Business Vans verdict
You don’t buy a tipper unless you need one… or do you?
The usefulness of the VW Crafter as a large pick-up with dropsides is apparent. As a builder’s, landscaper’s or tree surgeon’s workhorse, it would acquit itself superbly.
So, any business with the need for a dropside vehicle should be happy to run the Crafter. When the need for a tilting bed crops up, it’s available literally at the touch of a button.
And if you really need a tipper, we doubt you’d find the Crafter lacking.
