When you're in the market for a vehicle that can take care of all your cargo, where do you begin? If you ask us, Mercedes-Benz of Lubbock is a great place to start. Welcome to our dealer, where we prioritize your driving experience, first and foremost. We know that finding your ideal set of wheels might take some time, and that's why we want to provide you with an analysis of multiple rides.

Allow us to introduce you to the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vs. Ford Transit. Both of these are powerful rides that can carry what you need in and around Lubbock and Amarillo, TX, and Oklahoma City, OK, but who comes out on top? Read on for more information.



​

Foremost Features In the Mercedes-Benz

We'll kick off our analysis with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. This set of wheels is built to be the whole package-it's everything you need in a cargo mover. With toughness, power, efficiency, and flexibility all in tandem, it can manage whatever conditions might come your way.

What are some of its more noticeable traits, though? First of all, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van can:

  • Carry up to 15 people with its 15-passenger option (How's that for bringing the whole family?)
  • Offer a gasoline engine
  • Provide more hauling options, thanks to its Gross Vehicle Weight ratings between 8,550 to 12,125 pounds

On top of that, this model was developed to work through a variety of terrain. This means that you can maneuver through tough roads and tougher weather conditions. This is made possible by the van's electronically engaged 4x4 drive, which will change your traction for the better.

Safety for You: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

Safety is another draw of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and in its features, you'll find a variety of innovative systems that are designed to keep you and your passengers as secure as possible.

Some of these systems include:

  • Active Brake Assist, which warns of oncoming danger and brakes for you
  • Blind Spot Assist, which helps you see your blind spots
  • ATTENTION ASSIST®, which helps you stay awake as you drive
  • 360 Degree Camera, which offers a dashboard display, 360-degree view of your surroundings

Comparing the Ford Transit

It's difficult to compete with something as impressive as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, but the Ford Transit does offer a series of cool key safety features, including:

  • Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Ford Proâ„¢ Telematics Essentials
  • Intelligent All-Wheel Drive

While these are exciting, these systems are usually upgrades or subscriptions, meaning you won't get them standard on your van. When all the ideal features are strictly optional, narrowing down the best part of the vehicle in question is tough. If you're only getting the base trim, what awaits in your ride?

Similarly, while the Ford Transit is designed to handle your cargo, it doesn't seem to attain the same level as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. While the Gross Vehicle Weight rating of the Mercedes-Benz reaches 9,050 pounds (and has a range up to 12,125 on other trims), the Ford Transit taps out at 8,670 pounds.


The Victor: Who Takes It Home?

Now that you've read this Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vs. Ford Transit comparison, which takes the cake, in your opinion? Narrowing it down certainly takes time, as both rides are impressive on their own, but we think the winner is clear. That's why Mercedes-Benz of Lubbock suggests you take the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for a spin.

So, what are you waiting for? Take your next favorite ride in and around Lubbock and Amarillo, Texas, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'll be there for you, every step of the way-just contact us today!
