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.

The Trafic competes on load volume in the medium-van class, with the L2 long-wheelbase version offering close to 8 m3 without stepping up to a large van.
Figures are for standard-roof (H1) van bodies in L1 and L2 lengths; a crew-cab derivative with a shorter load bay is also offered.
