Ford have announced that there'll be a new 4x4 Transit in the Autumn,­ but unlike Mk2 version ­ pictured above, it doesn't sound as though it's going to be particularly handy when the going gets really rough. Commenting on the long-awaited van, which will be offered with the 104hp version of the 2.4-litre TDCi engine, Ford sresses that it wil be known as "all-wheel drive" and not "four-wheel drive".
Apparently it "isn't designed for crossing a ploughed field, but is well suited for low friction surfaces and bad weather conditions".
