2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vs. 2020 Ford Transit

When you’re making deliveries in Roseburg, you need cargo capabilities that never falter. Comparing the Sprinter vs. Transit cargo vans, it’s easy to see which model allows you to haul more cargo with more people on-board:

Sprinter Cargo Van: Base Capacities

• Payload Capacity: 3,854 pounds
• Cargo Volume: 319 cubic feet
• Seating Capacity: 3-passenger

Transit Cargo Van: Base Capacities

• Payload Capacity: 3,630 pounds
• Cargo Volume: 280.9 cubic feet
• Seating Capacity: 2-passenger

If you need more cargo space or greater payload capacity, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is incredibly customizable, ensuring you can haul heavier cargo than the Ford.

• The range-topping Sprinter Cargo Van 4500 can carry up to 6,768 pounds.
• The Ford Transit maxes out at a mere 4,550 pounds of payload.

When you send your crew out to Corvallis, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter provides more assurance that they’ll get where they need to be safely. Both vans are equipped with a rearview camera, but the Sprinter offers these additional safety features which are unavailable from the Ford Transit:

• ATTENTION ASSIST®: After a long workday, the ATTENTION ASSIST® driver attention monitor ensures you and your team are awake and alert enough to be behind the wheel. 
• Crosswind Assist: Navigating through a strong crosswind can prove difficult in a vehicle with a high roof; Mercedes-Benz anticipates the needs of their commercial drivers with Crosswind Assist, a safety feature that helps you remain steady in your lane. 

Hiking, camping, and more are always just a short drive away living in Eugene. Many local adventure-seekers are privy to the versatility of commercial vans, upfitting them to be the perfect go-anywhere camper.

Whether you need confident handling in rain and mud or you’re heading off-road, a comparison of the Sprinter 4×4 vs. Transit AWD is essential:

• Sprinter 4×4: Using selectable all-wheel drive, you can switch from 2WD to 4WD at a moment’s notice and the Sprinter 4×4 will automatically distribute power between the front and rear axles. If a wheel loses traction, the Electronic Traction System 4ETS® springs into action to correct the issue.
• Transit AWD: The Ford Transit AWD model is equipped with a more standard AWD system. It can get the job done, but some may find it to be lacking when faced with adverse conditions.
