I'm looking to buy a Ford Transit Custom and was wondering what is the best type of transmission to get for optimal performance and durability? I've heard mixed opinions on manual vs. automatic, so I'm not sure which one to go for. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
ReplyHaving owned a Ford Transit Custom myself, I highly recommend going for the automatic transmission. It offers a smoother driving experience and in my opinion, is more reliable. Plus, with the Transit Custom being a commercial vehicle, the automatic transmission can handle heavy loads better than a manual.
I've always preferred manual transmissions for their better fuel efficiency and greater control over the vehicle. As long as you properly maintain it, a manual transmission can last just as long as an automatic. It really comes down to personal preference.
I would say go for the automatic transmission if this is going to be a work vehicle. It will save you the hassle of constantly shifting gears in traffic or on long journeys. And with proper maintenance, it can last just as long as a manual. I've had my Ford Transit Custom for 8 years now with no issues.
