\"\"
\nMost van shoppers would be aware that Mercedes-Benz Vito comes with a rear-wheel drive configuration. This means the power is delivered to the back wheels of a vehicle. It is the only mid-size van on the market with that offering.<\/h4>\n

Acceleration<\/p>\n

The back two wheels help the vehicle accelerate, and the front two are responsible for steering the power coming from the rear which permits a faster driving experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Traction<\/p>\n

When you are converting a van to a campervan, there is significant permanent weight added to the cargo area which in return improves the traction. Other advantages include better handling dynamics, improved towing capabilities compared to front-wheel drive, reduction of torque steer, better traction and stability.<\/p>\n

Towing<\/p>\n

Rear-wheel drive is a better option for those towing a boat or a trailer, because the weight is more evenly distributed. The wheels powering the vehicle are closer to the load, which makes handling that additional towing weight a breeze.<\/p>\n
