The Force Traveller is indeed a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. It features a Mercedes-derived FM 2.6 CR ED engine, which powers the rear wheels, and is equipped with a manual transmission and a synchromesh gearbox. The vehicle's rear-wheel-drive configuration is consistent across its various models, including those with different seating capacities and fuel types such as diesel and CNG[4).
How does the Force Traveller 26 compare as a long distance tour vehicle with the newer alternatives?

I still use Travellers as a tour operator for some routes. Tourists actually like the "authentic" feel and they're cheap to run. I wouldn't use them for premium tours or on very long distances, but… Basically, it’s about finding the right market for the right vehicle.
Is the Force Traveller 26 a good base for a camper van conversion?
07 January 2025 10:03
That really depends on what you need. The Traveller can be great if you’re planning mostly weekend trips and don’t mind a slower pace. However, if you’re planning on vanlife full time or long distance touring, you may want something more modern and powerful.
How does the Force Traveller 26 perform in hilly places?
07 January 2025 10:03
The stock Traveller is merely mediocre in the hills, but with a couple modifications it can be great. So I added better brakes, upgraded the suspension, and tweaked the engine a little. It now handles mountain roads like a champ. It’s all about how you’re going to make it work.
Does the Force Traveller 26 have what it takes to compete with modern minibuses in terms of passenger comfort?
07 January 2025 10:03
If I had the choice, as a passenger, I would certainly choose a modern minibus before the Traveller. As the Traveller is simple as a business owner, I find that appealing. Less downtime and cheaper repairs, fewer things to break. It's a trade-off.
Can the Force Traveller 26 be converted into a mobile clinic or medical van?
07 January 2025 10:03
I have seen some Traveller conversions that were really impressive for medical use. It can be a great mobile clinic with the right modifications - good insulation, custom interiors, and upgraded suspension. It’s the smart design and quality components.
