Choose the Large Van if...
The large Transit remains a fleet mainstay for removals and trade work needing more room than the Custom, with this L3H3 350 spec representing a common mid-range hire configuration.
Figures are for the 350 L3H3 RWD 2.0 TDCi 130PS derivative as listed by a UK commercial hire fleet operator; other lengths (L2/L4) and roof heights (H1/H2) carry different payload and volume figures.
Full specifications →Choose the Daily if...
The Daily's GVW range stretches to 7 tonnes, well beyond most van-class rivals, which makes it a common choice where a job needs more payload than a 3.5t van but a full truck licence is impractical for the driver.
Payload and volume figures vary by wheelbase (3.0-4.1m) and roof height (H1/H2/H3); derivatives above 3,500 kg GVW require a category C1 (or C, for the heaviest) driving licence.
