Ford Transit Crew Cabs

Choosing a Ford Dual-Purpose Crew Cab Van or Pickup

Extended, double, and crew cabs offer a combination of passenger transit and cargo space. In the UK, a good deal of transit vans and double cab pickups are considered dual-purpose vehicles if they meet certain criteria. You can find numerous makes and models that will conform to your business's needs and requirements on eBay.

Differences between extended, double, and crew cabs

The main difference between the three types of cabs has to do with space. An extended cab has two rows of seats and two doors. Most extended cabs are designed for personal use.

A double cab has two rows of seats, but it also has four doors. Passengers can enter and exit the vehicle without disturbing the driver. This is useful when dropping off goods or ferrying workers to and from sites.

Models such as transit connect and the Ford transit custom double cab van are for sale and offer side sliding doors and other options. Models like the Ford Ranger are useful for hauling loads, while chassis cab models are adaptable for a range of uses.

Finally, a crew cab is another name for a double cab. Also, a crew cab is usually designed for increased weight loads and additional passengers, with some crew cabs like the Ford transit crew van offering up to six passenger seats and removable seat rows.

What to look for in a crew cab

Like most used dual-purpose vehicles, used Ford transit custom crew cab vans for sale have some wear. If you are a new business owner and you are looking for quick transportation and load shipment solutions, you can find models that are well-equipped to handle basic needs.

Before making your purchase, consider the following:

  • Ask for maintenance records,

  • Be wary of odd tread wear patterns on tyres.
  • Ensure that the height specifications fit your storage area's overhead space.
  • Check for seat tearing and stripped floor grooves and braces for rear passenger rows.
