Winter always has a way of testing vehicles, with cold starts, wet roads, early mornings, late finishes, and everything in between. It’s the season where you quickly see the difference between something built for looks and something built to handle real life.
The Ford Transit Custom MS-RT and Ranger MS-RT sit firmly in the second camp. They’re designed to perform year-round, but winter is where they really show what they’re made of.
Confidence When The Weather Turns
It doesn’t matter whether it’s frost, rain, or the occasional British snowfall, winter roads demand grip, consistency, and control. Both MS-RT models are engineered with exactly that in mind.
The Transit Custom MS-RT delivers a planted, stable drive thanks to its independent rear suspension and balanced weight distribution. It feels reassuringly confident, even when the temperature drops. The Ranger MS-RT, with its commanding stance and robust chassis, brings purposeful capability to tougher driving conditions, giving drivers that sense of “I’ve got this” that winter often tries to unsettle.
Visibility That Makes A Difference
Low sun, long nights, and unpredictable weather can make winter driving harder than it should be. MS-RT lighting is designed to work for the season, not against it.
The sharp, distinctive headlight units and signature rear light designs give exceptional visibility and presence on the road. You’re not driving blind, you’re driving confidently.
Comfort That Works As Hard As You Do
Winter driving isn’t just about the road, it’s about how the cabin feels when it’s cold outside. This is where the MS-RT interior earns its keep.
Both models offer heated front seats, supportive eco-leather and suede sports seating, and that unmistakable MS-RT finish: blue stitching, a motorsport-inspired steering wheel, and a cockpit designed to feel more “driver’s car” than “commercial cab.”
On long winter days, that matters.
Electric Doesn’t Mean Compromising On Confidence
For drivers considering the all-electric Ford Transit Custom MS-RT, winter can raise a few questions. But the electric model is every bit as confident in cold conditions.
With instant torque, predictable delivery of power, and smooth control, it’s a winter-ready setup that surprises a lot of people. Add in regenerative braking and a stable rear-wheel-drive layout, and you get an EV that feels composed when the weather is anything but.
And, of course, there’s no engine to warm up – just press, go, and heat the cabin instantly.
Built To Perform, Whatever The Season
Winter driving will always come with challenges, but the MS-RT range is built to take them in stride.
It’s capability backed by real engineering and wrapped in styling that refuses to blend into the grey winter backdrop. If you’re looking for a van or pickup that shows up all year round, the Ford Transit Custom MS-RT and Ranger MS-RT are built for exactly that.
