I bought a barely-used (2K miles, 35% off (year on lot)) high-roof Sprinter on a whim back in 2017 (was a PGA tour shuttle, apparently) and took out all 3 benches, for a truly wonderfully capacious, full-enclosed hauling and moving machine.
We've also used it as a great family country-touring machine with all benches in (8 kids), and the kids have taken it around the country a couple of times with friends.
Can't recommend them more. Just a basic V6 diesel, but Mercedes does build solid trucks.
(The only drawback being that the roof a/c gaskets always break on these things at great expense (1600usd), out of warrantee. They even settled a class action suit about that exact problem, but only up to 2015. I suppose we'll have to start another to cover 2016 and up...)
- busterarm 5y agoIt's weird to me how Sprinters are everywhere but replacement parts are so damn expensive and hard to come by. If I get a Mercedes truck though it's going to be a Unimog.
- tomcam 5y agoThe Unimog is so gloriously impractical you’d swear it was an American vehicle.
- tomcam 5y agoEight kids. What I would give to have eight kids. You’re a living life right, that’s all I have to say.
