keep up the vans test 10 out 10 for that one and I don't like vw
Cheers fella!
Nice to see van reviews on your channel, practical and informative too 👍
Great work Bob! When purchasing vans it can be very easy to stick to what you know because there is no reviews out there. But with this (hopefully) being the start of van reviews it should make purchasing vans easier for many other business owners to see what other options are available!
What's the big deal with Crafters and Sprinters. They always rust. Usually within 3 years. That's not very high end. It's not even very 21st century. Renault or Nissan don't rust and are about 60% of the asking price.
Thanks Bob looking forward to the next Van review.
Nice review Bob, wish my boss would get me one of these for work rather than a vivaro.
Great review Bob. That particular van should have a dsg gearbox fitted, because as you said in the video, its a long distance cruiser
That'd be a great load-shifter - I've driven the Transporter, but that's a monster.
This crafter looks way better than the old one!
I don't know about wind tipping a van. Also how about fastening at the top.it's great there are fastening along the middle, but what about the top. If there anything that you can connect to so you put something that is 6ft fence panels and secure them at the top. I'm glad to see that the wheel arches are screwed in as I would whip them off so t corners of those wheel arches don't damage what I sometimes delivery. (3m work tops). Another driver said that the Android/Apple play thing is pretty good for send address details from maps on your phone to the one on the van. That would be good for me as I use Google maps as I can put company names in to get there instead strictly post code. Also the back doors would of been a nice mention if the doors go all the way round like the sprinter Vans and not at a 90 degree angle. But good video.
I guess the reviews will improve once you have a basis for comparison, this particular review felt a bit thin.
Thanks, Bob. I think this could give the Fiat Ducato and MB Sprinter a headache. Especially on the camper market. That might be interesting for you to do once; you did the VW California..
Bad details
What height is the van?! Got an 18 plate in July l but not able to consistently keep at the same speed. Is there an optional Limiter?!
Can you review the biggest new sprinter too and maybe compare the two?
Brittas Bay 👍
2:09 door bins right?
Interesting. Is white the default colour just as a blank canvass for advertising Bob? I’m sure van choice is mainly down to running costs especially parts & resale. I always have this chat with my taxi driver to get insights of the professional. €€€
Volkswagen launched the eCrafter electric version last month for fleet lease. But the battery is only 36kWh so it's not remotely competitive with LDV's more widely available EV80 which has more than double the range.
cros13 electric is shit. I'll never buy a electric vehicle
Your loss. A loss by way of ignorance but a loss nonetheless...
Long live petrol/diesel cars
@@bekabeka71 you mean long live terrible emissions, smog, global warming, etc.
Nissan NV200, please.
Thank you.
Review Ford transit sport please old and new
The next
Do the New Peugeot Expert!
Is the new Crafter still based on the Sprinter?
Btw, No one makes serious van reviews on you tube, this could be a glorious opportunity for you Bob.
Although, it is pretty relevant for contraktors like my self, to know how many europals a load can carry, so maybe if you another time, showed it more clearly.
Awesome review though!
It used to be based on Sprinter but now it’s a stand alone in-house design by Volkswagen.
I see it’s very popular so I’ll do a few more vans then!
Well Almost stand alone design then. The new MAN VGE, is based on the new Crafter.
MAN TGE, sorry.
@@Tobi0672 That is because they are owned by VW now and it's the exact same van just different badges.
Volkswagen says the cargo Bay length is 4.3 m but they rudely measure the Void under the bulkhead seen at 1:05 thats 200mm deep. Mercedes doesn't pull such a stunt with the Sprinter.
B I G
wv looks like after a facelift mercedes sprinter 312 2.9 engine
How tall are you? (He asks in a whispering voice) 👍😉
B Gray 6ft 1 (whispering back)
Bob Flavin Spot on. You know yourself for scale. 👍
That's 1.83m
Did I just see 840 miles range on nearly full tank? Is that a joke?
Nice video like the commercial stuff 👍, Alot like the cab in the Merc sprinter, still needs an arm rest come on Mercedes 🙄.
Now 100% VW, so no more rust, and crappie orange peel metallic paint, If they build it to same standard as the transporter, it will wipe the floor with the sprinter. Front wheel drive so lower to climb in and out of cargo area, not like sprinter.
Ya but how’s living in it? 😂
