Cargo isn't the only thing it holds.

One element of TCO that's typically overlooked doesn't have anything to do with how much a vehicle costs you. It has to do with how much it's worth. A van that retains value puts more money in your pocket at the end of its service life. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter depreciates at a much lower rate than that of its competition, commanding a higher resale value than any commercial vehicle in its class. Maximum return with minimum expense. That's something every business person values.
