New 2024 Ford Transit Nugget Active

Ford has recently made a splash in the camper van market with the updated Transit Custom Nugget. Building on its legacy since 1986, Ford’s collaboration with Westfalia has resulted in a versatile vehicle designed for adventurous spirits. The latest addition, the Transit Custom Nugget Active, is a rugged trim level that expands on the existing Titanium model.

The Nugget Active is built to accommodate up to four people and features distinctive design elements like black plastic rocker panels, exterior cladding, and exclusive 17-inch machined wheels. Inside, the camper offers water-resistant seat fabric, along with the Smart Camper Touchscreen that allows control over lighting, heating, and water levels. An inclinometer is also included to ensure safe parking on uneven surfaces.

Ford has also introduced a longer-wheelbase version of the Transit Custom Nugget, which offers a larger kitchen with additional worktop space and storage, as well as a bigger wardrobe. Some configurations even include a built-in toilet for added convenience.

Powering the Nugget Active is a 2.0-liter EcoBlue diesel engine producing 168 horsepower, or a 2.5-liter plug-in hybrid setup generating 230 horsepower. Both options allow for towing up to 2.3 tons. The new models will debut at the Caravan Salon in Dusseldorf, Germany, with European orders now open.

I have unfortunately just taken delivery of one of these vans and it is the worst van I’ve ever had. Three weeks and it’s been back to the garage three times and not been able to fix it. The sat nav does not work it many places because the r deliver can’t pick up a signal. Some mornings it will not start and a message “vehicle blocked” is displayed for over ten minutes. It wants to try and do a software update most days. If I pressure wash the underneath the footwell is wet because of all the unfinished holes and seams underneath. In fact it’s not even seam sealed or painted underneath. Wiring connectors are exposed to the weather and in places such a wheel arches. The inner wheel arches don’t even fit properly. The seats have a label on them saying “low cost” which is terrible for a £50, 000 vehicle. Then there are all the driver safety distractions/hazards, sorry “aids” that pull the steering wheel to the side and apply the brakes when ever it encounters something like a side barrier on the road or a speed chicane. There are many more faults and most are ignored by ford or not able to be fixed.
