The BEST Diesel? // 2022 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 Review

[@Primus54]

Only Sarah can make a review of a Mercedes cargo van hilarious, entertaining, and also legit highly informative. Interesting that it comes with a mummy. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏😁😁😁😁😁

[@jeffsr8300]

Sarah could road test a pair of sneakers and it would be fun.

[@tomheringer2047]

Absolutely loved the bagged hostage clips during the road test. All recorded on "Cargo-Cam" too. Only on Sarah-n-Tuned will you see something as clever as that!

[@ephjay6t87]

Did you think that was a bag of Angel Food Cake? I didn't..

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

[@sheldondyck8631]

With the price of utilities and general home ownership these days, I’m seriously considering selling my house and moving into a van lol.

1000 a month for oil guess i could buy a nice van

[@ErikOrdway1984]

Even with boondocking a lot the operating costs are still pretty steep if you move around much.

[@alouisschafer7212]

I want a small house and lots of property.

[@drexel5146]

Get a van down by the river!

[@DartyFL]

I'd watch Sarah review a broken skateboard. Such a goofball (in the best sense of the word)! Your videos make my day...goofier. Thanks for that.

[@SarahnTuned]

A broken skateboard?!?

[@garyworokevich2524]

@@SarahnTuned We'll get James May's buddy to repair it with a Mecanno set. May had a motorcycle built using Mecanno bits and pieces....skateboard a no-brainer.

[@DartyFL]

@@SarahnTuned I'd watch you review anything. I'm here to geek out on the technical aspects of what ever you're doing but I'm staying for the goofiness. Weird compliment, I know.

You sum up your love for all things car related at just before 9:50. “This thing is the funnest car review I have done in a while.” Said with a huge Sarah grin. And you could see you were 100% serious. Love it!

[@gerhard7988]

How much for the barbarian and slave girl mural option on the side of the van?

[@ianprice2298]

Sabine Schmitz (RIP) was famous for running an older version of that van around the Nürburgring, I believe with Jeremy Clarkson in the passenger seat.

[@CerberusTenshi]

It was Richard Hammond and a Ford Transit.

[@jfan4reva]

@@CerberusTenshi Clarkson would have bailed before the halfway point. Hammond would have hung on to the bitter end. May would have watched from the start line and wondered out lout what was taking so long! Lol!

[@CerberusTenshi]

@@jfan4reva On the first try, Hammond was in the van with Sabine, quite scared. It's available here on KZbin. On the second attempt, for weight reduction, everything went out, including Hammond. XD

[@carholic-sz3qv]

At 12:15 there is someone in the van 😅😅😅

[@dheitz5830]

Is it really a "sweet van" if it doesn't have side pipes and can't do a burnout?

[@tkcphoenix2k4]

The nostalgic home improvement outfit is on point for a utility van review!

[@cindysue5474]

Your next challenge build should be a 70s custom van with all the bells and whistles they were fun in the 70s.

[@CEOkiller]

I want to see an AMG conversion

[@alainponcelet1157]

8kN is 8 kiloNewton which is 8000 Newton, and 800 daN is 800 decaNewton which is also 8000 Newton. Just international units for force. It is the force you can apply on these tie down shackles. It is approximately 800 kg (kilograms) or 1764 lbs. I hope it helps. Thanks for the great videos and reviews. Always fun to watch. Amazing job Sarah.

[@habsom1406]

Hey, Alain Poncelet, that's fascinating info, thanks for posting your comment! 👍🙂

[@jamessalter676]

Shaggin Wagon!! Nice shirt! Tool time classic. 👌

[@allenshafer7704]

I would ONLY watch a van review from Sarah, not any other human on earth! The Binford Tools shirt and boots is 🔥

Really nice vehicle, especially if you're into bikes and need a safe way to transport them around. Miss my older Merc MB150..

[@miguelkennedy9520]

I like watching videos by Sarah :)

[@kevinlyon9501]

Nothing strange about this review. The size with these things, have done some work with Mercedes-Benz and they loaned us a long wheel base crew cab for while, you could still have a party in the back, or roll around in a sleeping bag🤣. Very comfy on long journeys too.

[@garageworker]

Nice to see Mercedes didn’t over engineer a cargo van. Looks like you could work on it yourself. Would love to see you review a Ford Transit Connect. Wish Ford would put a hybrid or a 2.0 eco boost in it.

[@jimrundlett-doom9339]

Never thought you would do a review on a sprinter van. But as always, nailed it!

[@F0NIX]

we need more van reviews like this! :) I never owned a van personally but I have a dream of getting one in the future and convert it to a camper van. But I have driven a few at work. Non as big as this though. I now drive a VW Transporter long version and its a pain to park in the city, and this Sprinter must be a nightmare to park in the city :(

Have to admit, I wasn't expecting parabolic leaves on the back or Corvette style IFS up front, interesting choices.

[@gerryk101]

Hey Sarah ! You beautiful woman. Could you please do a review on the VW caddy version ? In future to see how it stacks up compared to the Merc?

[@Andrew-pq6zo]

I love Sprinters and Vitos, but seriously, you want us to be focused on words wearing the cleavaged t-shirt, girl..😐😐

[@Alex-sz8ku]

These things are seriously badass. I want to covert one into a tiny house van thing so bad.

[@weltraumaffe4155]

You can buy a house for that much $.

[@Alex-sz8ku]

@Weltraum Affe a rundown 1960s single wide trailer in a trailer park cost between 150-200k where I live. If you want a move in ready house, it would cost at least 400k for a 2 bedroom 1 bath.

[@bcluett1697]

Considering you actually use tools I'm surprised you don't have a sponsor for that, also rolley chair was unexpectedly fun.

[@leer.2137]

Awesome review! Informative but you made it lots of fun!

The cargo cam should have showed Angel Foodcake tied up and gagged, then escaping at the end.

A few years ago I spent a whole day driving a Renault Master, which is just as big as this Mercedes, with only some differences as FWD and coil springs all around. I was surprised of how nice and “pleasurable” it was 😀

[@faceinthecrowd5810]

Vans are excellent!!! I’ve owned a bunch, now had my 1997 GMC high top Savanna for like 10 years. I have done a custom interior, had some paintwork done, added magnaflow dual exhaust for some 5.7L rumble, wheel spacers nice treads….vans are super useful!!

[@williamberger2178]

Sarah, best car review ever!!! You really had some fun with this one. I especially liked the "cargo" B Roll. I literally laughed out loud, each time.

[@cnorton1us]

Where else can you see a giant cargo van reviewed like it's a sports car? 😀 I've never driven anything quite like this, though over the years I've driven different Ford, Chevy and Dodge vans. As well as rental trucks, some of which were built on van chassis (others were pickup based). For that matter, I learned to drive a stick-shift in a Ryder GMC 18' box truck. Fun times! As always, your outfit was perfect for the occasion!

[@alanhubbard1868]

the earlier sprinter vans apparently had a very bad reputation for rusting, glad to see MB dealing with that.

daN is a weird meassurement. Also available as m•daN. It's a decanewton. 1daN is 10N. Airbus uses m•daN for torque meassures on their aircraft in combination with lbs•in and lbs•ft.

[@moconnell663]

2:21 They probably went overboard on the rust prevention because of how badly they skimped on it in earlier models. In the Chicagoland area they crumbled into piles of red dust after just a few years.

[@tonydacosta2273]

Imagine a AMG V8 with awd and then give it the Beans! Wonderfully strange and very entertaining review life is full of fun little surprises and this review is one of them. P.S. : don't forget that big package in the cargo bay!!

[@SarahnTuned]

Haha, AMG Sprinter! Yes please

[@nirfz]

Long ago a german tuning company did something like that with a VW Bus. They put the Porsche Turbo engine, brakes and drivetrain and suspension in it. Compromised the loading area a bit. (IT basically became a 4 seater with 4 individual comfy seats) But it was quick "af" (as people may call it).

[@1leggeddog]

Use one of these for a year when I used it work for a shop helping do deliveries. They are made to be used day in day out and you don't notice that you're in a van most of the time. They drive better with stuff in the back. As you lower the center of gravity

[@joecutro7318]

So great, thanks! Thinking of buying one of these to tour the country in retirement. Seeing one of your honest reviews is super helpful 👌🏼

[@nathanallman971]

Great review Sarah, we used to drive these and the mini bus versions in the British forces, in Germany back in the 90s, they were great to thrash and throw around. Keep up the great video's.

11:07 the sticker means that what ever those mount points are is strong enough to hold 8 KiloNewtons or 800 decaNewtons (Deca is x10 of 1 or 1/100th of 1000[kilo]) or roughly 1800lbs

[@sfeddie1]

Sometime back in 2011 I drove a short wheelbase company Dodge Sprinter from the SF Bay Area to Chicago. It was an easy driving vehicle and did well the highways. Except there were a few times while at highway speeds all of a sudden it felt like someone threw out an anchor behind the van and power would drop to almost nothing. I couldn’t accelerate, it would just continue on at a slow speed. I would have to pull off the highway, power down and wait for a couple of minutes. It would then start right up like nothing was wrong and I could continue on. Never found out if this was a common Sprinter problem or what the problem was.

[@privateer9181]

These Sprinters are in germany the most used Cars for delivery service like FedEx, etc. The drivers ran on the german autobahn (highway) like crazy, often with 160km/h or more. And of course they often have accidents... The V6 Turbo-Diesel is a typical "Taxi-Engine", wich runs over 500.000km. These engines like many kilometers. The Mercedes V-Klasse "Marco Polo-Edition" is a nice luxury and sporty Camper-Van. Greets from Germany near Spangdahlem Airbase. 😊
