New 2024 Ford Nugget camper reinvented with PHEV power

The 2024 Ford Nugget camper has been redesigned with plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) power. This luxurious camper van is based on the Ford Transit and offers a roomier interior, improved dynamics, and more advanced technology compared to its predecessor. The new Nugget is also based on the upcoming Transit Custom, which is the latest generation of the popular van in Europe and the UK.

The market for leisure vehicles in Europe has seen significant growth, with the number of motorhomes sold in the region doubling between 2016 and 2021. The compact camper van segment is particularly growing, making the Nugget an important part of Ford’s strategy. Ford sells around 30,000 Nuggets per year.

The Nugget is now available to order in certain markets, with a starting price of around €76,500 in Germany and approximately £65,000 in the UK.

The camper is based on the new Transit Custom platform, which gives it a fresh look and improved usability and functionality. The interior has been redesigned to offer easier movement with a lower, flatter floor and a more compact dashboard. It also features an integrated side step and class-leading sliding side door and rear tailgate apertures.

The cabin can accommodate five people and has sleeping arrangements for four. The Nugget has been developed in collaboration with conversion partner Westfalia, which has been involved in every Nugget model since 1986.

Ford has focused on creating a camper that meets the needs of the digital age. The company has worked closely with existing Nugget owners to identify areas for improvement and has incorporated their feedback into the reinvented model.
