Trunk dimensions Ford Transit Custom

The 2013 Ford Tourneo Custom offers a flexible trunk, with volume varying depending on the configuration. With seats upright, the trunk space is about 35.3 cu ft, while folding the seats down can increase it up to 81.2 cu ft. The rear bench is typically arranged in a 2-1-2 layout, allowing versatile use.

The interior design is functional, with a high level of practicality and a low loading edge that facilitates loading and unloading.

Trunk dimensions can vary within the model range, with width and height designed to accommodate larger items. Typical features include a robust build and the ability to flexibly configure the seats to optimize space utilization.

Model Information

The Ford Tourneo Custom is a versatile van designed for families and commercial users. It seats up to nine people and combines functionality with modern design.

The latest series of the Tourneo Custom features improved interior appointments, advanced technologies, and efficient engines. Vehicle dimensions and cargo space are tailored to users seeking both comfort and practicality.

Variants of the Same Series

The Ford Tourneo Custom is offered in various variants differing in equipment and configuration. These include the Tourneo Custom as a wagon and the shuttle variant.

It is important not to confuse these models with other Ford models such as the Ford Transit or Ford Galaxy, as they serve different target groups and uses.

Yearly Differences

The Ford Tourneo Custom has undergone several model changes over the years affecting body and trunk dimensions. The most significant changes occurred in 2016 and 2020, when the model was revised in size and equipment.

These updates resulted in a larger interior and improved trunk volume, enhancing flexibility and comfort for users.

Direct Competition

In the same vehicle class, several models compete with the Ford Tourneo Custom, including the Volkswagen Transporter and the Mercedes-Benz Vito.

The Volkswagen Transporter offers similar trunk volume, while some Mercedes-Benz Vito variants may have a somewhat smaller trunk. Differences in trunk volume can vary depending on configuration and equipment, which potential buyers should consider when choosing.

More Affordable Alternatives

For buyers seeking more affordable alternatives with similar trunk dimensions, models like the Citroën Spacetourer or Peugeot Traveller are recommended.

These vehicles offer comparable cargo capacities but are often less expensive to purchase. Equipment and offered features may vary, so it is advisable to compare models before making a purchase decision.

Cargo space Ford Transit Custom

Trunk volume Ford Transit Custom

Trunk Volume

Manufacturer specification: 28.3 cu ft trunk volume. This is about 90.48% larger than an average car. Relative to the total vehicle volume (L×W×H/2), the trunk accounts for about 7.9% (≈ 1.5 percentage points above average).

With the rear bench folded down to roof height, the cargo space occupies about 57% of the vehicle volume (≈ 35.2 percentage points above average).

Measured values by seat configuration (from text fragments):

  • All seat rows installed: 23.1 cu ft (up to window sill height).
  • Third seat row removed: 73.1 cu ft (up to window sill height) / 110 cu ft (roof height).
  • Second and third seat rows removed: 120.1 cu ft (up to window sill height) / 187.5 cu ft (roof height).
  • Manufacturer specification for roof-high cargo space with folded rear bench: 204.8 cu ft.

Practical impact: The volume is outstanding for families, tradespeople, and transport-intensive use. Even fully occupied, 23.1 cu ft remain usable — practical for luggage on trips.

Removing seat rows creates a very large, partially roof-high cargo space that easily accommodates bulky items, furniture, or large amounts of luggage.

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

Exterior dimensions: 198.8 in long, 79.9 in wide, 78 in high. Compared to an average car, the Tourneo Custom is 19.3 in longer (≈10.7%), 7.1 in wider (≈9.8%), and 16.5 in taller (≈26.8%).

Parking comparison: According to the fact sheet, it is 2 in longer than a standard parking space but 18.5 in narrower (i.e., less lateral clearance).

Practical impact: The large dimensions create ample interior space but reduce maneuverability and parking ease in city centers, tight garages, and parking spots.

Plan for extra space when maneuvering and check garage/underground parking heights. The width complicates tight parking spots; increased caution or parking assistance is recommended when parking.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

Practical details:

  • Loading opening very wide and tall — good for bulky items.
  • Loading edge ≈ 22.4 in — pleasantly low, easing loading and unloading.
  • Removable seat rows: second and third rows are modular (single and double seats) and can be removed individually; removal creates a flat loading floor.
  • Seats are very heavy: single seat ≈ 34 kg, double seat ≈ 52 kg — installation and removal usually require two people and some effort.
  • No storage compartments or nets in the trunk; however, there are sturdy attachment hooks for tie-down straps.
  • Heavy, large tailgate — it can only be opened with increased effort and requires sufficient rear clearance.

Practical impact: The combination of a low loading edge, large opening, and flat loading floor makes the Tourneo excellent for transporting bulky loads, trade materials, or moves.

Downsides include the effort needed to remove heavy seats and the lack of integrated storage compartments — fixed tie-downs are possible, but fixed organizational solutions usually need to be added externally. The heavy tailgate requires extra space when parking behind vehicles or walls.

General Model Information

Reputation: The Ford Tourneo Custom is established as a spacious wagon/van for families, commercial use, and shuttle service. It combines passenger transport with high cargo space variability.

Special features: Very large trunk volume, modular removable seat rows, low loading edge, large loading opening, and robust tie-down options.

Characteristics: Heavy single/double seats (34 / 52 kg), heavy tailgate, sparse interior storage in the trunk — practical use requires physical effort for conversion and additional organizational equipment (nets, boxes, tie-down straps).

Price-performance assessment: For users needing lots of cargo space or flexible seat configuration (tradespeople, campers, large families), the Tourneo Custom offers very good space and a solid price-performance ratio.

Those frequently removing seats or storing many small items inside will face comfort and usability compromises.

Competitors: Mercedes Vito / V-Class, Volkswagen Transporter / Caravelle / Multivan, Renault Trafic / SpaceClass, Toyota Proace Verso — all compete in similar areas of variability, passenger transport, and cargo space.
