Ford Transit Models Explained
The Ford Transit is a household name. They’re primarily used as a commercial vehicle, designed for durability, logistics, and skilled trades. There are different models available depending on your needs, including:
- Transit Connect (compact/light duty) – ideal for small business deliveries, mobile services, and trades with minimal equipment.
- Transit Custom (mid-size, trades and fleets) – typical uses include trades with more equipment (plumbers, HVAC, painters), parts transport, etc.
- Full-size Ford Transit (maximum load and versatility) – great for large cargo, removal or moving services.
- Ford Transit Tippers and Dropsides – ideal for construction, landscaping, and transporting palletised goods.
Finance and Warranty Options
At Ideal Commercials, we offer comprehensive finance options for your Ford Transit van, perfect for sole traders, LTDs, and fleets. Our options are varied in order to suit every business requirement, including:
- Hire Purchase (HP) – hire purchase finance lets you spread the cost of your van over fixed monthly payments after paying an initial deposit. This is great for businesses that want to own their van at the end of the contract.
- Lease Purchase (LP) – similar to hire purchase, lease purchase finance offers a lower monthly payment with a larger payment at the end. At the end of the contract, you will own your Transit.
- Contact Hire (CH) – contact hire is more like renting a van long-term. You pay a fixed monthly amount for an agreed time and mileage, and then return the van at the end of your contract. This is great for businesses that want low monthly payments and want the flexibility to change vehicles.
We also offer extended warranty options for your used Transit Van, taking the pressure off should anything go wrong.
