Hi
Been told Swift themselves read this part of the forum so please could someone enlighten me on the following :

Ordered a Bessecarr E795 last October for a March 08 delivery. Made sure to make clear that we want an 08 model & NOT a 07 held back til March !!!
Asked about cruise & told that Fiat do NOT do cruise even as a factory option.

Well, it would appear Fiat DO fit cruise as standard ( Auto trail ... Ci ... etc ) so will my new Bessecarr costing nearly £50,000 .... YES .... £50,000 ... come with cruise the same as other manufacturers or not?

Cruise is a very big must on my list & I have spoken at length over the Christmas period to the 'other 1/2' & really find it a little suspicious why Swift appear not to fit it.

Can someone let me know if it will come with cruise ????

Thanks

I believe that the converters fit cruise to thier models i.e autotrail CI etc. and not Fiat, I have never seen a Ducato van fitted with cruise control??

Conrad Anderson do a conversion, so does http://www.adroitservices.biz/

May be worth checking with a Fiat Commercial dealer to verify the fitting is std?

I have a 07 Carthago with a factory fitted cruise control and the instructions for it are in the Fiat manual.

My Solano HAS fiat factory fitted cruise control!! And as wobby says the instructions for it are in the fiat manual so they are not something added by the converter.

Hi Speedyone,
I dont think Cruise control is an option we offer but I need to check this when we are back at work next week.

Can you please send us a PM with your details and your dealer we can check your order details and confirm with our sales team.

Regards
Andy

We have a Ducato with factory fitted cruise control. Well worth the extra cash, and I wouldn't get a van without one now. Essential if you're spending days bombing down autobahns to get to Eastern Europe.

Similarly cab air con

Good to see Swift repairing their reputation at last. I can't think why they wouldn't offer cruise control as an option. I think came as standard with my Rapido

Cruise is an option that many manufacturers include as standard speowouldnt be without ours. Standard on all CI. Not bad for £33000. Surely if it was that important you wouldnt have ordered.

Hi. I think that all Ducato vans built after April 2007 have cruise control fitted as standard.
I rejected an early conversion, because it didn't have cruise and the model I bought was built after April, and came with it.

Cruise control is not on the Swift option list as upto now it has been a dealer fit option this your Dealer is aware of and should have told you.Peter.

We have a 2000 Hobby 750 with cruise control on a Fiat Ducato and it's referred to in the handbook. So it's been around for some time. You should be able to get it on the latest model.
Best of luck
