Attention has been given to every detail in the Crafter to ensure the comfort and safety of the driver and passengers. The cab ergonomics have been enhanced to ensure higher levels of practicality and ease of use in order to support the crew in their challenging work day. Improvements include robust seat upholstery for durability, a revised instrument cluster and control panel as well as plenty of storage compartments for a professional workspace.
With its 75 litre fuel tank, sturdy frame and generous loading capacity, the Crafter will deliver no matter what. Boasting a loading capacity ranging between 10.7m3 and 17.5m3, the Crafter can handle any load thrown at it. With one of the longest loading spaces in its class of up to 4.6m, youโll never have to leave anything behind. Loading and unloading from the back is made easy through two rear wing doors or through the left-hand side 1.3m wide sliding door. For even more convenience, a sliding door is optional for the right-hand side as well. With a payload capacity of up to 2.5 tons and torque of up to 340Nm, even the heaviest loads feel light.
The Crafter is available in a 3.5 ton GVM version and a 5 ton GVM version. Choose between two wheelbases – 3,640mm or 4,490mm – three body lengths and three different roof configurations.
The success of a business depends on the bottom line and with the Crafter you get value for money right from day one. Service intervals of 20,000 km will significantly lower running costs and the Crafterโs outstanding reliability will avoid expensive downtime. State-of-the-art diesel engines optimise fuel consumption and reduce wear and tear, which makes it look as good on the balance sheet as it does on the road. The Crafter is backed by a 2-year unlimited mileage warranty, including a 12-year anti-corrosion warranty โ a real vote of confidence given the long distance demands placed on business vans. Top quality workmanship and the long service life of the Crafter also ensure a competitive resale value, which means that it pays its way right up to the last day
The cab climate is easily controlled with a fresh air ventilator including air recirculation and heating as standard. Other standard interior features include power steering, heat-insulating glass, electric windows, radio preparation and door pockets. Optional features include a radio/CD player, semi-automatic Climatic air conditioning system, front reading lights and cruise control. All of these features have been built into the Crafter for your comfort and convenience, which means that youโll be more productive and able to give your business all the attention it deserves.
