Choose the Custom if...
The Transit Custom is the van most UK hire firms stock as their default medium van, and its L1/L2 length and 280/300/320 weight choices cover most trade and removals jobs without stepping up to a large van.
Figures shown for L1H1 and L2H1 front-wheel-drive diesel derivatives; an all-wheel-drive-badged 320 electric variant is also offered with a lower max trailer weight of 2300 kg.
Full specifications →Choose the Daily if...
The Daily's GVW range stretches to 7 tonnes, well beyond most van-class rivals, which makes it a common choice where a job needs more payload than a 3.5t van but a full truck licence is impractical for the driver.
Payload and volume figures vary by wheelbase (3.0-4.1m) and roof height (H1/H2/H3); derivatives above 3,500 kg GVW require a category C1 (or C, for the heaviest) driving licence.
