Cant put more than 500litres in due to the payload

If you want any more you're better off with a t280 or above
Enough space in a swb imo, but go mwb if youikeva fair amount of space for other equipment

Width are the same, its the length that differs. Plus the payload will increase slightly depending on the wheel base

All will have the same cab, and 3 seats

looked at some this morning,    what is the smallest 3 seater model,   transit T..., the royal mail use the smaller ones,     that size would be right  size  for the drive

had a swb 330 for years great van up here in hill country. Just got rid of a lwb movano..van issues aside it was too longin some cul de sac and farms to get turned aound.
got a mwb transit 350. its the bees knees. Bit more load space but still great to get turned around in tight places. But why not get a bigger payload

Don't get too hung up on van lengths.

The previous model Citroen Berlingo up to 2008 was 4137mm long and 1724mm wide.

The previous model Citroen Relay swb up to 2006 was 4655mm long and 1998mm wide.

Is 518mm and 274mm going to make all that amount of difference?

It's just 293mm longer than the new Ford Focus 5 door Hatch and 89mm longer than the Focus estate ST.

I bet it's shorter than the latest Mondeo Estate.
