Work-Friendly Features: It’s a Tie!
Generally speaking, these commercial vans offer similar lists of comfort and convenience features. The Sprinter and Transit come standard with some of the same items, like a sliding passenger-side door and forward collision migration.
But they differ also on some features — for example, only the Sprinter comes standard with a heated driver’s seat, while the Transit gives you standard rain-sensing windshield wipers.
But once you get to each model’s list of optional features, you can equip these vans pretty similarly. You can make either model more comfortable and tech-savvy. For instance, both vans offer touchscreen infotainment and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. And available driving aids include adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera.
Make More Deliveries: 2025 Ford Transit
Thanks to an extra configuration, the Transit can make more deliveries in one go. The Transit’s roomiest body style provides 487.3 cubic feet of cargo space (or 536.4 cubes minus the front passenger seat). If your company handles big volumes of cargo, this is the right van for you!
Where the Transit offers three roof heights, two wheelbases, and two body lengths, the Sprinter is available with your choice of two wheelbases, two body lengths, and two roof heights. Unfortunately, pairing its widest wheelbase, longest body, and highest roof doesn’t result in quite the same amount of cargo space, giving you just 469.4 cubic feet for your company gear.
Workhorse Performance: 2025 Ford Transit
The Transit doesn’t stop at being the roomiest option — it’s also the most muscular workhorse. Properly configured, Ford’s commercial cargo van hauls payloads of up to 10,360 pounds. It even helps you handle Florida traffic better than the competition, thanks to a sturdy, 310-horsepower V6 that goes from 0 to 60 mph in a very reasonable 6.7 seconds.
2025 Ford Transit Powertrain Options
- Standard 3.5L V6 (275 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque)
- Optional turbocharged EcoBoost 3.5L V6 (310 hp, 400 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is designed to do business, but it falls behind in terms of how much business it can do. Payloads max out at 6,812 pounds, potentially forcing you to make more trips to the warehouse for delivery cargo. The Sprinter’s high-output engine takes an estimated 12 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph, making it harder to go with the flow (not to mention merge onto fast-moving highways).
2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Powertrain Options
- Standard 2.0L four-cylinder turbodiesel engine (170 hp, 295 lb-ft)
- Optional high-output 2.0L four-cylinder turbodiesel engine (211 hp, 332 lb-ft)
- Nine-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive
