Ford debuted a new Transit Trail van for 2023, a van which was explicitly designed with camper van build-outs in mind. The Transit Trail provides an excellent platform for both professional builders and DIY builds, taking care of the “scary” stuff like the off-road suspension, electric wiring and adding a roof vent fan in-house and under Ford’s warranty. It also packs Ford’s twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, giving it more than enough oomph for just about anything.
With a base like that, it’s no surprise that vanmakers would jump on it quickly. Missouri-based custom van builder Vandoit recently announced a new Moov model based on the Ford Transit Trail, and it comes with a twist: its modular, customizable layout gives buyers the freedom to build out their ultimate #vanlife adventure vehicle.
The Moov can be fitted with one of three bed options
Vandoit is offering the Moov with three different bed options that allow for versatile usage of the interior space and gear storage. A new drawbridge bed setup with two platforms on gas struts lowers down to make a full-size bed. Owners can also opt for a hydraulic bed platform that raises and lowers with a hand crank, or Murphy-style beds that can attach to the side of the vehicle.
