new transit custom or vauxhall vivaro sportive

[dave l and l]

i had 20 sheets of osb in mine recently and it fitted no bother. i find it drives like a car and the mpg on long journeys are great and its very reliable . however a few bad points are on smaller journeys wee jobs around it can be thirsty , but to can most vans. the other thing is if it does break it doesnt ever seem to be a cheap fix, the ford is defo cheaper in general to fix but maybe not as reliable.

I didn't think a VW could take an 8' x 4'.

Transits ain't much better on MPG. I'm getting 20.4mpg in my beast lol but I am carrying nearly 3 tonne at all times
