The only reason the diesel Transit has a higher GVWR is because of the weight of the diesel, and to allow the same payload.
BTW - the E450 has a GCWR of 22,000 pounds, which is about 7,000 pounds more than a Sprinter.
Also, because the EcoBoost has forced induction, it can have whatever torque curve that Ford programs.
I am comparing the same vehicle , the Transit with a Ecoboost to a Transit with a Diesel
Not a different one. No the extra weight of the diesel, which is not much, is NOT a reason it has considerable more GCVWR, the Ecoboost is not a Heavy Cycle engine
The IVECO Daily with a similar 3litre engine to a Sprinter has a greater GCVWR than a
E450.
