The Fiat Ducato is a no-nonsense workhorse that turns practicality into an artform, with a cavernous, flexible load area and predictable, car-like driving manners that make long days behind the wheel far less tedious. It’s equally at home with a tradesman’s kit or a camper conversion, offering sensible packaging, easy servicing and the sort of reliability that keeps surprises—and down-time—to a minimum.
