Vans?
Although I have a 4x4 you have to balance the above against the less complex nature of a basic van conversion. I.E. a Transit / Sprinter type as long as you avoid the newest Euro 5 complex engine management with traction control, stability control..........MB parts in particular are available everywhere, either second hand or direct from Germany (at a cost of course)
More space, usually more comfort, speed and economy. Our 2.5TDi T4 will cruise all day at 140kmph and still get 7.6 litres/100km.
You can make them a little more rugged. Snorkel, AT tyres even a limited slip or locking diff.
All depends on your criteria and expected usage I guess.
BTW I know someone who’s selling an absolutely immaculate VW T5 4Motion 174bhp van. I’d be tempted if I had the money (£10kish I think) but they are pretty complex and possible not as robust as the more basic T4.
