Does anyone know of a van (Panel type not people carrier) that has three seats in the front.
All the cargo vans we have seen just have two.

Any suggestions?

Available in downtown Calgary...perfick, innit.

Nobody wants the coziness of three smelly workers sitting so close together anymore.

I think Dodge sells a rebadged Mercedes Sprinter - have you looked at that? people here think they're horrible though and prefer trucks.

Some trucks offer a "Bench Seat" option, this would be OK for 3. But of the "Van" type vehicles, I would think Chevy and Dodge are your best bet.

Thats what I'd go for if for no other reason than you can get one with a diesel engine for a bit of economy

I recently saw a Mercedes Sprinter in Calgary so they are available as well as the re-badged Dodge versions.

Don't know what the differences might be either price or quality wise.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I think the Dodge is the best option, but at $55,000 its very pricey. Its strange because in England cars are more expensive than here, bt the last brand new Nissan pannel van we bought was around 12,000 pounds.

Vans it seems cost more here.

They're very specialised - most people who would want them in the UK don't want them in Canada - so they can charge the people who really want them more.

Strikes me that most tradespeople/businesses who would use a Transit van in the UK use a pickup truck with a cap over the back in Canada. Part of the whole North American obsession with pickups I guess.
