Just under 400 Mercedes dealers in the USA, not all work on sprinters, and almost never in rural areas. 3000 Ford dealers, all work on transits, and they are everywhere from big metro cities to rural towns.

If it’s a Ford, you’ll need all the repair shops you can find.

[@mikegaskin5542]

@@Al-pj4dj I had a Ford Transit Connect and the only non-routine repair it ever needed was a taillight module that went out because the sliding door track wore the wire out. Other than that it was a good vehicle.

[@Al-pj4dj]

@@mikegaskin5542 how many miles did you put on it?

[@richarde1355]

Reliability is arguably the most important feature for me. I don’t ever hear anyone talking about this. I work for a municipality, and the Transit vans are used as fleet vans. I saw some guys loading one up to head out for the day and asked them about it, and they said the vans had some serious mechanical issues, consistent across all their vans. I didn’t ask what year van, but it was interesting to note. An awesome floor plan is great, but if the rig is often at the mechanic or is broken down, not so great.

[@rcpmac]

Don't get the sprinter if you want to be able to get repairs in the boondocks. BTW when you bring the sprinter in for anything, you have to sign an agreement that authorizes the dealer to do up to $1000 in service or repair!

[@WHATEVERPEN]

It would have been MUCH better if you asked why or what are the break downs, without them saying it’s not realistic that they break down a lot..

In Europe the RAM comes as Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper they have fantastic diesel engines that are rated to 2.5milion miles without a problem and are very economic with 28 to 30 mpg (us). Those are the most popular versions in Europe as they are by far wider (than Sprinter and Transit) you can sleep widthwise. They are also 4x4 versions that they are using the dangel 4x4 system. I hope that now that Stellantis (PSA group and Fiat that owns the RAM) to bring diesel versions soon.

[@scottpearce7466]

Fiats diesel wont pass US emissions & it's simply to expensive for such a small market to improve iti. Plus as Chryslers parent company they use Chryslers drivetrain in the states (that was agreed upon when Fiat took over). Pentastar 3.6L 280hp V6 & Chrysler 9spd automatic. Remember all the fiats are 1.8L diesel & manual transmissions only.

FORD TRANSIT BEYOND Is the best with back fold down bed!!...it has the most storage.💗💗💗

[@larrygee5090]

Hank, thanks for you and Nick, from Sunshine State to talk about the three different chassis models.

[@DanOnWheels]

I’m a hard no on the Dodge Promaster because of it being front wheel drive (FWD). FWD makes since in a car because the main passengers/weight is up front along with the engine/drivetrain, so you get good traction. However, in a van, especially an RV with fresh water, gray and black tanks at 8 lbs per gallon, the majority of weight is in the back, taking weight off the front making less traction. This is why people in Promaster’s get stuck in wet grass and even have trouble using MaxTrax Recovery Boards. I currently have a Dodge Grand Caravan (minivan) with a wheelchair accessible lowered floor fold out ramp, which adds weight to the back, and my front drive wheels will spin driving 75 mph on wet pavement going up a slight hill. I’m looking at the AWD Transit. You can also get a true 4x4 Quigley conversion with a lift kit on the Transit for anyone wanting an off road van.

[@AJourneyOfYourSoul]

You are absolutely right. People think fwd is better, but in a van, weighted down in the back, fwd is awful. I was at a tiny fest and the parking lot got a little muddy, all the promasters had issues getting out. For weighted down vans, rwd is better than fwd, awd/4wd even better.

[@danielmedlin1045]

[@genxskeptic5816]

I drive a fiat promaster at work. For my personal use, I wouldn’t touch one with a ten foot pole. I understand that Ford has fixed the issue with rainwater draining directly on some of the electronics under the hood and the new all wheel drive and eco boost are also great upgrades. I’ve heard no complaints about the Mercedes except the cost of maintenance.

[@genxskeptic5816]

@Dave Silver Chrysler has always made good looking and impressive vehicles, but the longevity and quality workmanship is just poor these days. The Daimler Chrysler partnership improved quality, but the Fiat ownership is just bad. Own one for 5 or 6 years, then dump it before it starts falling apart. General Motors is heading in the same direction. Nissan isn’t doing very well either.

[@genxskeptic5816]

@Dave Silver Most likely a Transit. I’d love the Mercedes, but a simple oil change or tranny service is $$$😬. Also, I tend to be a destination camper. I’ll go to my destination and stay for an extended period, then return. That may change after I retire.

[@dnodoz1753]

Only select Mercedes dealers have technicians that can work on Sprinter vans. If you break down your repair choices are very limited. If I were do another Class B it would be a Ford just for that reason.

[@Davidnprogress2]

Nice job on these videos. I like that the Ford has an AWD option, a spare tire and extensive dealer support. The more I learn, the more I lean towards the Ford. Mercedes only if wanting 4x4 like the Storyteller.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Storyteller is BS

You can get AWD on the Transit or convert it to a 4x4. Unlike the Promaster which doesn't come with either or can't be converted.

[@alecmurray4921]

@@RockAndGrohlMe there are other differences, too. But my point (which I could have been clearer on) was that while it was stated in the video that Transit-based B-class RVs were all 22’, Pleasure-way has one on the non-extended version. I actually own a 2020 Beyond, built on the 2019 Transit chassis. AWD only became available on the 2020 chassis. The Beyond so far has been a pleasure to own.

Similarly, are all 2021 coaches ONLY built on the 2020 chassis? I am envious… I really want a Beyond, but I assume a glut of barely used RVs will go on the market in the next one or two years lol.

[@R2X2Z]

For a family of 4, the best value for money that we can enjoy now and not wait until we're at retirement age (in our 40s), we went with RAM Promaster. For the best layout, price, features we went with Thor 20AT with pop-top and lithium battery system. Only one of the few that can claim can sit 4 people and sleep 4 comfortably for a Class B RV. I've looked and this was the best class B for what we're looking for. Considered Roadtrek Slumber and Winnebago Solis PX was our close 2nd but didn't have lithium option and missing some features (no TV, awning etc).

I believe Ford now offers the RV Transit Chassis with a diesel option.

[@cyclinggospel5307]

Van-Do-It makes great ford transit based RV conversion. They make truly flexible model for true wilderness goers. I seriously looked into it until lately. Their models are based on modular design, and you can take sections in and out, and change design for occasion and use. Totally different revolutionary concept!

[@victortorres3776]

I own a 5.3L V8 Chevy express conversion van and my highway mileage isn’t much different than the v6 vans I can get upwards of 25 mpg and it’s nearly 30 years old to boot. You just have to evaluate your needs

[@toddwhited4833]

There needs to be more fuel-efficient options like they have in other countries diesel , hybrid etc. parts and labor on a Mercedes-Benz are very high.

[@sasstewart1222]

If you are over 6' 1", the Ford is your only option. (6' 6" vs 6' 2" for the ram / mercedes)

[@bobshoe1]

The Dodge chassis is still far behind the Ford. No adaptive cruise control which makes driving long distances more tiring. The drivers seating position barely tilts back enough to sit comfortably pushing you over the steering wheel. To tilt it a bit more the entire seat tilts. I’m 5’6” with a 28” inseam and barely had enough room in the drivers seat. The steering wheel moves in and out but does not tilt. So you have a more horizontal steering wheel than the more vertical ones we are used to in all cars and the Mercedes and Ford vans. The dashboard navigation screen is ridiculously small and looks like ten year old technology. It lacks Apple car play or Android auto. The one thing I found with the Dodge is that it is quick and Nimble and can park most anywhere. The transmission is rough and the vehicle is a jerk a minute drive. The Dodge chassis desperately needs to be updated to at least 2020 standards. They may call it a Dodge but it really is a Fiat. The line of Fiat Ducato full-size vans are sold as Ram ProMaster vans in North America.

[@auroranite]

I don’t like Ram or Transit because they don’t have engine hood bump out to protect in accident. Like the old VW van. Sprinter does have that added protection and MB good safety record. Plus its the most nimble driving. Great comparison👍

[@polepole9066]

The RAM being larger, it’s easier to fit a bed sleeping sideways, while the others the bed often needs to be oriented front-back for 6 ft plus people to fit. The Sprinter needs the window bubbles to fit a bed sideways.

[@richdv6800]

Leisure Travel Van (LTV) has the Wonder that’s also built on the Ford chassis with a bunch of floor plans, however delivery is 18-24 months!

[@RockAndGrohlMe]

That's on a cutaway chassis, so it's a Class C (some call it a B+...but it's a C).

[@k.pacificnw02134]

I live near Portland Oregon. They can't keep Promasters in stock. There's the microchip shortage problem, due to the covid supply chain eff-ups, and more people that want to do the #vanlife thing, and even preppers ready to live off grid.

[@wkw4095]

Folks, if you're trying to decide. I can give you a quality perspective you may want to consider. Best: Sprinter Better: Transit Worst: Promaster. Actually the 2021 and older Promaster has a huge issue with the transmission. It will give you trouble guaranteed....over and over. I'm a Ram loyal customer too. As a matter a fact I would still consider it for the fact it's cheap and my dealership is a couple miles away. Also, the 2022 and up have a new improved Transmission...I wonder why ;) Still, everything about it is cheaply made compared to the others.

My question: does the height and high center of gravity of the Mercedes affect stability on turns and in high wind situations?

[@victortorres3776]

Like all high top vehicles cross winds can be dangerous if you’re not experienced at driving them. Even in class b Rv setup and they will still be too heavy in relation to their weight. Choose what suits your needs and become very familiar with your vehicle to avoid serious problems in driving them during inclement weather

Probably going promaster due to it's price. Given that it's the most square option though, I wish they'd offer roof reinforcement options that extend through the roof with some rails. That way an upper deck can be easily added for more space when out places. Or easier installation of solar, if the tubes are hollow with some access ports on top to run wiring. Like with 4 posts and 2 "X" arches welded to the frame. ***it's also going to allow for an easy top mounted water reservoir if one so choses. Could even just extended it through the floor and raise that up to run all the electrical down there as well.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

In the San Francisco Bay area all I see are Sprinters. I’m doing my own conversion and surprisingly there was very little availability of Ford transit’s earlier this year when I was looking and if they had one they wanted a lot of money even for passenger vans, which nobody’s buying for hauling passengers. I could’ve bought a 1919, 170 inch wheelbase tall top sprinter in black that already had 2000 W inverter and a second battery and possibly a second alternator installed in it with 750 miles and complete factory warranty from the dealership in San Francisco. It had been ordered along with a bunch of others by a company that no longer needed them because they were renting them out for touring bands. They were selling the last two for $50,000 each even though they had a $63,000 sticker price and $7000 worth of additions. My financing fell through so I lost out on that but I end up getting a 2020 black tall top passenger van 2500 4x4 with 5500 miles. It’s very tall and someone had run it at low speed into an awning like at Burger King so it was totaled by the insurance company and didn’t come with a warranty but it had a sticker price of over $63,000 and there are no tall top 4x4s for sale in the whole US And it was exactly what I wanted I wanted a passenger van because I wanted the windows all around and I want it black and it had most of the accessories that you could want. I saved a ton of money and whenever I do any alteration to it I don’t have to worry is this going to affect my warranty. I can always buy an aftermarket warranty. Biggest downside to a branded title vehicle that was still under warranty when it was totaled is you have to pay cash.

[@pmarker]

DIY is the way to go, cheaper and better than all these poorly built, overpriced factory vans. If if you hire a local handyman, you will come ahead. However, if you are going to travel in a hot region, you may not want too many windows.

[@TheCamper83]

High Altitude Headwind management should be a category. I don't think the Ram can handle high headwinds at high altitudes as well as the Turbo Diesel Sprinter or the Ecoboost Ford. The Ram will have to downshift and rev higher to manage those headwinds. Just my 2 cents.

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

To be honest, while the promaster may be the widest, I don't like how under powered the van is esp loaded up, followed by its ONLY fwd. Lifting options arent exactly meant to go to the worst of places. One of my daughters had 2 pro master builds she did after she got out of the Marines, one was heavy wooded framed interior like most rv's and home builds. Other was a alum tube framing interior, with alum sheet paneling and carbon fiber. Even as light as the second one was, both had issues up on her property in Montana, esp in the winter. She currently has a 2021 Story Teller Overland Beast Mode, and a 2022 Winnebago Revel for her husband. She just got a Transit 350 awd, she will be using air suspension and etc on to build a mild yet capable of load sustainment and safe handling while on road. Shes going alum interior framing for furniture and alum for paneling. But the transit will serve as her race rig to haul her Mazda RX7 (LSX 454 Turbo), and a Miata (honda k28 turbo crate motor...), and her bikes to race events. I really wish Ram had gone with a diesel 4x4 re designed variant, or a gas turbo awd variant. Their current offering is lacking. I still remember when you did pew pew reviews! Do you still have the challenger? Yall should do hot rod power tour next year and do the multi state cruise with a van! My son had a cummins swapped uhaul truck, he converted into his boxtruck life rig, was 90% done this past hot rod power tour. He had as a support vehicle to his wifes, Mazda Miata widebody, with an LT4 swap and carbon widebody, it broke down after over heating issues, and ended up having to get a trailer to haul the miata home after the event hahaha. Love the new direction and content but miss the strange pew pew coverage! Hopefully see yall at shot show this year!

I wouldn't want to be beholden to Mercedes, the Ram is so ugly, so that leaves the Ford. Tall, long, all wheel drive Dually. The only one I'd choose.
