Talked to Ford at RV show and the Transits Low cargo capacity. They claim that the Transit is going to get Heavy Duty upgrades . Not sure when.

Since they are all vans, I suppose your comparison is applicable.
If comparing to E-Series as far as GVWR, that would place the new Sprinter closer to E-350; which come in 10,050-, 11,500-, and 12,500-pound GVWR.
That 2019 Sprinter are now built in US is an improvent — should at least lower cost some.
