FIAT DUCATO
// The Space-Maximiser for Creative Layouts.
Foundation Analysis
The Ducato (and its siblings Boxer/Relay) is the widest van in its class. Because the body doesn't taper as much towards the roof, it is the only van where a bed can be fitted transversely (across the van) without structural flares, saving thousands of pounds in the build.

What It Will Fit
Bed Layouts
Transverse Bed Ready: This chassis is wide enough for a sideways double bed, saving massive internal living space.
Wet Room Potential
High Potential: The LWB variants offer enough floor length for a dedicated shower and toilet unit without sacrificing the kitchen.
Garage Space
Typical high-roof builds allow for a 900mm–1100mm high garage space below a fixed bed, ideal for ebikes and technical systems.
THE VERDICT
Best For
Maximum storage, transverse beds, and budget-conscious builders who need every gram of payload.
Watch Out For
The Fiat 9-speed 'Torque Converter' auto is brilliant, the older 'Comfort-Matic' is best avoided.
PROS
- Widest internal loadspace (1.87m)
- Transverse bed layouts are easy
- Lightest chassis = highest payload
- Very economical engines
CONS
- Front-wheel drive only (no 4x4)
- Noisier to drive than Crafter/Merc
- Rust on paint (typical Fiat)
- Lower cab build quality
