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.

The Sprinter is priced and equipped as the premium choice in the large van class, and its 3.5-5.0t GVW spread with matching payload jumps makes it a common choice for fleets that need heavier derivatives without moving to a 7.5t truck.
Payload figures are for standard-roof (H2) PRO/SELECT trims at 3.5t GVW (314/316/319 CDI) and the heavier 417 (4.0t) and 515/517/519 (5.0t) derivatives; H1 and H3 roof options carry different volumes.
