The rain makes the Merc look even more beautiful. My buddy has a 4matic assembled in America- goes like a rocket. Love it.

[@joemattes8389]

You guys put out the best reviews.

[@atlanta50]

I remember when we brought the Sprinter to the U.S. through Freightliner. Initially it was to meet a requirement from FedEx for a smaller van. FedEx’s commitment to purchase, maintain and support those initial units was instrumental to the initial success of the Sprinter. They were the pilot customer in the U.S. although they had operated them in Europe. The vision and commitment of Lynn Gorman, FedEx’s v.p. of ground equipment, was the key.

[@MetaView7]

are they still using Sprinters?

[@chasesmith4189]

MetaView7 I still see them

[@RichardJohnson-sg3vo]

Yes with the 4 cyl diesel..ONLY because of MPG reliability is second when you run the miles we do.

[@checker3694]

The V6 in sprinter is a pointless engine, always has been, Solely for North America market where big is best mentality. Modern efficiency rules large commercial diesels pointless. In Europe a Bmw 2.0 4 cylinder diesel produces between 190 to 240 bhp on a single or twin turbo 0 to 60 in 7.5 or 6.8 sec up to 140mph and 55mpg on highway. I remember a late 80s Chevy 350 v8 irocs z making less power, what a pile of shit they were , only car worse than them were the Russian Ladas.

[@racrx7]

And now Amazon Prime is buying them up. Our Sprinter dealership, right in the back yard of MB North Charleston, never has a large inventory of Sprinters. Either supply is low or just not a big demand for them here??

[@zmolls]

Love this videos guys! By far the most comprehensive reviews of trucks out there! Hey, could you please do a video on the towing capacity of vans? Maybe a comparison between the Sprinter and Promaster? Thanks.

[@dieselmechanix]

I work for Salt Lake Express for 9 yrs as a mechanic Service and maintenance on Mercedes-Benz sprinter and they reach pass 700k miles on original engine, burn little oil over times at high miles, best reliable van I ever seen Thank god the engine design still the same, I don’t like the look of the new transmission shifter at all

[@benthead]

There is a lot to be desired in the interior cabin design. It is very American looking in design. Not attractive. You cannot out lipstick in a pig.

[@revgordon91]

That's neat! I didn't even know that Mercedes had a plant near Charleston! Love the features also. Great review Andre!

[@CoelhoSports]

benz, bmw and now volvo. benz also has a place in bama

[@JDMHaze]

I'm sure they have some repair shops there too

[@Buxtonphil]

So is volvo and bmw is in spartinburg

[@JETZcorp]

The limo company I work for has 2 Sprinters, a 2nd-gen and one of these new ones. The biggest change for me is the driver seat; the older one feels like it's tilted forward, and you can only raise the rear to make that problem even worse. Makes it easy to get in and out of, life if you're on a mail route, but it's pretty agonizing on an 8hr drive. The new one has more adjustment and is much better for it. General experience with both has been good; they're low-maintenance and use a TON less fuel than, say, a V10 E-450 it replaces. The Transit lacks the Mercedes badge for limo work. That wasn't a problem the Econoline had with the same badge, but hey, brand cachet never was rational in the first place. As a driver, the big thing I notice is the turbo lag on the 3.0 OM642 engine. Holy God. It makes a 250cc 2-stroke feel smooth and linear. The newer one has a power and torque display on the infotainment screen - when the turbo comes on it goes from 120lb-ft to 324 in about 1 second. If you're trying to make a tight left onto a busy street, you're going to be making an insurance claim. Zero to just 10mph takes like 5 seconds, just because it's so hopeless for those first 2,000 revs. One nice feature of the newer one is the 7-speed transmission instead of the old 5-speed. The 5-speed is smoother if we're honest, but the top gear is shorter than a Civic. We're talking 2,800rpm at 65mph, in an engine that redlines at 4k. Has to be that way to deal with the turbo. The 7-speed is turning more like 2,200, which is a much happier place for the engine and contributes to a very impressive increase in fuel economy, bolstered further by a larger fuel tank.

[@CarsAndZebras]

Has any one else noticed this "van life" trend the last year or 2? It's..... interesting. They love these Sprinter vans.

[@thisspotrules3631]

@@sgbradley way b4 the "glampers"!

[@TobyCostaRica]

Yeah, they’re really easy to drive and get great mpg when they work. Too many emissions issues and oil changes are $200

[@MrBertstare]

Have you priced any other oil changes lately? Ford or GM diesel trucks? GM gas trucks? What are you expecting? 8.00 oil changes on a $40k (bare bones) diesel van? Plus you can go well over 10,000 miles

[@TobyCostaRica]

MrBertstare no but I can make up a ridiculous number to support my point though? It’s higher cost of parts and labor rates of MBz dealerships. So you’re saying cost per mile is equal with Ford? I’m sure that’s why all the initial Sprinter fleets have been replaced now that buyers have options. Google Sprinter emissions issues and you’ll figure out way.

[@MrBertstare]

no need to google, replaced my 2006 with 256k miles with a 2014 with 50k miles. Love my vans, loved my duramax trucks too but to get pissy about expensive oil changes on a diesel is ridiculous. All oil changes are expensive, new honda accord? almost a 100 bucks, chevy cruz, same, most new vehicles require a synthetic oil to maintain the powertrain warranty, most synthetic oil changes on passenger cars are creeping on a 100 bucks. As far as speaking with fleet guys its a love hate relationship with any of the eurostyle vans. We service all makes and models and its pretty even on the amount of bitching we hear on the transits and the sprinters. only one that out weighs them all is the promaster guys, still have yet to meet a pleased driver/owner/fleet manager.

[@AnomadAlaska]

Great review. I loved the pictures flying though all the interior features, A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say. I hope you can get one of these back to Colorado for a fuel economy test and "Ike Gauntlet" like you guys do with the pickups.

[@P_double_H]

I would love to buy one and convert it into a tiny house for when going on vacation!

[@VanBae]

Lets get you a new Sprinter van! Come see me VAN BAE :)

[@westeed1]

Get a transit. I just lost my ass on a conversion I did which was followed by a failed cp4 fuel pump which require the entire fuel system to be replaced. Over 16k. Traded it in.

[@rayjones3212]

I am so looking forward to seeing a overall review on the gasoline powered version of the 2019 Sprinter. And I for one, appreciate that the shift lever was moved to the steering column as in this configuration it won't get in the way of my right knee! Nice Job.

[@Evanderj]

Ray Jones I don’t like the new column shifter. Really loved its position on the first gen T1N. Put it in park yesterday rolling through an intersection trying to de-ice the windshield. 🤦‍♂️

[@brianschott8162]

Just bought a 2021 Midwest Automotive Designs Passage 170 which is sitting on a dually 2019 Sprinter 3500XD chassis. Excited take delivery tomorrow and get on the highway with it!

[@sneakerfreak2002]

I just drove a brand new sprinter 1200 kms this weekend. Best van ever

[@cottagegymfun]

Can you please do a driving comparison on the top Vans such as sprinter, promaster, and the transit? How they drive and handle would be super appreciated!

I have a 2006 "Freightliner" Sprinter Gulfstream RV. It looks dated but what a quality driving experience the sprinter is.

[@timborgenheimer269]

I have a 2006 sprinter with 372000 Miles runs and drives perfect, needs just cosmetic attention. It's my full time home I love it. # Vanlife

[@richardziemies8373]

I will keep my 3500 Chevy Cab Chassis with the 6.6 liter diesel-powered v8. Has 16 ft. Van body. 8 speed transmission for my own livable rv and expediting van. Even has a locking rear differental.

[@racrx7]

From one Andre to another, welcome to my back yard:) Thanks for the tour of the 2019 Sprinter. I think our MB dealer here is ashamed of Sprinters because they keep so few in stock. (Charleston has become a bit snobbish). They need a better representation here, especially since the plant is in their own back yard. Doesn't make any sense to have to drive all over just to check them out.

[@tyrelldavidson7738]

Great video thank you

[@wynnloftis365]

I drive a 2014 4cyl. Sprinter for work delivering products all over southern california...it has 322,000 miles on it...no rust. Gets an average of 24 mpg. I may be in the minority here but I love mine and will buy another when the time comes for it.

[@carlitosfafilos]

you are not in minority, I am driving my 8 yrs old Sprinter, 160 000 miles in So Cal as well, and only just recently had to replace all glow plugs. That's it. No other problems whatsoever. No rust. I have the 6 cylinder, so mileage is not that great, averaging 19 mpg but loaded with construction materials. Still better than Ford gasoline engine. I am anxiously waiting for this new one. I am first in line.

[@scottdavis5749]

I have a 2007 freightliner diesel 190k miles and have had very few issues. Gets 18 mpg@73mph.

[@GoneWalkabout]

Thinking they don’t use much road salt in SoCal.....they that in Michigan...

[@igorromanyuk8467]

I do own one of those really nice vehicle it really in high maintenance usually something wrong with dpf or EGR swells only dealer can fix or some shops who has license from Mercedes dealer it is a little bit costly

[@sumporfuk]

Great review. I’ve been thinking about a Mercedes van ever since I saw them in China about 5 years ago. It seems like they’ve been updated quite a bit over the past few years. They have never been the cheapest option, probably more like the most expensive but from my point of view you get so much more for the money that you spend. I like it

[@Terror1Void]

They're actually the same price as a transit.

[@westeed1]

Buy a ford

[@ZimaletaMotors]

Great Video

[@Origen17]

Wow - I bet that guy is one heck of a first tenor!

[@jonashoferichter]

i drive one as delivery guy, super reliable but it is a 2006 model with over 900k km on the watch. Only real problem is the old handbrake...Would buy a new one directly

[@marywrong7041]

In Europe, they need a narrow van due to their narrow streets, but in America we need a wider van. This will help with the over turning in a high cross wind situation. The cross wind stabilizer may flip the high top over on to it side easier. The high cost of repairs for Sprinters is a big draw back. There are more Ford dealers available for any repairs and it is cheaper in maintenance.

[@evilz33]

I have a ram 2500 Cummins. Gonna make the 4x4 crew van my next rig.

[@erikgonzalez2278]

I've always liked these MB vans and Frightliner vans driving one for work if I owned a fleet I'd get a MB van there oil change intervals are some crazy 25k miles.

[@justanotheraviator2357]

They are truly amazing quality vehicles

[@westeed1]

20 k… but after 100k mechanics say to cut that back to 8-10.

[@chrisp9859]

I drive the 2.0 Turbo gas 2500 for work. It’s seriously lacking in power. That’s why it has so many gears, to keep the engine in the powerband. Funny thing though, its computer keeps the RPMs around and below 2k rpm which makes it feel sluggish. I highly recommend driving with the paddle shifters. It gets agile around 2500rpm.

[@bigjohn606]

Does anyone else prefer the days when a van was just a van, basic workhorses, basic mechanics, handles for winding down the windows and a price tag that meant that independent tradesmen didn't have to work like a dog to pay for it.

[@nathanreimer1296]

Then industries wanted more money, my 1988 car has everything i need minus cupholders

[@LouAntonioGiordano]

Chevy Express is still in production

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

No I don't miss those days. Those old trash vans were a dog to drive. Give me a Sprinter any day!

[@krayzel]

When an average midsized SUV costs about $33k, a big Mercedes cargo van that starts at around $35k isn't that expensive. Your mind must be still probably stuck in the 90s or 80s. Cars overall nowadays are actually not significantly expensive despite inflation. And if you want something cheaper, there's plenty of used ones between $20k and $30k.

[@tonymontana6734]

No

[@ItsJosh]

The only reason I see companies paying the premium for a Sprinter is if they need a big van. Transit is a big van but the longest Transit is still almost 2 feet shorter than the the Sprinter. For most configurations a Transit is a no brainer, the base 3.7 has enough punch for say a high roof 2500 and you still have the diesel and the big 3.5 ecoboost. The highest configurable Transit falls several thousand short of a loaded Sprinter.

[@DB-xc3jc]

Eco is a gas hog

[@rockybear702]

But the transit is just plain garbage. I drove tested all the full size van and it's no brainier the Sprinter is twice the van

[@binhoselminhatube8763]

Nossa, essa nova Sprinter é um sonho! Tenho sprinter também, e vou comprar uma dessa, se DEUS quiser...

[@mikeceli]

Nice video. I prefer the Ford due to lower cost or service and repairs. Ford has approx. 13,000 dealers in the USA, MB approx. 320.

[@MikeMikeSmith]

I wonder if they changed the body rotting to pieces? I remember seeing these “Dodge” Sprinter vans when Daimler Chrysler was a thing... And they always seemed to fall ill with Michigan cancer and paint delamination.

I really like the sprinter van this was a great video the only thing that I would like to see is more towing capacity with the Mercedes and preferably an exhaust break for when you're up in the mountains

[@jonathanchartrand3351]

Excellent review, straight to the point. Regarding the vehicle itself, I'm concerned about the power of the smaller engine versions of the passenger vans. I'm thinking of starting a business where I would be traveling and transporting about 12 passengers and I'm concerned about power. I know turbocharged engines deliver more power, but they also run very hot with possible engine and turbocharge issues. Any thoughts?

[@asdfasdf4345artsdfg]

These things are absolutely all over the place, where I live. Lots of companies small and big are employing them, and there are even people living in them. Frankly, it's quite annoying... but, I can't deny how cool these things are.

[@jotsingh8917]

I loved my Sprinter Sportsmobile conversion....however Mercedes neglected to establish a world class network of in dependent sprinter DIESEL shops. That leaves a person to limp mode to the next MB dealer and a repair bill that gives a person nosebleed. Even though the Chevy Express is shoddy work it is easy to repair from Anchorage to Miami.

[@Evanderj]

Very cool and great review. These types of vans with high roofs are used by motorcycle racers. They're all expensive like all trucks but good that this is made in US.

[@sumporfuk]

CPUspeed hauling 2 or 3 motorcycles around is one of the main reasons I was looking at it

[@harysuper]

I’ve always loved the sprinter but I’ve never been a huge fan of the Ford Transit, I do like the connect though. I for some reason prefer the Express and Savana from GM. I drove the Savana and have ridden in the others and the GM vans are old school but really aren’t that bad to drive.

[@jonpetter8921]

Ford Transit was build in Europe for European. It s modelled on european van concept. So in reality it s very close to Mercedes Transit. Same with Dodge ProMAster.

If the Promaster is anything like the original Fiat Ducato/ Citroen Jumper / Peugeot Boxer, I'd stay far away from it if electrical problems is not your favorite thing. They are plagued with all sorts of mysterious gremlins especially when the outside temp is hovering around 0°C.

I used dually pickup trucks for years to pull cattle trailers, then in the 90's I noticed you could buy a one ton pickup truck with single rear tires, so I thought why pay for two more tires if I didn't need them, so I bought one. I immediately found out that four tires on the rear of a truck makes a huge difference with a heavy load, I didn't have that single tire one ton very long before going back to dually's

The company I work for has a 2014 and a 2020. The new one legit gets AT LEAST 50% better range on a tank. The top gear is much much taller for one thing, and although I don't know the specs, I swear it's a bigger tank too. The '14 might do Portland to Bend and back, but only just. The new one will do Portland to Bend, plus a 6hr tour out there, and back with fuel to spare.

[@Z06redvett]

They fully jacked up the front end of this new Sprinter, the headlights look way too small / narrow for that big front end. The previous gen looks way better and more to proportion....

[@jlcii]

nice to see Mercedes Benz drop the price on the Sprinter, too bad it is still at a serious performance disadvantage when compared to the more powerful Transit. Yes sure, it can haul more, and that matters to those that it matters too. But for the mainstream market, it does matter that even the base Transit packs almost a hundred more horsepower and two more cylinders.

[@bigDOGKUJO]

That only the body is assembled in South Carolina with step by step instructions that come from Mercedes but the engines and transmissions are all made and assembled in Germany the only reason they’re doing this is to avoid tax

[@marnusventer651]

Ryan Ramos What you are referring to is called an SKD Plant (Semi-Knocked Down). They used to be one, but since the $500million expansion they are now a full assembly plant. Engines and Transmissions are rarely assembled in the same facility as the vehicle (unless you’re in a boutique vehicle like Zonda or Koenigsegg) as they are simple a part for the vehicle. Just ask the BMW Plant, and Volvo plants also located in SC 😁

[@sdearing6375]

Did you ever test a 2019 with the gas engine?

[@evilcnil]

When they find a hack to the computer controller so the DPF can be deleted , I'll definitely buy one. Made in USA too, that should solve any rust problems caused from overseas shipping. Parts should cost a lot less also.

[@Leatherkid01]

They already do......i dont remember what its called but search SCR and dpf delete kits

[@mistamaog]

I'm watching this because my next job uses these

[@spazoq]

Nice rundown! But getting a Transit fixed will always be far cheaper than getting a Sprinter fixed. In a fleet of vehicles, those costs really add up. Until Mercedes does something about that, Sprinter will always be an also ran.

[@westeed1]

Yep, when the cp4 fuel pump fails in a sprinter it’s over 16k to repair them. Speaking from experience.

How has the poor paint quality and rust problems been resolved ? I've owned two Mercedes Benz Sprinter's and those two problems were VERY bad. Also dealers are very limited. I live in Upstate New York and we only have one dealer in the area and others are more than 50 miles away. Many electrical problems as well. Have these problems been resolved as well ?

[@marceldeman1541]

Don't buy a diesel there emissions system sucks. we had a def level fault come on and took it in to Mercedes and of course it was not just the def level indicator it was the whole def system needs to be replaced. and of course the extended warranty did not cover it because it is emissions and that is not covered. So over 6000.00 later they can fix it and give you a 90 day warranty , on there work. looking on the internet it seems there is a problem with this system, I have seen a lot of comments on it. Maybe the should move the plant back to Germany where the workers are proud of there product not just looking for a big union paycheck

Marcel Deman Until Merc reinvents the whole system, you can’t rely on a new Sprint that hasn’t been kitted, unfortunately. But, thankfully~ there is a fix. Rawtek sells a DEF delete kit~ exhaust, resonators, etc. Bye, Bye DPF... But, yes- pre 2008 Gen1’s like my 2.7litre CDI with over 350k miles are sensational. The classic Sprinters are a marvel. Also, a heck of a lot quicker & with better economy than the new 2019 Diesel 4x4 170 that’s been in my driveway for a just a few days now. 😁 The new ones do, however, feel like a dream to drive. Damn, I love being in it. I love looking at it. But, you can’t do either when it’s in the shop, curtesy of the Gremlins installed free of charge right at the factory.

You never experienced crosswind assist. I can tell. If you would have - your voice would have sounded totally different and you would have elaborated on it ..... coming back to the chicago area from nebraska last month, i had the questionable joy to whitness it at work on black ice. Lets put it his way. Tons of people in the ditch and in the median on i 80 and i am here back at home. First time that that crosswind assist got to work in dry weather daylight as i was going from milwaukee to chicago and i was going 80 mhp i almost had a brown spot in my pants. As the crosswind assist applys the break on only one front wheel at 80 mph whithout any warning it is a feeling that definitly takes some gettine use to..... as other vehicles where blown 1 lane over on the interstate at the same time in the same place, MY SPRINTER NEVER LEFT MY LANE it drove perfectly stright ... all i can say - on a vehilcle that size and i have ling wb high roof it is a feature that i didnt ask for, that i didnt know about but apparently 2014 and newer all of them have that built in standard .... it is one of the greatest features i have ever experienced!!!

[@Evanderj]

ZILA Exactly!! I’m glad you reminded me of that. The driving assistance tech in current gen sells it on the first test drive. Especially in 4x4 Passenger suspension config. Feels safer than anything else I’ve ever driven. Glad your Sprinter saved you, Z.

Cross wind assist sucks, No shit. You got home because you can drive. Pricks hit ditches!

[@yosquidd242]

@@DoubleA115 it is easy to hit ditches driving vans at 80 mph! when windy. SMH

Unrelated to the van. If you are ever in Charleston (aka Chucktown) you have to eat at The Tattooed Moose and The Hominy Grill. At the Tattooed Moose you have to try their fries, they fry them in duck fat.

[@DB-xc3jc]

No one, calls it Chucktown, well, maybe, dims from the north!

Why o why is there no crew cab for the chassis cab, like they have in Europe.

[@JDMHaze]

Stephen fielden Because it's America and Mercedes wants you to buy two,

[@testify221]
