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 Proace if...
The Proace gives Toyota a stake in the medium-van class using Stellantis-group platform sharing, competing directly with the Transit Custom, Trafic and Vivaro on payload and load volume rather than on any distinct Toyota engineering.
Figures cover L1 and L2 wheelbase diesel derivatives and the battery-electric version; a shorter-range 50kWh electric option has a slightly higher payload than the 75kWh pack.
