@@ben3291 The T7 generation of Transporter is going to become available this year, so they are just trying to get as much out of the old platform as possible.
I am a bit disappointed that every time you guys bring the Vito to a race you always use the low end version of it. If it had been the 119 with 190 hp and rwd it probably would have smoked those other vans. Other than that as always great video and very nice content! Keep it up!
This is a tug o war vid. RWD would mean less weight over the driven wheels and more power would make no difference since this one could spin the wheels easily anyway. If anything the 119 would lose by more.
57 for s transit. Who on earth would pay for that tarted up works van? Crazy. Also daft putting low profile tyres on a van, need durable rubber for potholes etc. Rather see a drag race.
Vw are going to use Ford combustion and platforms very soon for their commercial vans and pick-up (part of the deal with Ford after Vw group diesel & petrol gate with emission cheat devices fitted as up to 400% over max legal limit of pollution allowed, with Ford getting Vw smaller electric car platform in exchange) so basically will be re badged Fords soon hence why would you think they would have won. Vw then Merc would win at being the most deadly toxic!
Matt, these tug of war are never fair while relying on a tow hitch that's not at the centre of the rear like a tow bar. otherwise there is a reduction in effective grip on the opposite side from the tow hitches.
Alloy wheels made of steel on the Benz... yeah Matt, this one was not that good. Tug of war with different tyres on slippery ground is pointless. Better do a Trailer-Dragrace or something similar with these vans.
I was hoping that the transporter was going to be a 4 motion sportline. Better still matt try and get hold of a 4 motion 204 dsg swamper van on BF goodridge Ko 2 tyres next time as they would surely bet the transit hands down .
You know, would be nice if Carwow and Mat would review these sort of vans and campervans or RVs and motorhomes, like how he reviewed the VW Grand CA. Any ways, exciting video, never even knew that Transit existed lol.
There ain't no Altimas in the UK, we have Camrys.. but they are basic and not TRD versions like in the US. Most off the Civics are 1.0L Turbos and some 1.5s.. most off the Mazda 6s are 2.2L turbo diesel or 2.0L non turbo petrol. Nissan don't sell saloon cars anymore in the UK and when they did a long tíme ago. They were called the Primera and Maxima. .Honda also pulled the Accord from the UK market about 6 to 7 years ago and the Toyota Camry is not a good seller and never really was.. Toyotas main saloon car was the Avensis and Carina before it. The Accord and Camry might be good sellers in the US. But the Mazda 6 outsold both off them combined here.
Should we do van reviews on our channel?
Yes please :D
yes🥰🥰
Yes
Yes
first
Next tug of war: f35 lightning fighter jet vs rimac nivera
Love it just love it
Get ready for the world's second flying car
Mat at f35 lol
Fighter jet takes too long to get up any sort of speed, easy nivera win
@@Neg2YGO what abt the weight bruh. F35 is liek 7 times more heavy than nevera and also f35 has a towing capacity of 6000 kg!
Carwow, still bringing the videos nobody knew they wanted
I wanted this video soo bad
👍
TOW are pretty boring, don’t prove much, depends a lot on tyres…yawn zzzzz
Mat, i don’t understand… the Merc has also a 119CDI version (2.0 190 hp) with rear traction, this one should have competed here 😰
I agree with you. I don't understand why they haven't choosed this version of Vito.
No, get the 122 CDI. It has a 3 liter v 6. 240 hp. Top of the range ford and VW vs top of the range Vito.
My dad has a 119 people told me it looks like a rocket when I hit the gas paddle
@@abdellah070 rocket? 🤣🤣
Hardly a fair comparison
Would've been more interesting if it was on tarmac instead of wet grass/mud think it might have been a different outcome
Probably requested by whoever loaned them the vans to preserve the clutches
Tyres would vaporize
You chose the wrong vito, you need the one with around 200 hp. That thing is a beast
And 4x4
Mercedes sprinters are pretty quick.
Top of the range 119 vito is 190bhp
@@cozzey11 Vito 124 CDI 239 hp
@@Freimopp777 yeah but you can't get the 124 as a panel van.
Mat, do a TUG-OF-WAR with the Model X plaid and Urus! It would be interesting!
U got half a million dollars in case shit goes south..?
Model X would easily win - no clutch, instant torque and bigger weight advantage.
@@alexyoungberg5232 they have insurance mate
@@rm0234 no way insuring cover fucking about
Plaids are rarer than rocking horse shit at the minute.
£57k for a Ford Transit...that's my good laugh for the day.
Its msrt mate just not a regular transit, picture rolling down the highstreet in that bad boy
And forgot to mention £56k for a VW That underneath its nearly 20 years old .
@@ben3291 The T7 generation of Transporter is going to become available this year, so they are just trying to get as much out of the old platform as possible.
@@I_THE_ME true but unlike the T7 Multivan the cargo T7 is actually the next generation of Transit custom
@@tundaslug07 It is very cool and I get the premium, but think 57k is a bit steep tho still.
No one knows how Mat will suprise us in future videos

Agree this it is a bad test he should have taken a 119 4 wheel drive
Well, the Transporter also has a model with 4 wheel drive. Isn't that Vito just a rebadged Renault/Opel?
This is a tug o war vid. RWD would mean less weight over the driven wheels and more power would make no difference since this one could spin the wheels easily anyway. If anything the 119 would lose by more.
@@I_THE_ME It is a Renault. All diesel engines used by Mercedes up to 170 hp from 2009 onwards are from Renault.
it doesnt matter. if your profile of your tires are filled with mud then you have little traction no matter the power
3:59 when the Mercedes driver jump on the seat kills me 🤣🤣
£56,000 for a Van, I’ve just lost touch with reality, how do people afford that? Interesting Vid though
All that tugging and no mess.
Impressive.
The new VW bus looks better than the inside of my car
Carwow videos have changed and improved a lot within these years
The first best van video
Mat thank you so much for this insane video
For 57k i'd expect that Transit to do more than look embarrassing
Good because it also sounds embarrassing
I actually love the look of it, am I the only one?😂
LOVE my Transit custom, only the limited version but still an amazing van to have.
4:04 that turbo noise is so freaking great 🥰
I would really love to see a drag race between a Datsun 280zx Turbo (1981-1983)and a Porsche 911 SC (1980-1983)
57 for s transit. Who on earth would pay for that tarted up works van? Crazy. Also daft putting low profile tyres on a van, need durable rubber for potholes etc. Rather see a drag race.
As a Ford fanboy, I was expecting the VW to win, Ford never disappoints me eh..

Mainly down to driver and tyres
It was simply the fatty in the group, there was just no getting around that (except if you add 4WD).
The two vans will become one next year
@Afrodyta 💪💪
You brought the 622 engine version of the Vito. Essentially a Renault !!! You need a juicy 651 or 654 in there
This is really about a war of tires
I love panel vans and van comparing.More of these,Mat!
even my dad has a van called Nissan Vanette NV200 with 1.6l petrol engine producing 110HP and 153NM of torque😁
This is more like a test of who has better factory tires.
When I can you do a top of the range sports van drag race?

Need to use a 119 Vito (they are quite quick)
arent quick*
People driving it like it is fast 🙂
Now pull with an vw transporter 4 motion
quick question, a sport transit, a sport VW, and a basic Vito, has Mercedes upset you Matt?
Nearly 60k on a van 😳😳 not a chance why is there a market for such a thing
but why on wet gras do it on the asaphalt instead
Drag race of these, please!
So you take the top of the range transit and the bottom of the range Vito
Engine noise through the speakers like you get on a 4 year olds toy.
voided Ford warranty by towing VW 2035kg over 1800kg capacity as specified ?
Excellent video Mat!😸
How bout doing same thing but on tarmac
I want to see the drag race
Hell yeaaa!,! Back with the transporter !!!😍😍😍😍😍
4:11
greatest voice crack ever😂
Love you mat carwow
MSRT MOTORSPORT ROAD TECHNOLOGY...THE ULTIMATE VAN 👍
Matt, would love to have seen the difference the 4motion would have made to this test
Great video!!!
Mercedes have a sporty van as well,you should have tried that one
They wouldn't try that one as it would have won hands down LOL
Matt Watson is what Tom Holland gonna look like when he’s older
Mat do a TUG-OF-WAR with AMG GLE 63 Coupe vs Urus with Yianni if it's possible
no drag race???
Whats the point ?
Van with best tread
WHY? What's it even matter on wet, muddy grass? I could have bet that in my dirt bike.
Well well well..👀 Thanks Mat!
WELL THE VW IS DEFENETLEY THE COOLEST
I was hoping that the transporter was going to be a 4 motion sportline. Better still matt try and get hold of a 4 motion 204 dsg swamper van on BF goodridge Ko 2 tyres next time as they would surely bet the transit hands down .
At least this was a like-for-like challenge! No point competing a FWD with road tyres vs 4x4 with offroad tiyres...
57k for a gutless 2.0L diesel and naff body kit? On your bike Ford.
You boys know how to give a good tug
You know, would be nice if Carwow and Mat would review these sort of vans and campervans or RVs and motorhomes, like how he reviewed the VW Grand CA. Any ways, exciting video, never even knew that Transit existed lol.
Mud Tire VS VW and Mercedes
Love your channel ❤️❤️❤️
Do it on a road
I’d love to see the VW 4motion
Tug of war on dirt surface with regular tires is pointless 👎
BE SAFE BE WELL ❤️🔥
Everytime he says MSRT, my brain instantly thinks MSRP
Why do you do it on grass it's ridiculous and means absolutely nothing, it's a tyre test at best
I'm sure its the weight difference... its harder to pull a heavier object. A fairer test would be on tarmac/asphalt
True but would be horrible for clutch and transmission
@@mohabeats4674 Absolutely, I guess the vehicle donors wouldn't allow a "dry" test for that reason.
Where are the gas safe stickers on the transit?
Top of the range ford and VW vs bottom of the range Mercedes. Luckily it wasn't Vito sport it would of had the ford for breakfast.
Hello mat is it possible to see water vapour from diesel exaust ??
Great TUG-OF-WAR
😆 lovely exhaust
Tug series are awesome
Mat u clot, use the proper mercedes with the 163hp engine.
1:39 pretty sure that's steel wheels with hub caps?!
That is challenge of biggest competitors ever ;)
You need to do this with the 119: with a 187bhp engine
The Ford and VW cost more than an entry level Toyota Landcruiser 300 in Australia? No level of accessories makes that good value.
Do a drag race or review or tugof war with double decker busses 😂
Try the same test on tarmac 🚜
Could we get more van drag races?
£57 grand
Absolutely ridiculous
Royal piss take
Next time please do these on tarmac not on muddy grass
Why didn't you do this on a lake frozen over? Or with the vans on 4 jack stands with the wheels off the ground?
I know it’s just vans but tbh I would have loved to see the last battle with both cars in 2nd gear 😭😂
Please do a tug of war but on normal road, in the grass it always gets slippery
These tests are pointless. They both have Road tyres the test should be done on tarmac
That is a sick transit.
Do drag/tugwar of mini box truck or even mini camper van 👌😁😂
You could've made a drag race Matt 😂
We done the very same tests and the vw won all round wtf
MB Sprinter 4x4 vs VW Crafter 4motion next. Thanks!
Hi Matt, can you please make a drag race with the vans
That Mercedes looks like they used too much softening filter 😂😂
Your videos are so different from other channels.
