🚐 Can a Van Outdo a Pickup? 🚐 Ever wondered if a van could replace your trusty pickup for both daily driving and heavy-duty tasks? I really enjoyed the experiment Aaron Gold with MotorTrend Group lays out as he dives into this intriguing challenge with the 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 ### Key Points: 👉 Payload Champion: While the Sprinter may not tow as much as a full-size pickup, it excels in payload capacity—carrying up to 2,988 pounds, comparable to a Ford F-250! 👉 Comfort and Tech: Sprinters can be decked out with comfort seats, MBUX infotainment, LED lights, and advanced safety features. It’s a commercial vehicle with a touch of luxury. 👉 Size Matters: With an 11-foot cargo floor and almost 70 inches between walls, theres more cargo room then pickup trucks. 👉 Customizable Versatility: The Sprinter’s interior can be tailored to specific needs, whether it's hauling equipment, transporting horses, or setting up a mobile workspace. This flexibility is a game-changer for those who need a vehicle that adapts to various tasks. ### The Big Question: Will this Mercedes-Benz Sprinter prove to be a pickup truck killer for American work horses and adventurers? If you’ve ever been curious about the flexibility and utility of a Mercedes Sprinter Van, Isaiah Davis, myself, and the Wandervans team can help you explore whether a van can be better then a truck bed! #VanLife #CampervanLife #MercedesBenzSprinter #Campervannews #RV --- Follow for more updates, insights, and behind-the-scenes looks into the world of campervan rentals and builds! 🚐✨

Pull into a Bunnings parking lot anywhere in #Australia and at times you could be forgiven for thinking you were at a caryard for utes. In #Europe, however, if you pull into the Bunnings equivalent you’ll find vans as far as the eye can see, and a growing number of them are electric. Ford’s #Transitvan is the most popular van in the EU. It’s the Hilux of Europe. A car every tradie from #Germany to #Sweden will likely have. Non-tradies are also found driving the Transit van, though the obsession with driving a utility vehicle without the direct need for one doesn’t seem to come close with Australia’s obsession with utes. Still, Australians do buy more than 20,000 vans a year and that number is growing. This is a market that #Ford believes has even more room to grow, and potential to electrify. Enter the E-Transit Custom. Ford’s latest fully electric van is coming to Australia sometime in 2024. The exact date is not yet known, and neither is the exact price. Based on #EU pricing we’d expect it to be in the mid-$70,000s or thereabouts. On a recent visit to #Frankfurt in #Germany at Ford’s invitation, The Driven got a chance to get up close and personal with their latest commercial vehicle offerings, including the e-Transit Custom van. This will be the second electric van Ford has brought to Australia following the 2023 release of the FIRST e-Transit. The e-Transit carries a maximum payload of about 2 tonnes, and so its size makes it a good option for only a niche segment of the commercial market. The e-Transit Custom, with a its smaller size and price tag in comparison to the e-Transit, will likely lend itself as a better option for a larger range of fleets and commercial customers across Australia. Globally, Ford will release three iterations of the e-Transit Custom van, in the form of a 100kW, 160kW, and 210 kW models. Australia, however, will only be getting access to the middle of those options, at least for the time being. The Australian appetite for vans is a lot smaller than other markets such as the EU, and probably a particular lack of interest in a 210kw model – that might not do much more than boost your acceleration by a couple of seconds as the lights go green before coming to another stop 20 metres later down Parramatta Road. Getting into some of the specs, the e-Transit Custom, with its 160kw electric motor will come with a 64kw battery, offering a range of around about 300kms. Although not quite reaching the range of some of the consumer EVs we’ve gotten used to (often with a range of up to 500kms), in my view 300 is more than enough for the urban utility purpose the e-Transit Custom will likely fulfill. You’ll get up to 11kw in AC charging, and up to 125 kw in DC charging. You can of course plug into the wall with a 3-pin charger although this would be a separate purchase and doesn’t come with the vehicle as standard. The maximum payload stands at 1,012kg, fitting up to 5.8m3. You can tow up to 2300 kg.
Europe's love of vans is like Australia's obsession with utes: And they are going electric
