The What Van? Road Test: Fiat Professional Ducato (2021)

Date: Friday, May 13, 2022

Our demonstrator came with a sliding nearside door plus twin back doors that could be swung through 90°, then through almost 270° if required; the latter facility is an option. Load area entry was particularly easy at the rear because the bumper incorporates a step.

We like the Ducato’s big, chunky door handles. Even if you are wearing thick working gloves, they are easy to use.

We played the game of count the load tie-down points. We found no less than 15 – eight on the cargo floor, two at the base of the full-height steel bulkhead, three at waist height on the offside and two at the same level on the nearside.

Tie-down points are of little use if you have no lashing straps. Accessible solely from the load area, the shelf above the cab looked like a good place to stow them. 

The cargo bay was lined with ply; and that included the always-vulnerable wheel boxes.
