The Ford Transit Custom is the best-selling commercial van in the UK – and for a good reason. Not only does this medium-sized van boast a stylish design, comfortable interior, and superb handling, but the Ford Transit Custom dimensions also give you one of the best payload ratings in the medium van sector.
Load capacity and ease of loading are two of the most important qualities to consider when purchasing a commercial van. To decide which van is the best fit for your needs, assess the custom load space dimensions.
The most important van dimensions to consider are:
- Size. The exterior dimensions of a van will determine how easy it will be to park and access narrow passageways
- Load Space. Impacts how much cargo you can fit into the van
- Payload. Determines how much cargo you can legally carry
- Fuel Economy. The size of a van will impact how much fuel is required to power it

What Are The Ford Transit Custom Dimensions?
Ford Transit Custom dimensions are given in four different sizes. The smallest size is the short wheelbase and standard roof height which is labelled L1H1. You can also purchase a high roof which is labelled L1H2.
The long-wheelbase gives you more loadspace and is labelled L2H1 for the standard roof and H2H2 for the high roof.
Most commercial van drivers stick to the standard H1 roof because they are easier to get into car parks and under low bridges. However, delivery drivers in the city may prefer a high rook so you can store more cargo. The dimensions can be enhanced with tailor-made Ford Transit custom racking.
