Ford built a Transit van that doubles as a tiny home that can sleep up to 4 people
The van was converted in partnership with Westfalia, the automaker’s “long-term motorhome specialist.”
It can sleep up to four people with its two double beds: one that folds out into the roof space, and one in the living area.
There are two roof options: adjustable tilt and fixed high.
The wood-effect flooring is practical and easy to clean, according to the automaker.
An auxiliary heating system keeps the van warm while parked at night.
“Innovative design and high-quality conversion work creates a (cozy) home-from-home,” the automaker said in a statement.
The kitchen includes a double-burner gas cooker, steel sink, and a 10.5-gallon refrigerator.
Water is supplied by an 11-gallon water tank.
The foldout table can fit five people. The forward-facing bench can seat three, while the driver and front passenger seats can swivel to face the rear. For outdoor dining, there’s also a foldout table with two chairs and a retractable awning.
The van includes rear privacy glass, second row flip-open windows, and a heated window for the tailgate.
It comes with Ford’s smart entertainment system, SYNC 3.
The van includes driver-assistance features, such as cross-traffic, pedestrian, and pre-collision alerts, a rear wide-view camera, and adaptive cruise control.
It’s powered by a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBlue engine.
Customers can pick between the 138-horsepower and 168-horsepower engines, each with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
There are external 230- and 240-volt charging ports that allow drivers to recharge their power supply when parked near a socket.
The long-wheelbase Nugget Plus is 14.4 inches longer than the standard.
The Plus comes with a built-in toilet and a foldaway sink, as well as more storage space and a standard high roof.
The nonconverted 2020 Transit Connect has a MSRP of $27,020.
