In terms of being simple to work on and indestructible, itās gotta be a smiley. I had the use of this one my mates Garage had as a local runaround, none-turbo. Not the fastest but did the job and a nice body to load. Mk7ās really pushed things forward and are a nice enough place to spend a day. The seats are much nicer than the T5 equivalent!

Transits are lovely things to sit in/drive/work out of. Mega comfortable, loads of storage space, brilliant bits of kit.
However, it is impossible to not look like a traveller in one.

Deffo agree there, I've said for as long as I've driven commercial motors the transit has always been the ones I can sit in comfortably on long journeys....not so with the mk8 as they aren't padded seats like the previous versions

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
always ran straight so was never an issue anyway Ollie - 7.5t for running about - 18tonner for anything bigger - hired in for even bigger loads (we won't count the ser.III from Cardiff - early 80,sThis is like turkeys voting for Christmas.
Except ths one is retired now and doesnāt have to deal with this problem now anyway
We wonāt less regulation surely not more??!!
)self weighing trucks'd reduce the need for policing and enable everyone to run straight/safe

I think okay in a van with correct colour, but a tipper transit does have a certain vibe. Itās why I went for a Movano when I bought one . First foray away from Ford .

Not sure where I saw it might be local Breedon quarry but they have lcd displays on all sides with their load weight displayed in foot high bright red letters. Certainly make enforcement easier
