Unfortunately it’s a Custom, so no drifting :( https://www.ford.co.uk/vans-and-pickups ... stom/trail

Least their using a torsen rather than a clutch plate type.
That's what I would like for front of mine but as far as I can find they don't make an aftermarket one only an air or E-locker

They get lots of things, most of which you really wouldn't want.

What do ye think of the trail spec... looks nice but apart from the grill and lower body and wheels I'd really rate the leather seats with a single passenger

in america, probably standard on XLT model, they do base trim and XLT, the XLT ones are nice, i think all the transits in america at 2 fronts seats, don't think i've ever seen a double and a single like all in the uk

Yes the single passenger seat is a free change over the double bench seat. Might go for it as it's be nice to let it recline on a long shared drive

i wish they did the swb low roof mk8, rwd in the uk, if we want this size option in the uk, we have to have the custom with fwd, and they can have the v6 ecoboost twin turbo petrol 3.5 with 10 speed to give it lots of get up and go, although probably not as good on fuel as a 2.0 diesel,
