Meet the newest 2024 Ford Transit Custom Nugget camper ($83,000), a reinvention that’s got Millennials and Gen Z written all over it. Why? Because post-pandemic, 45% of Millennials and 44% of Gen Z have shown the highest level of interest in camping, according to Condor Ferries. They’ve updated the camper van for changing demographics. It’s a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) that’s as eco-conscious as it is Instagrammable.
The Ford Transit Nugget Camper comes with a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle petrol engine combined with an electric motor, offering a total system output of 201 horsepower. It’s definitely an experience. The interior is a cozy haven with a fully-equipped kitchenette, a fold-out dining area, and even a bathroom with a built-in shower.
Camping is booming, with the industry projected to reach a whopping $43.89 billion in 2023. Did you know the camping industry is expected to grow annually by 9.12%, hitting a market volume of $62.23 billion by 2027? I’ve noticed this all across the world. Even for domestic travels in small countries, people love to drive and camp. #VanLife is real.
Unfortunately, only those in Europe get this beauty. For people in the States, go drive around in your Camry for now.
