do you like adventure Then the Ford Transit Trail Camper is for you

Wild camping is forbidden in the Netherlands and we have no game at all. But such an off-road camper awakens the adventurer in us. We would like to travel around South America with this Ford Transit Trail Camper. #vanlife.

This is a Ford Transit, you can tell, but it’s now 9 inches taller on its wheels and fitted with Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain tires. The track width of the motorhome has grown by almost 7 centimetres.

Ford Transit Trail with big 3.5 liter V6

You can see by the power source under the hood that this camper is destined for the United States. No diesel or hybrid technology on the body of the Ford Transit Trail, just a turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The power source delivers 314 hp and 555 Nm.

A ten-speed automatic and all-wheel drive are standard. As a driver, you can choose from five driving modes: Normal, Eco, Mud, Tow and Slippery. The trail is available in two lengths and two heights. A 95 liter petrol tank is standard. Optionally even 120 liters.

Suitable for building a camper yourself

By the way, you buy the Camping Transit empty. Coachbuilders can turn it into a camper, but Ford also expects to sell many examples to do-it-yourselfers.

You can order various options that make the conversion easier, such as an additional battery, all kinds of power and USB connections and a fan in the roof. The Ford Transit Trail doesn’t come cheap. In America it starts at 67,770 dollars (more than 69,000 euros).
