Choose the TGE if...
The TGE offers the same body shell and volume options as the Crafter it shares a factory with, but adds a 5.5t rear-wheel-drive derivative not available on the VW, aimed at fleets wanting a heavier payload without a 7.5t truck.
Figures cover front-wheel-drive 3.5t derivatives across Standard, Long and Extra Long wheelbases and roof heights, plus all-wheel-drive 3.5t and rear-wheel-drive 5.0-5.5t derivatives; the 5.0t+ derivatives require a category C1 licence.
Full specifications →Choose the Master if...
The Master's twin-rear-wheel derivatives at 3,500-4,500 kg GVW give it some of the highest payloads in its class, and its towing capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes suits trades that also pull a trailer.
Payload ranges reflect FWD diesel derivatives across trims and drivetrains at each length/height; the E-Tech electric Master and 4.5t twin-wheel derivatives are quoted separately by Renault.
