Would like to have seen this with a 2500 AWD , not a dually 3500. Also, this tells me little about its overall capabilities. One person commented on a RWD with a locker.... I think that would have sailed through this as well...especially if lifted.
Ideally, you'd put the van in 4WD before the tough sections. Also, disengaging "ESP" (which is actually ASR) makes a world of difference. Doing both of those you would have cruised by with the V6 too. Although as a Sprinter owner, the transfer case on this thing is a nightmare, I think it's a good thing they finally did away with it
Why would they put a 4 cylinder in a vehicle with a gross weight of 11k? That may be ok for an Amazon van, but RV owners needs something a little more durable. I hope they stick with a 6 cylinder for the chassis cabs.
Do you still have to unplug the purple wire to make all the radio speakers work? Does the cruise control still randomly turn off cause it feels like it? Does the cross wind assist still hammer on the brakes without any warning? Do you have to spend thousands of dollars to make the chassis be more stable as it goes down the road? Does the new engine come with an oil dipstick? Does the MBUX still inaccurately display the speed signs on the Navigation screen and center dash display? Is the Navigation software still crappy? Does the MBUX still randomly blurt out "what can I do for you" while you're having a conversation with other people in the vehicle? I feel that the Sprinters are designed by Mercedes Benz B team of designers... and the AMG line gets all the best A team of designers. If AMG owners had to put up with a shitty product like a Sprinter, MB would have zero sales. Do you answer anybody's questions on here...?
Cause AWD drive systems will more than likely overheat doing anything hard. AWD is meant for roads not off road. Go take a 11k lbs AWD sprinter off road and see how fast you burn it up.
I'm still amused at how switching to 4x4 is too difficult? I always do this before riding on any dirt roads, I dont have to roll forward (2022 model). Jeeps are pretty much the same as you stop, switch to N, shift to 4x4 and then go. Either way I'm happy to see MB investing in the platform.
Really nice. Surprised by the articulation on both. I have a 2023 AWD on order now to replace my 2016. 2nd on list at dealership. The AWD will be far better for me on the mountain where I live. I need 4x4 to get in or out of my driveway and it is a pain to activate several times a day. Can't wait to just drive like an SUV.
Nice, but what is different from the 2021 model ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0bUXgSTAaQ8.html )which looks like performed the same.
Performance off road is very close, couple of advantages noticed while driving - AWD vs old 4X4 - no drive line binding for the AWD, AWD automatic engagement key in varying surface conditions, vs 4X2 switch to 4X4 then 4X4 Low selection, lower final drive in 1st for the AWD= more wheel torque, New EPAS steering is buttery smooth, new motor in the AWD '23
Moto139 I have one coming that I ordered. This will be the first box that I've bought pre made. They say it will fit and it has high reviews but I'm also scared that the seats won't sit all the way down or that the woofers will touch the floor. Should be here by Thursday. Fingers crossed.
@@Foesvpply I had to make some minor adjustments to fit some JL13TW5V2-2 - JL Audio 13.5" woofers in it. All in all I'm happy I have decent sound and still have the use of my rear seat. But nothing beat the ported box I built for my Kicker L7's. That was great!
Are u using the 2ohm or 4ohm, and what amp and how many watts is the amp, and are the two subs wired in series or parallel? Sorry for the technical questions but I am highly interested in these subs for my PRO, and for $600 per sub; a lot of research is in play
Wired in series powered by a JL 1200 mono amp, 2 3ohm subs www.jlaudio.com/13tw5-3-car-audio-tw5-subwoofer-drivers-92181 www.jlaudio.com/hd1200-1-car-audio-hd-amplifiers-98250 Pretty solid set up when space is limited, amps hidden behind the rear seat, box under looks stock
Moto139 excellent!!!! I'm in a tundra crewmax so I have that raised floor under the rear seats so subs will most likely go behind seats and have any to bottom of seat so I can lift seat to direct rear ac vent towards it to help keep it cool during extended use
