    Need new service vans for the lads. Currently on a mix of Hyundai iLoads and Toyota HiAces.

    New iLoads don’t exist, cause they’re those ugly Staria things now. Don’t want them because they’re ugly, and because the cargo area is less usable thanks to the curvy design and bigger cabin. Also, front wheel drive which is bad when you carry a heap of weight in the back…

    New HiAces are an 18 month wait away which is bollocks.

    Tempted to go big with the Renault Master or LDV Deliver 9.

    Will never buy a Mercedes ever again so the Sprinter is out. VW Crafter is another option, but I know how a mate was treated with their Transporters in the warranty period and I don’t want to live that experience myself.

    Transits are Ford which is bad enough, but front wheel drive too. Also a bit on the small side.

    Not real sure what else to stick my nose into.

    Sick of reading marketing guff on car sales websites I can tell you that right now. I wish there was a factual comparison site where they just list the stats side by side for comparison.
