"The 2020 Ford Transit Custom 320 L1 H1 with the 2.0 EcoBlue 170 PS diesel engine in Limited trim offers a strong blend of commercial practicality and refined driving comforts. Under the bonnet sits a 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel rated at around 170 PS, producing approximately 390 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm. With the 320 designation indicating the higher gross vehicle weight (3,200 kg), this van is geared for heavier loads and tougher commercial duty. Dimensionally, the L1 wheelbase (the shorter length) helps with manoeuvrability in tighter urban settings, while the H1 roof height keeps overall height lower for access into standard garages. For example one spec sheet shows length around 4,973 mm, width approx. 1,986 mm (excluding mirrors) and a height of around 2,366 mm. The load space remains generous and usable for many trades. In Limited trim you get a step up in comfort and features compared to base work vans � expect body-coloured bumpers, larger alloy wheels, upgraded infotainment, and better driver assist tech. The van supports modern fleet-use with Euro 6 compliance. Typical fuel economy for this engine and body is in the 30-35 mpg range (combined) in real-world use. The towing capability remains strong too (typically up to around 2,500 kg braked). Reliability will depend on service history, especially given the heavier duty spec and higher GVW rating. Overall, this Transit Custom offers a very capable commercial vehicle option for businesses needing a potent diesel van in a relatively compact footprint but with serious payload potential."
