Ford has a longstanding tradition of creating vehicles that appeal to camper enthusiasts, and their latest update to the Transit Custom Nugget continues this legacy. The Nugget, originally developed by Westfalia in 1986, has now received a significant enhancement with the launch of the Transit Custom Nugget Active model.

This new trim level is tailored for those who enjoy the outdoors but want a bit of rugged style in their camper. The Active model differentiates itself with unique black plastic rocker panels, rugged exterior cladding, and exclusive 17-inch machined wheels. Inside, practicality shines through with water-resistant seat fabric, perfect for outdoor adventures. The cabin also features a Smart Camper Touchscreen, making it easy to control lighting, heating, and water systems with just a tap.
Ford has not only introduced the Active trim but also added a longer-wheelbase version for those who need more space. This extended version comes with an upgraded kitchen, extra worktop space, and increased storage capacity. Additionally, it offers the option for a built-in toilet, adding convenience for long trips or off-grid camping.

Under the hood, Ford offers two powertrain choices: a 168-horsepower EcoBlue diesel engine and a new plug-in hybrid system that generates 230 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid provides a powerful option while maintaining fuel efficiency, ideal for eco-conscious travelers. The Transit Custom Nugget also boasts a towing capacity of 2.3 tons, making it perfect for hauling gear or even a small trailer. In short, the updated Transit Custom Nugget Active is designed for adventurers who seek style, space, and power in their camper van. Whether hitting the road for a weekend getaway or embarking on a longer journey, this camper is ready to handle it all.
