Great van, drove the L5H4 with same engine, loaded to max, 3,5t+, engine never struggled, driving mostly 100-110 km/h on the autobahn got me 8-9l per 100km. Only problem was at around 300k km, there was a turbo problem, mechanic said it got clogged up from mostly being on low revs. Giving it some beans from time to time should keep it safe :D
I would like the Volkswagen Crafter to be in United States of America so it can be convered into many business vehicles like Ambulances, School Vans, Airport Shuttle, Handicap busses, Power trucks, Police Van, Fire Department, U-Haul Rental van, Delivery Van, etc.
Not bad. Put it in the Bathurst Race. No way would my Suzuki LJ50 keep up with this van. The bar tread tires wouldn't hold & I nearly toppled it on a roundabout @ normal speed. A VW T2 1600 would still beat a tiny LJ50 (or the 20 or 10).
