I've got a 2006 Vito 120, looking at new Vito or T5 sportline in next year.

It's a van WTF is the sportline for? just drive to the speed limit,

I drive at least twice a year to Austria, sometimes towing a trailer, and do at least 50 miles a day regularly.
The van is our main family vehicle, so we want something nicely finished inside with plenty of poke for safe overtakes on autobahns etc.

A vito extra long will take 8x4 ply with one rear seat out, you just lean the ply over very slightly.
It will also take a Ducati 1098 at a slight angle with the same seat out.

Has anyone had DPF problems with a modern van?

Or do they just get driven hard?

SWB trafic, 11 years old, has had a replacement gearbox and the previous owner replaced the injection pump, I drive it everyday and I would have a new one if funds allowed. It will take 8x4s laid flat and is overall a more spacious van than a T5.

Sorry for the stupid question, but why the ply wood references? Purely to demonstrate usable space, or are there just a lot of joiners here?

People pretending they want to carry stuff other than bikes in the back.

Primastar/traffics drive lovely but the fact you can't do an 8x4 against the side does my tree in. The lwb is just under 10foot which is better.

I love my 2.5tdi 5pot t4. It's black as well which makes in achingly much more cool innit
