[@atger1]

This was the first MB-Sprinter, (with subtitle)kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y37de4J-bc2mobs

[@thewhiteEagle]

guys i wish to test the iveco daily 2018 it's better than sprinter and more beautiful

[@MSopm17]

Are we getting 4x4?

[@ernestoche9349]

Elefante tail jajajaja looks like burro fh 🦶

[@bangkaisun9853]

this is the best episode I've ever watched in TFL. using vlog style to introducing a new vehicle, very natural and genuine.

[@nomorecontent5404]

Great job, continue adding vans to y'alls segments.

[@mikem8093]

i hope they finally got the A/C fixed my 2012 is still being repaired under warranty after 24 return visits to the dealer in 5 years It keeps freezing up.

[@brentvance3958]

We just got a 2018 F150 King Ranch with the start stop and I thought I would hate it but truth is I don't realize it anymore. But if I put it in sport mode it never shuts off.

[@TheAhemahemahem]

Holland looks beautiful always cool to watch videos where you guys can go places

[@Hurley22bball]

That's a nice van but can you guys please please do an Ike Gauntlet challenge with the Nissan NV 3500 passenger van

[@natewagner3165]

It was cool getting to see Roman running around with the dude from MotorTrend/TruckTrend and y'all trying to get the voice command to work Jeremy Clarkson has had a blast with voice command over the years lol

[@markokravcar3876]

So this is what Sprinter without a single rust spot looks like ??? Amazing....

[@svongsa]

I’ve heard that water gets into the molding on the side of the Vehicle. Where else is the rust problem?

[@0ttoman]

Vans: Europe’s pickup truck

[@TFLtruck]

So true

[@roywynter9983]

So wrong

[@AlasdairGreig]

So true, vans are seen everywhere in Europe, like how pick up trucks are seen everywhere in North America

[@katcankan7129]

So ture. The Vans in Europe are mainly white so in the UK the driver is called "White van man"😀

[@Ozgrade3]

Roman should do some travel vlogs while he's away, he seems like a natural at it. Great video.

[@stevenduhaime1484]

I'd love to buy one of these in 4x4 as my next rig. I'm not sure I'll be able to afford it, the current short wheelbase mid-roof 4x4 with a few options is over 60k.

[@Camp_Runamuck]

Fantastic Review .

[@philtripe]

that "gritty" feeling stems from the fact when you are in the front seats your feet are like four iches from the front tire so its pretty hard to be isolated from that wheel which makes them very tiring to drive

[@williamoverton7265]

Could you make a video about the gas engine sprinter dependability pleasee?

[@Larnsdoon]

I've got a 2018 C300 loaner for my Metris, but had to turn off that Start-stop thing😂. Would guys happen to know if they improved the driver's seat comfort at all?

[@s140s]

Some say Sprinters start rusting at the production plant, did those new models show any rust?

[@johnsondippinoutdoors1820]

I want to see a test to gas powered duallys towing like the diesels

[@BullittKid08]

JohnsonDippin 99 Agreed

[@johankriek2733]

When is the 4X4 version coming?

[@OscarSchneegans]

I have a 12-passenger, 2012 Sprinter van, because I have nine kids. It's a great van. I would've liked 4x4, but that wasn't offered in the US until 2016. I also would've liked more gears (so the diesel V-6 would run at about 2,000 rpm at 75 mph), and better towing capacity. I look forward to learning how the new Sprinter compares.

[@BullittKid08]

Is every young lady in Holland gorgeous? Seems like it, jeez

[@Roaming50]

Hartson Racing that because the Netherlands is one of the most cycling focused countries in the world. Keeps them fit.

[@UltraSS-nj8kd]

Yeah theres not near as many fat feminist liberals there lol

[@Roaming50]

Err, the Netherlands is one of the most liberal countries on the planet.

[@dylan522p]

Colorado Biking liberalism means classical liberalism in Europe, classical liberalism is not leftist liberalism like it is in us.

[@mountainhobo]

Cycling my ass. It's because they are natural blondes. Admit it. Here in Silicon Valley people hike like crazy (there is absolutely nothing else to do here besides work and hiking), so people keep fit relative to other areas, but you have a bigger chance of winning a Powerball than seeing a natural blonde.

[@bump_draft]

I wonder if these will be available to conversion makers immediately e.g. Winnebago

[@PechatiClub]

Hi guys, nice video. Any info about sprinter 4x4 Thanks

[@grayowl1509]

Important question I can use it Diesel B20 ??? This is A big problem in USA

[@josephpgarrido]

I wonder if they've resolved rust issues on these new models.

[@rodrigomontoya3112]

Great , Info video always keep it up the good job, by the way the guy behind you with the beard is Jaime Gabaldoni, a well known Peruvian car journalist, based in Miami for Univision.

[@bwtupper]

Hi Roman . . . Is there going to be a 4 wheel (AWD) passenger option in the US?

[@ChrisLoew]

Will the blue tech clog the engine and def fluid reek havoc on the systems early on causing fleets to drop the van entirely?

[@ultradaves]

Roman, any feedback on how quiet the passenger is? Wind noise? Is the sound insulation better than the last generation? Better than the Ford Transit Wagon?

[@rockrunner387]

Will the diesel operate with B20 fuel, which another KZbinr said is the only diesel fuel sold in Minnesota and Illinois?

[@keltheb]

Much better media display is nice to see.

[@jeffreycashdollar]

Curious....will the 2020 Revel have these upgrades?

[@ivn.b]

so no more High Roof ? or is there an even higher roof on the UK?

[@antonionascimento5319]

lindo vídeo

[@scottsmith6571]

Does the non dually sway bad in the wind ? I'd go 4x4 an dually ... what's max tow capacity ?

[@scherry9819]

Did the check engine light come on?

[@TobyCostaRica]

16:37 looks like they put usb C in there with those adapters. Good job Hanz!

[@ultradaves]

Will we get the 4WD version? Availability?

[@makker0082]

Hi Roman, I was waiting for you to visit me and have some coffee.... Nice video. THANKS

[@igorverdes]

Hope they fix the rusting problem.

[@SquareoftheyearFM]

I imagine the pallet was there to stop the crashing around sprinters get when they’re empty.

[@limpunsing224]

Does it have a low roof version?

[@MA9494AM]

Remember all of the generations on display + the T2. Delivery vans, taxis, police vans, ambulances and light fire engines (command posts and SCUBA units)

[@bryan7821]

Holland ships StroopWaffels here to the USA, although they are hard to find here, i buy those from the world market.

[@ronaldspins]

Great video , if someone was going to have only one vehicle a Sprinter would be a awesome pick .....Stroopwafels , Stroopwafels , Stroopwafels !!!!!!!!!!

[@bottledo1]

I would buy one for my business but the bodies here in Nova Scotia rust out in no time. On another note five boxes high,( he is going through the roof )

[@wkdravenna]

His calculation skills are good enough for the car lot. lmao

[@1970HondaCL100]

I absolutely hate the auto start/stop feature in all cars; doubly so if it can't be deactivated.

[@Roaming50]

Carcaine I agree. I hate my wife’s Honda Pilot because of the start/stop.

[@paulrodrigues9603]

On a Ford just stick a 7 wire trailer adapter into the receptacle

[@JLeeChron]

Paul Rodrigues unfortunately that doesnt work beyond the “initial plug in”, on the ‘18...just leaving it in doesnt matter still goes to start/stop. Its a nuisance

[@mikeatv]

Carcaine .... the stop start is horrible... your 100% right...

[@crazyhass84]

Carcaine I have it in my rental cars all the time. It doesn't bother me. As soon as u remove your foot off the brake the engine starts and u take off like normal. I think people just want something to bitch about!

[@robwelsh3803]

Does this come with TPMS?

[@Rolfvanrijn72]

Sweet, back in my country. So jealous, stroopwafels & windmills

[@danmurphy1994]

Probably the only place in the world where Roman doesn't feel extremely tall 😂😂

[@PowerRacer]

nice

[@Intelligent_Bot]

16:25 These are USB-C ports too but with adapters plugged into them.

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

I do like the Sprinter van a lot. After all, it's kind of a baby cousin to the Unimog. As far as stop/start goes, I have kind of mixed feelings. I kind of like it, but I definitely understand why a lot of people don't. On the other hand, I don't really have that much experience with it.

[@jaykayjay100]

How wide are the doors

[@littlefarm34]

so what if you don't use cell phones ?? do they have the onboard info?

[@chele089]

I might just be the only person that likes Start Stop. Efficiency ticks my german engineer boxes.

[@geepuller1]

I want to see a mash up test of some different vehicles on rough roads. A lot more people need to drive safely and efficiently on rough roads than need to tow and go hard core off road. A timed segment of a forest road would be cool.

[@cjeam9199]

I love stop start.

[@makeittrickshots1814]

So what happens when your phone dies

[@macbookpro57]

Are you connected to the “4ltge?” Was that a joke?

[@dmwil1]

Count me as one who doesn't care for stop/start. I've got it on my JL Wrangler and I shut it off except when in line at a drive-through window. I'd probably use it more, but I'm keeping my Jeep for likley 20 years and I worry about the wear and tear on the starter.

[@crazyhass84]

Principal Skinr u r an idiot. Don't u think they gave u a heavy duty. Starter?!

[@mpsangha]

They put in a heavy duty/higher amperage starter on the FCA vehicles. The thing is, they still use the same battery as a non start stop vehicle, so you'll be replacing it a lot more often.

[@crazyhass84]

Manpreet Singh well they upgraded the battery to the newer glass mat type a few years ago in othe fca products and it lasts fine. I think u need to do more research vs being a worry wort.

[@ALMX5DP]

Andy Hass a few automakers are already experiencing premature starter deaths thought to be contributed by the auto start/stop features. Despite being "heavy duty" there is still a good amount of wear and tear that will likely make that starter a consumable (and more expensive as a result).

[@crazyhass84]

Alan Bowers it won't male the starter more expensive. It will make it less because they will be making more. U have a 5 yr 100mi warranty so who gives a shit. Enjoy your vehicle and move on

[@Routeman111]

Bad points I think are 4 Cup holders on top of the dashboard so your drinks reflect in the windscreen and bottles and drinks stick up in front of the driver obstructing your vision ahead and get hot in the sun. Great idea. Put all your paperwork in the open compartments in front of the driver so they to all reflect in the windscreen to. No where to put a 2 litre bottle either. No grab handle to get in. Great when your doing multi drop driving all day so you have to grab the steering wheel to get in. I drive a works 314cdi rear wheel drive 6 speed manual gearbox lwb van in the uk. Does 29 to 32 mpg. Very low first gear have to immediately change to 2nd gear soon as the van is moving as revs rise quickly. Engine is nice and torquey though.short shift it is best

[@mountainhobo]

15:15 Wait, so you drive over wet lawn, dig in a few inches, and the van breaks down?

[@bibolcs]

Holland..? what about Colombia South America..?

[@CanadianTexaninLiguria]

Haven't done the GMC or Ford Diesels yet.....

[@jonmay6495]

I have only ever seen one super high roof van I did not see one in any vans there in your video

[@rizaerlangga1941]

3:26 stroopwafels.....😍😍😍

[@ilovetoyotatrucks]

riza erlangga that's my new safe word!

[@fentor3713]

You need to review the workhorse Ngen. It does full 100 electric miles per charge and 4x4. Please :) and I got a package for those ladies too

[@aaronw8606]

It's funny that, considering how much "van life" seems to be gaining ground here in the US, that we don't have direct access to the full gambit of MB Sprinter let alone the ability to order from all the variants.

[@LouisSubearth]

Aaron W The lack of options is because it would drive the price higher to offer all the variations stateside because they all have to comply with FMVSS, and not all will sell in volumes that will make profits.

[@aaronw8606]

Agree in terms of "on-site" availability. I I was looking more to what Volvo is/was doing by only offering the V90 Cross Country in U.S. showrooms, but you could order the regular V90 directly from Sweden. Since the platform construction shouldn't really vary between the vans, MB could theoretically do the same thing. Over the life of the vans "generation(?)", MB could greatly widen their profit potential with the relatively "low cost" of FMVSS certification. It may take longer for me to get, but I get what I want and MB gets the sale.

[@simonlynchsae]

Nope. Chicken Tax. Plain and simple.

[@aaronw8606]

What?

[@simonlynchsae]

Was answering to Louis. We don'T get all offers because of the chicken tax.

[@lendlkaiser3622]

Are they going to mfg. in Charleston USA?

[@anthonyhalbert6626]

lendl kaiser yes

[@lendlkaiser3622]

Thanks Anthony Halbert.

[@peter-jm1pu]

Why no manual transmission to North America??????

[@Vanagone]

4:43 oh no, is it front wheel drive?

[@MegAndJas]

My 2011 Sprinter just hit 435,000 miles, no need to change it for some years yet.

[@minivanmaster]

back at it again with those white vans

[@waffenbear117]

My 2011 sprinter has almost 300k miles and now I’m debating on wether to get a new sprinter or ram pro master

[@thorvidarknutsen3557]

sprinter can easy og 1000 k miles

[@dstblj5222]

the promaster has the most god awful seat design ever

[@jarbasacabamentoperfeito8268]

Muito bom

[@ratheeshcheriyan2372]

Great

[@ilovetoyotatrucks]

Stroopwafle = my safeword when I meet that fudge stiring cutie!

[@edysinsimon8646]

All I see is a hell of a lot of daffodils! So...When are these in the states?

[@regsparkes6507]

I dislike that stupid 'stop/start' feature in my '17 Escape, what a total pain in the butt, especially in stop and go traffic. Thank God I can turn it OFF. O.M.G. you think Ford would just have given us better fuel economy instead of that. I do wonder how much trouble we will have once the warranty is over.

[@donleamon8653]

So, what's the word on the 4x4 option for the US Roman?

[@TFLtruck]

Please watch the video, Roman says the 4x4 is coming to America with the same 4x4 system as the current Sprinter.

[@bthemedia]

@4:56 mentioned 4x4 coming but not when talking about body options

[@MetaView7]

Most people will love the power sliding door.

[@triviace]

I was wondering if,when you called your wife,you put your TuLips A Little Closer To The Phone?

[@anthonyc1883]

I liked the yellow one best, esp. the interior...until I saw that downright frightening shift lever!

[@rogerlafaille9938]

Hey awsome that you were in my homeland! Groetjes

[@bryan7821]

My Chevy Colorado Z71 voice command actually works. I thought the Germans are supposed to be smart ? Haha !

[@gro_skunk]

I'm just here for the stroopwaffle

[@konstantinmalcev7463]

T1 - transporter 1 , best extra durable bus with no electronics at all except lights and heater fan , true commercial transport with no expensive care of it except engines (which could get 1000000 miles on it with no general repair needed ), still these old engines were many times cheaper in repair than new ones. And old sprinters were more durable against rust, new sprinters begin to rust next year after you bought it .

[@nicumarc5788]

One major reason i dont buy a sprinter here in United States is because they didn’t even tried to make available a manual transmission at least as an option!

[@adam1885282]

A van video about flowers and food

[@stevehvac1]

On the 3.0 needs excess cover firewall inside to get to all the parts that will break. Also make the van with registration option from inside truck if needed to get out of limp mode . Put the turbo were you can service it not in back. Lost soooooo much money driving mine its ridiculous. Mercedes should rethink I will be glad to fly over to help them rethink then it's a great investment. Until then money pit.

[@Defender_Tom]

So they’re taking away the high roof option in the US?

[@TFLtruck]

Yes

[@syxepop]

That sounds like the Transit will have no problems getting the whole US van market (Ford keeps piling the options, while the others keep eliminating them): GM has really no competition (no word on a new gen Express that does include light-duty variants), Nissan's is just the old Armada SUV platform (when's BOTH Cummins TD's [I4 and V8[ coming to the NV's?) and Fiat's (supposed to be Ram's, but Chrysler had very little input on 'em) has proven to be an inferior product. That's the state of the full-sized cargo van market in NoAm: Transit by half-a-mile ahead...

[@mcinkyt]

Radios with knobs are required

[@ideologicduck]

mcinkyt pretty sure this is the top end van they featured, if you have a company van it’ll be basis as hell with a stereo with bobs on.

[@ghostindamachine]

Welcome to my country

[@crazyhass84]

She only needs one package! Mine! Dang I need to visit holland!

[@1biggun712]

Seriously, an app for your phone to keep track of your van's information systems and to tell you which van to take anywhere!? Why can't you just look at the dashboard to see what the van's info is doing? and then check your phone for a text for other nessarry non-van essentials??

[@kain452005]

Just wish they were a bit wider...

[@danmurphy1994]

Elephant something 😂😂

[@edgarsbersons9127]

Don't care about any gizmos such as brake assist etc. Reliability is a must and engine lifespan is why I choose it over Ford. Hate engine shutdown feature, Arm rest should be as a standard and please make it less thief friendly.

[@BigDirtyBasterd]

Can you get the star back lit like on the cars? Do they have up fitter anything pre-wired?
