VW Crafter – first generation based on the Sprinter, built by Daimler in Düsseldorf and Ludwigsfelde: 65 to 130 kW, TDI four-cylinder engines, 2,310 to 2,945.5 kg kerb weight, 4Motion all-wheel-drive variant
The VW Crafter has been Volkswagen's heavy van range since 2006, based on the platform of the second-generation Mercedes-Benz Sprinter; Daimler built the first Crafter generation as a technical sister model of the Sprinter for Volkswagen at the Mercedes-Benz plants in Düsseldorf and Ludwigsfelde. 4Motion denotes the all-wheel-drive variant, TDI the turbocharged diesel engines, and LM-350N-2.5TDI-2EKE2 the wheelbase, engine and equipment combination of a panel van.

The register lists 6 versions with 65 to 130 kW, TDI four-cylinder engines from 1,968 to 2,461 cc, kerb weights of 2,310 to 2,945.5 kg, a consistent 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight, lengths of 5,910 to 7,035 mm and widths of 1,993 to 2,200 mm.
With the shared-platform strategy, Volkswagen was able to enter the heavy-van segment without developing its own vehicle; the Crafter, as a near-identical technical twin, competed directly with the Sprinter and, thanks to VW's dense dealer network, was especially popular with fleet and rental customers.
When buying used, as with the Sprinter, check for rust at the sliding door rails, load sill and underbody, the condition of the timing belt or timing chain depending on the engine variant, and the function of the automatic gearbox, plus on 4Motion models the condition of the all-wheel-drive transfer coupling; since the underlying technology is identical to the Sprinter's, parts are available through both brand networks.
