2023 AWD SPRINTER VAN TOUR! | Storyteller Classic Mode

[@amorton94]

DEF systems are the dumbest thing. How the EPA figured that making a diesel less fuel efficient is better for the environment is beyond me.

[@overlandingturtle8480]

🥲

[@dpl2617]

You answered your own question. It's the EPA (Fed Government) bureaucratic disaster 💩💩

[@codymatheny9387]

I can't wait to see what adventures you have with this! I loved all of the Satvan videos!

[@murrayindustries9663]

Keep the van content coming!!

[@PezRacer]

Congrats, looking forward to seeing more videos about this ‘23!

[@happiknife7716]

The van is awesome, the electrical system sounds pretty great 👍 love the content as always ✌️

[@lindamiller5972]

Ours is in Production now so keep it coming-we need more info like handling off road etc

[@Adventurousmurse]

There used to be a cubby under the passenger’s side airbag (glovebox area), but it’s now covered. Is that covered storage or blanked off space now. 3:05

[@TalonSei]

It’s a capped compartment. Won’t be long until someone makes an insert so it’s functional.

[@tankdiesel9738]

That’s a bad ass piece of equipment for people that can afford it 👍

[@troysei8290]

Love it. Yup !

[@claystil1]

Disappointing to not see one of the better 12v ac's on a model in this price range. Plenty of good models on the market for a couple years, now.

[@ibjm]

can't wait to hear your review on the new AWD system and the performance of the engine.

[@mehshh]

What is the interest rate on something like that? how do they rate it?

[@TalonSei]

You can get financing like an RV loan over 20 years which actually makes it pretty accessible for most people.

[@WorldwideDarts]

Would you actually have to drive to charge the system or could you idle?

[@TalonSei]

Drive or high idle

[@jlatreille08]

Great video! Can you tell me the AMP hours capacity stock from storyteller? We are thinking about buying one and we are trying to learn and can't find it on their website?

[@TalonSei]

It’s a 48volt system but roughly 1,000 amp hours.

[@Smallbore2wheels]

Hell yeah! Pretty interesting updates on this model

[@EVERYDAYPANDA]

Looking forward to the deep dive videos! keep em coming!! Thanks 💪🏾

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Cool van

[@noahklein360]

If you don't mind could you please take a photo and post the fuel requirements (at the fuel cap), I'm interested in the diesel fuel requirements. Is it B20 compatible?

[@TalonSei]

Bio diesel should be avoided as per Mercedes-Benz recommendation.

[@noahklein360]

@@TalonSei the only issue is B5 vs B20 diesel. I haven't heard of MB giving an opinion on Bio-Diesel. Do you have a link? Would you mind taking a snapshot of the fuel requirements listed on the fuel closure door?

[@TalonSei]

Can’t post photos on KZbin comments. You can find it online tho

[@noahklein360]

@@TalonSei No problem, I'll look for one.

[@livefreevinnie]

I love my STO MODE LT.

[@scottmcbride4652]

How’s the new engine?

[@deronderohn2377]

Did you sell your SATVAN?

[@kevmonty1]

Care to explain why not the Mode LT version (Ford)? Thank you!

[@TalonSei]

I prefer the Mercedes chassis. More aftermarket support for the things that I want to do with this van. LT is also a good option, just not for me.

[@kevmonty1]

@@TalonSei Thank you! have a great vacation. Looking forward to your next one.

[@fredzuccarelli]

Binge watched your videos.....very cool, informative content!!! Sub'd!!! This is a great layout and might work for my specific needs. I'm looking for a van with an opportunity to carry my bmw rNINE t motorcycle inside the van when I'm travelling. Do you by chance know if the payload will allow for an additional 500 lbs inside....or if I have to.....on a hitch off the back? Keep the great content coming!!!!

[@aal9207]

I want to know your thoughts on the pickup sprinter from mercedes. Did you see it.

[@tacopusher1]

Sai, any rattles under the galley cabinet or slider door on your new rig? We have been trying for days to eliminate some rattles that are like fingernails on a chalkboard.

[@TalonSei]

Nothing out of the ordinary. STOs are some of the quietest van builds I’ve ever ridden in.

[@tacopusher1]

@@TalonSei 🤙

[@VanDoghies]

Perfect breakdown of the Mode Classic! How are you liking the gas mileage vs your other van?

[@TalonSei]

It’s better as of now! About 16-17mpg across the country. We will see how it odds when

[@twanderson41480]

How do you like the 4 cylinder diesel?

[@TalonSei]

It’s been great, I’ll be making a full video about it in the future

[@keithtrujillo]

Would like to check this thing out if you’re ever in the Phoenix AZ area. Super cool and and has me asking myself if I need one 🤔

[@TalonSei]

I’m in Phoenix AZ right now 😆

[@keithtrujillo]

@@TalonSei 😮

[@HarryKuloh]

What's happening to your previous van?

[@TalonSei]

It will probably go to a new home or be rented

[@nomadak907]

@@TalonSei if you sold the SAT Van, do you know what you would ask for it?

[@TalonSei]

A lot 😆

it looks awesome!

Do you still have the older van?

For now

Good video, cool van, thanks!!!

Congrats on the new Storyteller! Will you be doing a comparo to the Revel/SATVAN? Look forward to the updates as you share in the new Mode!!

Bro you are spoiling us rotten with so much yummy content! Is the STO your new ride or is this just a project vehicle???

😂 the revel is likely going to a new home or being rented to friends / family

[@rickmodlin8327]

Love the van Talon! Sorry I'm missing you this year at ShredFest. Can't believe I'm stuck in Mammoth!

[@PWade-tr7cd]

I dont understand why they make a smoke/CO2 detectors in a single unit. Smoke rises and CO2 is heavier than air and settles to the lowest point it can find. both will kill you. Moke and CO2 detectors should be separate units and go in two separate lcations.

[@selimibnalkazahan]

You should've gotten an LT Storyteller Ford Transit. Same interiors, same bronce wheels.same Volta system all-wheel drive, turbo. But much more agile on hills and high altitude, more head room, 3000 Ford places in the States to get service, and an affordable service not those crazy expensive german oil changes. And the cherry of the cake, uses gas jnstead of diesel, so no more dealing with any DEF crap.

[@TalonSei]

Nah Mercedes all the way

[@selimibnalkazahan]

@@TalonSei I know, I know. The looks of the Sprinter are by far prettier & cool. That's why many people choose pretty & cool over convenient. That's what Johnny Depp did, going for the cool gorgeous look of Amber Heard, instead of choosing a better woman. But we all know how that ended, with a dump on Johnny's bed. 😊

[@TalonSei]

Lol good analogy. The Mercedes is far more supported in the aftermarket and also much more capable off road. Nothing wrong with the ford it’s just not for me and how I like using vans.

[@KDad514]

If it can do a burnout, I'm down

[@danielb9644]

Why did you go with another Mercedes chassis vs a Ford like the Russo’s Storyteller?

[@TalonSei]

Mercedes are better off road and have more aftermarket support for what I want to do with the van.

[@MrLugansd]

Went to an RV show for a STO walked away with a Revel. 4x4>AWD

[@PezRacer]

In your opinion 4x4 might be better, but most will like the more powerful AWD with better trans and increased fuel economy.

[@todddonaldson7974]

I thought Mercedes was only offering the 4 cylinder AWD option now. I mean, what are you going to say. You are kinda stuck. When people complain about Ford, they say: "That's AWD and not 4x4 like Mercedes"

[@matthewm3912]

Have fun when those emission systems fail.

[@eagleeye5890]

Pretty impressive 4x4 van...just not sure how one would pay for it at almost $182,000.00?...I guess I would have to live in it / sell my house etc...

[@TalonSei]

A 20 year RV loan makes it easily accessible for most people.

[@gregoryblock9083]

Maybe I misread it but it doesn’t appear that they are offering that huge power system until you get to the Stealth level. Did they upgrade your classic, if so how much did that add to the 180,000? I like your plan of starting with a classic and building up but not if you don’t get all that electric power. ✌🏼❤️😊

[@dpl2617]

Storyteller fixed pricing is no deal ! They simply made their adverture 4x4/AWD vans the most expensive in the industry. And you don't even get a TV, or sufficient solar... WTF base model $180+ grand, thats laughable 😂

[@TalonSei]

Fixed pricing is actually a huge benefit so you’re not getting ripped off by dealers. If you think they are the most expensive in the industry you might not have been looking long enough 🤯

[@randyc9656]

Way over priced for what you get,that’s my opinion but opinions are like a## holes everybody has one
