2019 Best Medium Van | Peugeot Expert v Ford Transit v Hyundai iLoad v Renault Trafic

[@gregrobins5615]

It's refreshing to see that you guys have reported on the important factors that courier drivers etc look for when buying a van instead of racing them around a track. The Peugeot ticks all the right boxes.

[@mitchgroff263]

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

[@Drivecomau]

You're very welcome Mitch!

[@d.Lightman79]

Next time review the Trafic with same options as your Transit and Expert, not the entry level ! The 1200kg load capacity chassis is more firm than the 1000kg one and has less wind sensibility. The separation bulkhead with the long items trap flap is available and change radically the driving feeling. Reverse camera is available in option As Dylan Muir says, this is not a good review

[@joshytraylor]

Wouldn't change the poor wind and no foot rest issues

[@sandysutherland2182]

That lack of foot space for your clutch foot just ruled out the renault absolutly!

[@jenky1044]

Very good show. Excellent comparison. Cheers

Only 52 people agreed with you last year. 12,400 brought the hiace. Next was the iload 8,000 then the ford transit custom 6,500.

In the UK most builders use vans. Vans are targeted by thieves for the tools they may contain. I had a Mercedes Vito which had the sliding door bent in half in an attempt to rob me. The ford transit is the most popular van in the UK Cause it’s a good van however the 1 thing that haven’t covered in this video is security. The transit is a joke! A wrench will give you access to the drivers door in 10 seconds. And now they will punch a hole in the sliding door to get to the lock mechanism there. All vans are vulnerable but the ford is a fucking joke! Your call lads but if Australia is anything like the UK your ford security will not save your tools!

[@doctorboy5892]

Aftermarket locks.

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

Ford's have been easy to break into since the dawn of time, the transits been the most stolen vehicle in England for decades

[@frazerguest2864]

I’m looking to purchase a new van in the next month or two, (UK). Today I checked out the insurance quotes for Ford Transit, Peugeot / Citroen, Vauxhall / Renault and the Maxus e3. The insurance quotes on the Transit were more than double what they were on its competitors, which automatically rules it out for me.

[@bestvideos4ever1]

Fuel Consumption is mostly important. You aint said a word ? Here is my opinion: -Ford 10 Liter/ Diesel on 100 km -Renault 6,5 Liter / Diesel on 100 km -Toyota 9 Liter / Diesel on 100 km -Hyndai 12 Liter / Diesl on 100 km this is real world comparison, not the recomended from manufactor. Besides Renault is cheapest Spare Parts Market Price, its also a cheapest Repair cost. Also The Renault Motor is running 200.000 Km withou any issues, usual Runs over 500.000 Km after this you have to run service :))) Every other Manufactor strugles to get their Counterfit Gearbox to run on their Engines Smooth and without Breaking in 50.000 km. But most can't do it without repair. So overall Cost ist like this: Renault ist most all all "HIDDEN CHAMPION" of every Category you can image, Cost are so low, that you probably will byu a second Renault of of the Cost you spared for Service. And if you are Handy Men, you can Repair REnault yourself ! its more fun ! For me there is NO COMPETITION for Renault Trafic ! all thouse Counterfits Vans, who some took the Gearbox from others, Motors are anothers etc. Renault builds all by theirself just for this VAN ! And they do it PROPER WAY ! Even Mercedes can't reach the Standarts of the Renault, and thats why they decided to just take the Renault Motors and build them in Mercedes, but very few People know this, and its not alowed to advertise. Think Twice !

Rearview cameras are a must for newbie van driving

[@ltlynman]

Youve missed the info on how hard it is to do fluid checks and maintenance on these vans when they are full of tools and equipment. Also I have the older Hiace and the headlights are not adjustable for when you carry constant weight in the back. In my old Mazda vans Id attach shelving and piping to the inside for storage but in my latest Hiace the metal is so thin that it wont hold a screw for any storage system.

The Renault you failed on as it's got barns doors at rear if you want also. Also it can have sliding doors both sides or just one side. I don't know if your being paid to favour a certain van or not but you haven't done a good job at all with this video. The new Toyota is not mentioned also. This is a fail in my books as to show all the vans and what's good and what's not.

[@Wastelander13]

The "new Toyota" is a Peugeot anyway.

[@joshuaschubert6243]

I'd choose one that's not on this list, the Vw Transporter

says a Schoolboy from his mothers appartment, eating mama's spagetti with souce. But people who actuarely earn their money from working, choose wisely and don't throw money on the table just because overrated vanlife-dreamers tend to choose "VW" or "MERCEDES" vans.

If vans got as much love as utes everyone would buy them instead. Im a tradie and i prefer the van over utes. I've had a hiace, iload and now the trafic lwb .. to be honest, the renault is the best so far. Its economic, car like, i can pick up my 2 kids from school. Has underseat storage so you can put lengths up to 4.2m long in! I can stand up a 2.7m plasterboard sheet on its edge against my racking... i like it so far!

The Peugeot will destroy your back. If you're driving 4+ hours forget it.

[@G55-j9z]

My Ford is better than all of them, depending on which setup you buy it can carry up to 1200kgs and the average MPG/L per Km is 4.9L/100ks in the City and 4.4L/100ks getting over 1363ks per 60L/Tank and it will use even less if driven more carefully on the highway, The Transit has been Number 1 In Europe since 1966/67.

[@markburfurd6480]

Obvious ommissions of negative issues from peugeot is almost no dealer network for servicing here in Victoria very limited. High end interior???? plastics are very cheap compared to ford. Steering wheel is offcentre to the left of the body and feels unusual. Might as well not have a bench seat because of the complete lack of leg room in front of the bench seat. All the most obvious issues were excluded from this report. None of these issues exist in the ford. If the new hiace was included no bench seat at all and no barn door option.

I don’t know how it is in Australia mate but in the UK ford are being broken into easily! The biggest factor they haven’t covered in this is security! The lock cylinder on the drivers door can be open with a wrench. And now they will punch a hole in the sliding door to get to the lock there. Many transits over here now will have after market fixes. It’s why I just got a transporter.
