Comparison: steel vs. aluminum on the Transit Custom II
Roof racks are often a permanent feature on the Transit Custom II – and this is where the difference in materials becomes apparent. Aluminum is usually easier to handle and, thanks to its tubular shape, is particularly well suited to a quiet driving profile. Steel is often perceived as "classically solid," but is often heavier and, depending on the design, less aerodynamic.
