Ford Transit Custom 2023+ Storage, Drawer & Bed Systems
Storage, drawer and bed systems for the 2023-onward Ford Transit Custom, fitted to the van's own mounting points with nothing cut or drilled. In a panel van, the Switch gives you a 180kg-rated drawer, a bulkhead and a full-width bed in one unit. In a Double Cab-in-Van, the Crew Cab Storage System gives you two tiers of drawer and load deck behind the cab bulkhead.
Which system for which Transit Custom?
| Your Transit Custom | System | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Panel van | Switch | Drawer and bulkhead for work. The bed stands on its own legs when you want to sleep in it |
| Panel van with second-row Tourneo seats fitted (aftermarket kombi) | Switch | Works like a VW Kombi: bulkhead with the seats up, flat bed over them when they're folded |
| Double Cab-in-Van (crew cab) | Crew Cab Storage System | Two-tier drawer and load deck behind the factory bulkhead |
| Ford's factory Transit Custom Kombi | Not compatible | A multi-row passenger layout, much closer to a Tourneo than a VW Kombi |
| Tourneo Custom | Not compatible | Our systems don't fit the Tourneo |
Turning a Transit Custom into a kombi
Ford doesn't build a Transit Custom with a single second row that folds flat for a bed, the way the VW Kombi does. The Double Cab-in-Van has a fixed bulkhead behind the rear seats, so even with it removed the seats don't fold flat.
What a lot of owners do instead is buy a second row of seats from a Tourneo Custom and fit it to a panel van, which gives the same layout as a VW Kombi. The Switch is built to work with that: with the seats up, it's a bulkhead with a full-extension drawer underneath, and with them folded, the bed runs flat over the top. It works with a second row only, not a third. Have any seat conversion done by a specialist with properly tested seat mountings, and tell your insurer.
What about Ford's own Transit Custom Kombi?
Confusingly, Ford does sell a vehicle called the Transit Custom Kombi. It's listed in Ford's van range, but its seating is a multi-row passenger layout (up to nine seats) that's much closer to a Tourneo Custom than to a VW Kombi. Our kombi bed systems don't fit it. If you want a Transit Custom that works like a VW Kombi with our bed, it's a panel van with aftermarket second-row seats.
The same platform as the new VW Transporter
The 2023+ Transit Custom and the new VW Transporter T7 are built on the same platform and share the same load-floor mounting points, so the Switch and the Crew Cab Storage System fit both. More on how the two vans compare in our post Is the new VW Transporter a Transit Custom?
Questions people ask
Does the Switch fit Ford's Transit Custom Kombi?
No. Ford's Kombi is a multi-row passenger layout, much closer to the Tourneo Custom, and our systems don't fit it. The Switch fits the panel van, including panel vans with an aftermarket second row of seats.
Does the Switch fit the Double Cab-in-Van?
It will physically fit, but the bulkhead behind the second row stops the seats folding flat, so you lose the bed. For a Double Cab-in-Van we recommend the Crew Cab Storage System instead.
Does it fit the Tourneo Custom?
No. Our systems are designed for the Transit Custom panel van and Double Cab-in-Van only.
Can I fit Tourneo seats to my panel van and use the Switch as a kombi bed?
Yes, that's a common setup. With a second row of Tourneo seats fitted, the Switch works as it does in a VW Kombi: bulkhead and drawer with the seats up, flat bed with them folded. It doesn't work with a third row. Send us details of your seat setup if you'd like us to check.
Does it fit short and long wheelbase?
Yes, both, with tailgate or barn doors.
Do I have to drill anything?
No. Everything fits to the van's existing mounting points. Removal takes about twenty minutes and leaves nothing behind, which matters on a lease or when you sell.
Can you fit it for me?
Yes. We fit it free at our workshop in Clevedon, near Bristol, in about an hour. Or we deliver it fully assembled on a pallet, ready to go in the van.
