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.

Figures cover diesel 120hp/150hp and battery-electric 136hp derivatives across Medium and Long/XL panel van lengths; unbraked towing is 750 kg across the range.
