, speculation suggests that it could be the redesigned Transit Custom Nugget. The timing aligns with the introduction of the redesigned van last September, and the rear quarter glass indicates a connection to the Transit Custom. The camper van variant is likely to debut at the Düsseldorf Caravan Salon later this week, where full details will be revealed. The Transit Custom is known for its range of powertrains, including EcoBlue diesels with outputs ranging from 108 hp to 168 hp, as well as plug-in hybrid and electric variants.
