How Ford Transit compares
These are the makes buyers actually cross-shop against Ford Transit.
Ford Transit vs Mercedes Sprinter
The large-van benchmark, and the chassis a great many Luton, box and specialist conversions start from. Where a job needs more length or payload than a Transit, this is usually what the fleet offers instead.
Ford Transit vs Iveco
Where the van market runs into the truck market. The Daily is built on a truck-style chassis, so it carries more and tows more than a conventional van, which is why tipper and beavertail hire fleets stock them.
