Think you’d never want to drive a Ford Transit? If you’re gamer, you might want to check this one out. It’s Ford’s ultimate custom “Gamer Van”, created in collaboration with a collaboration with Full Squad Gaming.
The new Gamer Van takes the Ford Transit Trail and gives it a decidedly gamer-oriented makeover, with a gaming desk, a custom-built couch, a reactive cloud ceiling, external gaming stations and tons of gaming and streaming equipment. Thankfully, the Ford Transit Trail is equipped with 110-volt, 12-volt and USB outlets. It’s also fitted with Ford’s Sync4 software, which includes built-in Amazon Alexa, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Most importantly, it has a Wi-Fi hotspot, so you can stream from everywhere and allow the Full Squad Gaming Crew to game while anyplace.
Sounds great; but the van makes it all happen.
The $65,975 Ford Transit Trail is designed for off-roading, with all-wheel drive, 3.5-inch increased ride height, a 2.75-inch wider track, 30.5-inch Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse all-terrain tires, 16-inch black alloy wheels, a Heavy-Duty Trailer Package and a 6,500-pound towing capacity. It’s powered by Ford’s ubiquitous 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine 10-speed automatic transmission that produce 310 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. It’s fitted with five drive modes, including Normal, Eco, Mud/Ruts, Tow/Haul and Slippery.
Best of all, the van is being shown at Mount Kare in Wrightwood, Calif., as part of a tour that will take it to the Bronco Raptor Off-Roadeo at Mt. Potosi near Las Vegas. The road tour peaks at TwitchCon in Las Vegas on October 20-23, with the Full Squad Gaming Crew, where the company will be podcasting and interviewing gamers such as SypherPK, Daltoosh, Tarik, and Andrea Botez.
Sweet.
