Vans We Build On

Three Platforms.
One Decision.

Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, or Ram ProMaster. Each platform is better for a different kind of buyer. We'll help you figure out which one is right for you — and why.

Every Sequoia + Salt build starts with a platform decision. The three full-size vans in the U.S. market — Sprinter, Transit, and ProMaster — are each engineered for a different kind of traveler. Picking the right one up front is the single most consequential decision in your build.

The short version: choose Sprinter if you want the premium driving experience and plan to keep the van 7+ years. Choose Transit for the best value with real AWD capability. Choose ProMaster if you want the widest interior and lowest entry price, and you'll stay on pavement.
