New Van for Riverside Living

author: FutureCar Staff    

Ford is preparing to release the renewed version of the popular van, the 2024 Ford Transit Custom Nugget. This camper van offers a fun and adventurous alternative to crossovers and SUVs. With the rise of remote work and the desire to travel before potential movement restrictions, camper vans have become increasingly popular. They allow drivers and passengers to enjoy the freedom of the open road while also reducing accommodation costs. Additionally, camper vans provide a peaceful and secluded environment, perfect for enjoying the tranquility of nature.

A video shared by Ford Pro CEO Ted Cannis on social media gives us a sneak peek at the new vehicle. The video reveals an elevating pop-top roof, providing additional space and comfort. The camper van features a window in the tent, allowing for fresh air and a connection to the surrounding environment. There is also a shower head that doubles as a sink faucet, making it convenient for travelers who prefer not to stay at traditional resting places. Inside the vehicle, there is a kitchenette for preparing meals and ample storage space for camping essentials.

So how can we be sure that this teaser is for the 2024 Ford Transit Custom Nugget? There are a few clues. Firstly, Ford's Ted Cannis mentioned to "Get ready for an outdoor adventure," hinting at the camper van's purpose. Secondly, considering the timing, Ford introduced the 2022 Ford Transit Custom Nugget two years ago, and the official unveiling took place at the end of August. In 2019, Ford collaborated with Westfalia to create a light commercial vehicle aimed at self-sufficient travelers. Lastly, there are subtle coincidences, such as Volkswagen recently revealing their upcoming California camper van, which will feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Ford and Volkswagen have entered into a partnership to cater to the adventurous lifestyle market segment.

Customers now have the choice between Volkswagen's California and Ford's Transit Custom Nugget. The 2024 Ford Transit Custom Nugget will be unveiled on August 24, 2023, with Volkswagen's California following shortly after. It remains to be seen which camper van will be more appealing to customers, but one thing is for sure – the camper van market is expanding, offering more options for those seeking a comfortable and adventurous travel experience.
