The Ford Transit Custom Nugget has become even smarter, more versatile and ready for electrified adventures. Get ready for a new era of camping, where every trip is a real adventure, full of comfort and technology! It's a Ford Nugget!
Camping has changed dramatically in recent years. And although many thought that it couldn't get better than the good old tents, Ford proved with its Ford Nugget that the future of camping is bright, electrified and full of smart solutions. This time, however, Ford brings us something more – an electrified model that will provide for even quieter and more ecological adventures.
When convenience meets smart technology
Let's start with the basics. Ford's new Ford Nugget brings the latest technology and an improved driving experience, all on an all-new platform shared with the Transit and Tourneo Custom models. What does it mean? Better connectivity, advanced assistance systems and even more comfort for long journeys. With the revised dashboard and flat floor, the transition from the driver's seat to the living area is even easier. Also, more space is now available in the Nugget, which ensures even greater comfort during travel.
ELECTRIFICATION – hybrid drives and a huge amount of stored batteries for "camping".
The most exciting news? Electrified drive! Ford introduced a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) for the first time in the Nugget, which combines a 2.5-liter gasoline engine and a battery with a usable capacity of 11.8 kWh. The total power of this system is an impressive 232 horsepower (PS), which allows quiet and environmentally friendly driving in campsites and cities. Whether it's long highway journeys or quiet urban exploration, the Nugget will ensure a carefree and comfortable journey with its electric mode of operation.
The comfort and luxury of several rooms
The interior of the Nugget has been completely renovated and optimized for maximum comfort. Ford worked with renowned camper conversion specialist Westfalia to create an interior that boasts separate living, kitchen and sleeping areas. There's a new, L-shaped kitchen with more work space and a handy fridge drawer big enough to fit a bottle of wine – because why not enjoy a glass of red in the middle of the woods?
The kitchen now also includes a new integrated stove and sink with hot water, making cooking even more enjoyable. For those who love the view, the option of an outdoor shower with a new built-in outlet for hot and cold water and an optional tent curtain will be a real hit.
Multi-flexible and suitable for everyday use
While beds have always been one of the key features of the Nugget, this time Ford went a step further. The upper bed now allows more headroom in the galley, allowing for easy cooking even when the bed is still extended. Also, the new bench seat, which is mounted on rails, can now allow for even easier space customization.
When it comes to the driving experience, the new Nugget brings a range of technological improvements, such as intelligent adaptive cruise control with lane keeping, a 360-degree camera and a reverse assist system. And let's not forget - for those who like to go on more challenging terrains, there will also be an all-wheel drive (AWD) model.
Technology hand in hand with nature
The new Nugget is not only smart and functional, but also technologically advanced. Ford has added a 13-inch touchscreen with SYNC 4, which allows easy control of navigation, music and communication. And because connectivity is key, the Nugget comes standard with a built-in 5G modem and wireless charging for smartphones.
And when it comes to autonomy, the new Nugget does not disappoint. The option of installing a solar roof allows you to charge the internal battery, giving you more time to enjoy nature. In addition, you can easily control the heating, water levels, battery charge and lighting via the color screen in the living area.
Certainly not cheap, but cheaper than the competition
While Ford has yet to release full pricing details for the various models, expect starting prices for the new-generation Nugget to be slightly higher than previous models. But with all the innovations it brings, every euro will be well spent. The current situation of a fully equipped model with 170 horsepower and active equipment costs approx 65,000 euros. The prices of the new models will be comparable and not excessively higher.
Conclusion: Ford's new Nugget is the perfect choice for all camping enthusiasts who want to experience adventure in maximum comfort. With its combination of advanced technology, comfort and electrified drive, this camper is truly something special. Let it take you on unforgettable adventures wherever you are!
