Standard features for the Tradesman include 16-inch steel wheels with all-season tires, LED taillights, cruise control, keyless entry, and heated side mirrors. Comfort is provided in the form of cloth seats, leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and dual-zone manual air conditioning. Since its primary function is as a work vehicle, that's about as posh as it gets inside the cabin.
Also standard are entertainment features like a stereo with CD and a MP3 jack; upgrading to the Unconnect/Hands-Free Group adds niceties such as a touchscreen Garmin navigation system, satellite radio and Bluetooth.
The Tradesman gets high marks for its efficiency, spaciousness and streamlined design. Less desirable are its poor rear visibility and stiff handling, though competitors such as the Ford Transit Connect and GMC Savana 1500 don't excel in those areas, either. Buyers looking for a sturdy van without any extra frills that can pull its own weight will most likely find a good fit in the Tradesman.
