If you’re trying to avoid the wrong van for expediting, this video is me walking you through my top 9 van platforms that actually make sense for an expediting business. I break down what matters in the real world: cargo space (closed cargo is a big deal), driving dynamics for long days on the road, fuel economy, and the stuff people ignore until it costs them money—like weak engines, missing driver-assist tech, or trims that look good but lack the amenities you’ll wish you had at mile 700. I cover compact options like the Ford Transit Connect (small but mighty with great MPG), midsize choices like the Mercedes-Benz Metris (smooth ride, agile handling, but pricier and options cost extra), and full-size workhorses like the Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster (configurable platforms that fit a lot of expediting niches). I also talk EV with the Ford E-Transit (strong tech, onboard power, but short range), premium cargo monsters like the Sprinter Cargo and Sprinter Crew (luxury touches, huge space, crew seating), and the old-school heavy-duty picks like the GMC Savana and Chevy Express (tough, dependable, easy parts—just don’t expect modern tech or great fuel economy).
