Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) has combined multiple steps into one with its commercial vehicle configurator, which allows users to choose, design and place orders for the Transit (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/transit/), Transit Connect (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/transit+connect/), E-Series (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/e-series/) vans and F-Series Super Duty (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-series+super+duty/) trucks.

The most interesting part of the new configurator is a fairly robust design tool. Users are able to choose paint color and wrap the vehicle, and then create their own graphics. No materials are needed - Ford provides numerous background textures, text boxes, plenty of shapes and 20 categories of images including floral, construction, plumbing and skylines. Self-created designs or images can be uploaded to the system as well.

We played around with the design tool a bit and uploaded our own image to create the Autoblog Podcast Live van you see here. Feel free to check out the configurator (http://www.fordcommercialgraphics.com/) and make your own design.Wrap up some fun with Ford's commercial vehicle configurator (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/27/ford-commercial-vehicle-configurator-custom-design/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Tue, 27 Aug 2013 08:28:00 EST.
