About The Vansmith

The Vansmith works out of Boulder and builds on both the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and the Ford Transit. Alongside fully custom commissions it keeps a rotating inventory of completed vans, which is unusual in this segment. Most shops at this price point build only to order.

Sits at the premium end of the Front Range cluster. If you want a specific layout and are prepared to wait for it, this is the tier you are shopping in.

What they build on

  • Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

    The default premium platform. Factory 4x4/AWD, tall interior, and the only chassis with a formal Mercedes upfitter program.

  • Ford Transit

    AWD available, the largest US service network, and an extended-length high-roof option that suits family layouts.

What they'll take on

  • Full custom builds

    Designed from scratch around your layout. Longest lead times, highest cost.

  • Semi-custom floorplans

    A fixed set of proven layouts with options. Faster and cheaper than full custom.

  • Sources the van for you

    Will buy the chassis on your behalf rather than requiring you to supply one.

Capabilities

  • 4x4 / AWD
  • Off-grid power
  • Four-season
  • Wet bath / shower

Worth a quote from more than one shop, because lead times and prices move a long way across a single state.
