Is the VW Crafter II 35 Kastenwagen Hochdach lang plus 2.0 TDI BMT plus 4MOTION also suitable for off-road use? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. Wanting to go into real off-road it needs more than just an all-wheel drive. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many vehicles that look off-road capable but have limited capability to do so.
The VW Crafter has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. Ground clearance, another important criterion, is 195 mm for this vehicle. This allows it to move forward even in hilly terrain and, for example, on muddy paths in the forest without sitting up, assuming all-wheel drive.
Rating:
The VW Crafter has all-wheel drive as well as acceptable ground clearance. Occasional off-road excursions are no problem. However, it is not a real off-road vehicle.
