Ford Transit Courier (14-23) capacity & size

4 out of 5 4.0

The Ford Transit Courier might be tiny in van terms, but it still offers twice the load volume of a small, car-based van, and greater load area than any direct rival, too.

Inside the cargo compartment there are DIN tie-down points on both sides and a bright LED load light.

Four bulkhead options are available: a mesh cage, a moulded full bulkhead, a full steel bulkhead and a full steel bulkhead with a window.

The mesh option has a hinged section and a flat-folding passenger seat, which means longer objects can be safely carried.

A sliding side door on the passenger side is standard on Trend, Limited and Sport models, with a second sliding door available as an option.

Roof rails are optional, too.
