Now that we’ve covered the fundamentals of the new Ford Transit range, it’s time to take a look at some of the most popular models and what they bring to the table in 2025.
Ford Transit Courier Leader: Updated Technology Features
The new Ford Transit Courier Leader is a highly dependable workhorse that is ideally suited to local couriers, independent tradespeople, and those looking to expand their fleet with a second vehicle.
Updated features for 2025 include:
- Even better integration of Apple CarPlay for both call handling and entertainment on long drives — never miss a traffic update again

Ford has created an ultra-reliable compact Transit by combining a reliable foundation with a host of new developments.
Ford Transit Custom 2.0 EcoBlue: Increased Comfort & Safety
For those looking for a new Ford Transit with more space and carrying capacity than the Courier Leader, the new Custom 2.0 EcoBlue has everything covered. This highly manoeuvrable mid-size Transit is at home in both urban and rural settings, allowing you to travel widely for work without ever having to compromise when it comes to performance.
The focus for 2025 has been on increasing comfort and driver safety so that the Transit Custom 2.0 can go further and do more than ever before:
- The addition of extra storage solutions in the cabin makes organising paperwork and other essentials easier than ever before
- A new cabin design comes with ergonomic seating as standard, allowing you to fine-tune your driving position in a matter of seconds

Further upgrades to advanced safety and driver-assist technologies offer everything from better speed control to increased ease of parking.
Ford Transit Trend 350: Renewed Efficiency & Comfort
Another popular choice for businesses in 2025 is the new Ford Transit Trend 350 which has a renewed focus on combining reliability and efficiency with driver comfort.
New features to look out for in 2025 include:
- A whole new ergonomic cabin that combines enhanced driver comfort on long journeys with the very latest in infotainment

- Adaptive cruise control that reacts to the nature of the roads and optimises your Transit’s fuel efficiency to reduce running costs

It’s also worth noting that the reliable L3H2 configuration comes with an extended wheelbase so that you can carry larger, heavier cargo such as heavy-duty tools and equipment.
Ford Transit Dropside: Enhanced Manoeuvrability
Take one look at the new Ford Transit Dropside and you will notice that a single rear wheel setup offers enhanced manoeuvrability while simultaneously reducing the overall weight. The result is a spacious yet compact design that is as at home in tight urban settings as it is in challenging and unpredictable rural areas.
Key changes to look out for in 2025 include:
- A highly functional and comfortable cabin that has been optimised with fully adjustable ergonomic seating
- Refined intuitive controls for simple, stress-free operation on long drives or when navigating unfamiliar areas

The key is to weigh up carrying capacity and manoeuvrability with driver comfort and running costs. If you can balance these four things, you will find a new Ford Transit that allows you to tackle a busy working week while also providing plenty of room for future expansion as your business grows.
Add in the fact that the Ford Transit range is known across the industry for its reliability and low running costs and you will be able to invest in precisely what your business needs. Good news when you’re ready to take the next step by upgrading one of your most important assets.
