The Fast Lane Truck Um, you guys forgot about Sportsmobile. They're vans are specifically designed and built for overlanding as well as full-time living.

Is a Mercedes worth the $$$$$$$$? I think My 2010 AWD GMC Savana kicks ass on over priced Mercedes, it's been a great vehicle. Can those Sprinter's tow a 20- 22' (or Larger) Aluminum boat with a 250 horse power outboard for example at 6000' in the CA Sierra's? My ride does, I have a GMC Savana AWD 2010 with a 5.3L V8 that I camp in hundreds of days a years I have never had to pay for anything but gas and oil changes, WIX/Mobil 1. I have 40,000 hwy and hard offroad miles. No maintenance costs, ZERO, nada not $1. What are the maintenance cost on the Mercedes? I have heard that they charge an arm and a leg $1000's for repairs. I recommend people looking for a van to look into used GM, You can buy a used Chevy or GMC AWD van for a few grand and much less than any Mercedes new or used. I get 17-20+ HWY and 13-16 City. Sea level @ 65 mph cruise control on I can get 20+. But in the hills of the Sierra's it has serious power it is a rocket up Donner Pass 7000+, I can go up hills no problem plenty of power to spare 65/70 climbing hills easy or faster. I have BFG's All terrains and it is fantastic in the snow. I would like something bigger and like the newer style vans with the raised roofs but I am considering going one step larger in class as I want more room and comfort that the basic van Sprinter style offers.

Awesome job guys, cool video! I can see where something like this would be very useful in places like Colorado, Alaska and other places. This was really good with the music, scenery, and multi demonstration showing the fuel economy. hopefully there are cup holders in the door panels? Thanks again, I rate this a 10.

@pablomax3045 6 лет назад

I am glad to hear you guys bringing up the range as such an important factor in overlanding. More common is for the reviewers to focus only on off road performance, when that is actually not the primary focus of the overlander. Well done.

@BluTrollPro 6 лет назад

There is several companies in Europe that sell these. Mercedes obviously, Ford sell a 4x4 variant of the Transit, we have the Iveco Daily 4x4 which arguably has the best performance off road of them all, and the Mitsubishi Canter.

@takiman1 6 лет назад

Sprinter 4x4 is a good one. However here in Europe we have some other options for 4wd vans. I used to have a VW Crafter 4motion which is the same as the Sprinter, just different badges. It was a really comfortable work horse/ office. However one thing that happened to a lot of Sprinters/ Crafters after some 250000km was that the rear drive shaft sometimes completely locked up... other than that, it’s awesome! Cheers from Sweden

@dustyrusty7956 6 лет назад

Roman and Nathan - one of your best. The scenery AND the soundtrack added to the analysis. I particularly liked Nathan's ribbing Roman about stream pollution at the end of the video. Well done, guys. AND...I will be checking out the MB 4x4 to see if I can get it with a petrol engine. I have had my fill of diesels over the years. Thank you.

@jacobwalls452 6 лет назад

Dusty Rusty what's the beef with diesels?

@dustyrusty7956 6 лет назад

Every one I bought was schit...of course that was back in the 80's. However, I still have nightmares where I am traveling with my wife and children on a rural back road at 3 AM and running very low on diesel...passing gas stations right and left with no diesel pumps! (BTW, the 4x4 is not offered with a petrol engine....dammit.)

@WW-wf8tu 5 лет назад

Thanks guys. I was always curious about this vehicle and wanted some idea of what it would be like to do just what you showed. I know a lot of people would convert the interior for their personal choices of campers. Since that is what people do already with them, having the 4x4 option brings it to the next level of appreciation. Certainly cheaper to buy that and put in some personal camping accommodations than to buy a traditional camper and try and convert it to 4WD. ;)

@jimmystonethrone 5 лет назад

I bought a new 2015 2500 crew High roof 4x4. I average 13 mpg for my around town. It has been awesome all around. I did the 2" suspension lift by VanCompass and put 35" Toyo RT's. Still 13 plus mpg. A lot of people talk about the high cost to own. Not true. Yes the B service at 20k miles was $1,100 but other than that it is a $120 oil change every 10k miles. I love it. I get stopped every day by people that say how awesome it is. It was a $68 msrp but when trucks are that much anyway, I get the added benefit of fitting a 14'8" kayak in the back and can stand up in it. No truck does that. Love it!

@rvboondocker2559 5 лет назад

So mine goes into four wheel drive by pushing the button then go to neutral and then drive. Works great! The cup holders are also in the doors and the best one is on the dash at the window on each side.

@oceanscience2240 4 года назад

On a Sprinter, the 4×4 option costs $7,500 on paper, but the real cost to actually obtain one is about twice that. And for your ~$15,000 you get a 4×4 system that is unable to send equal torque to the front. It is not shift-on-the-fly, you must stop to engage it. Additionally, it adds a significant amount of NVH to the drivetrain. We have also found that the Sprinter van is not engineered for regular off-road duty. The suspension is way underdampened. The front suspension is composed of a fiberglass leaf spring and the rear is a solid axle with leaf springs. On most true 4×4 vehicles, the front driveline and rear driveline are connected directly together through gearsets with a perfect 50% front, 50% rear split. The transfer case that was shoe-horned into the Sprinter is a planetary gearset and can not offer a true locked 50/50 4×4 system. The best it can do is 33% torque to the front and 67% to the rear. I just spent a lot of money for a 2019 4x4 Sprinter and after the fact found the above article. Did I make a mistake. I what is said up above true? Help me out here. I am feeling a little concerned.

@allwinds3786 6 лет назад

4wd would be nice but my 2006 short wheelbase gets 25 mpg mixed driving, and 35 mpg at 55mph. That looks like the same 7pin trailer connection, but when we installed the electrical brake controller the stock connector had to be replaced with one that could fit the larger wire required. Yes my'06 is nearly impossible to drive in the snow without snow tires. Thanks for the review!

@yotaracer77 4 года назад

I had a new 4x2 2012 & a new 4x2 2013(r.i.p head on collision) sprinter 2500 long high roof w that 3.0 diesel. I was a delivery driver and averaged 72k miles a year. With that van I had 14 foot long cargo area that was 6 feet talk in the door opening and a few more inches tall inside. They were great vehicles that I used for mostly work w alittle camping and play. Not many problems, outside wearable parts brakes and one alternator. The only problem that I remember is the heating element went out in the def tank, not a big deal in oregon. I loved both those vans so much that I'll going to get the 4x4 standard length short roof in the crew version to replace my ageing minivan. They corner so well that I scared most of my passengers cause they thought we would roll over. My only major complaint is my mpg was on average 17mpg, best was 21ish, but that is w aggressive drivingin mostly the city(paid by the job not the hour). My uncles 2006(I think) dodge 5.9 diesel 6spd gets 19.5mpg combined and I can't help but wonder if the sprinter could get better.

@dlg5485 6 лет назад

It's not the "ultimate" overlander by any stretch, but it's a damn good one, particularly if you're just talking OEM production vehicles. The Sprinter's 4x4 system is one of the best factory systems available. I'm planning to build myself an RV in one of these when I retire and use it to travel the country...and beyond.

@Vortechtral 6 лет назад

Man I love Sprinter's. I used to own one when I was a courier. It was the old model, when they were first released. You know before they started looking like beluga whales. Had a 14ft cargo bay and a 6ft roof. With steel toe boots, I was able to stand upright inside as long as it wasn't under one of the support beams that wrap around the tin can. Amazing fuel economy for such a large van. All the other people driving vans would always stare, or come and ask questions. Felt like I had a super car or something. Mine however had zero sound deadening. Every bump, the walls rattled and made a lot of sound. The worst thing was one day it started to rain, then hail. I had to pull into a parking lot just to plug my ears. Holy crap was it so loud! The one my dad got (it was a beluga whale version) had small strips around the inside. This cut the sound and made it much quieter over all. If you get one and for whatever reason it has no sound deadening, make sure you add something, anything! Otherwise, amazing van. Zippy too, for something so large, it can pull pretty good. You'd also think it would tip easy, but I was able to go around turns at a rather rapid speed! Always pushing a limit with the van, don't think I ever got it on 3 wheels mind you but still!

@WW-wf8tu 5 лет назад

While this is sort of uncomfortable of a solution to the noise, a quick and cheap solution is the ear plugs.(also probably a tad illegal in many states) 2nd quick fix is just to throw in some used up clothing or anything that is fabric that nobody wants.(cleaned of course for sanity) I play drums, and in order to keep costs down in sound dampening, I use a lot of house hold used up fabrics and just neatly scatter about the room.(as opposed to buying fancy sound dampeners) Would be amazed at how easily these simple tricks can improve your enjoyment of products that are bare boned. :)

@mattbeazer5896 6 лет назад

2:02 - You look under most modern vehicles today and you see nice things like factory e-coatings to prevent rust, plastic shields to keep crud out and improve aero, etc. From the looks of the underside of this thing it's going to rust out quickly... the front crossmember/engine cradle alone looks like it's already got surface rust on it, and the rest of the underside is barely even painted. I guess the Germans just said "eh, it's a van, ship it".

@LukeEdward 6 лет назад

And the MPG just gets better with age. My 2004 gets 20MPG around town! Yes, it’s 2WD, but its the high roof, LWB (22ft) model. The lowest I’ve gotten in 17 MPG with short trips, constant idling at stops, and from 2000-6500lbs in it. I don’t recommend it, but it has even transported, admirably, over 8000lbs of pavers in pallet inside it. 500-600 miles on every tank is nice when hurricane Irma rolls over you and the fuel stations are shut down, too.

@NemeanLion- 5 лет назад

This would’ve been a great vehicle for when I used to pick up doctors and nurses during snow emergencies at the hospital. You could pick up and take home a whole shift of employees with this much seating.

@darienmiller1032 4 года назад

It would be nice if more van manufacturers offered vans with 4x4, vans have a lot of capability that are being wasted. In theory they're capable of almost anything, but that potential isn't being meant outside of the aftermarket.

Great review nice van but it will rust away faster than you can pay it off

@oceanscience2240 4 года назад

Ok guys, I get everything your saying but remember the suspension is NOT set up for a true built out van. I know, I have a 2019, 170" 4x4 that I built out into an amazing adventure rig. BUT I can tell you for sure, you need to upgrade the suspension, alot. I went with the Agile Offroad Ride Improvement Package (RIP), this is the solution to ALL of your problems. My beastie gets out there and runs big and runs hard. Wind from nature or wind from 18-wheelers, don't bother me at all. the standard for MB is a 2 leaf suspension, mine is 6 leaf, with over springs, FOX shocks and well, let's just say she runs well on the highway or on the trails. Also, remember, MB gave us a 4x4, sort of. It's not really the same as your pickup 4x4, she is not a rock crawler, she will let you go to places most other RV can only dream about. As you can see, I love my rig and don't think anyone can get close (except for the real deal 500k adventure Earth Roamers). They cost more than I could ever afford. Does the MB Sprinter 4x4 rock, well, hell yes. Hope to see you up in the high country.

@0622michaelhorne 6 лет назад

Another great review. I think I'm right in saying that the Winnebago Revel uses this van and its four wheel drive system, and I'd like to see the guys review it sometime as it is supposed to have 'real off road ability'. I figure it would get a good workout with TFL, and we'd get to what it can really do.

On the tail shaft locking up like any 4x4 you need height extender tubes on the front and rear diff and the transmission breathers if you are going to do river crossings. Otherwise water will get in.

$60,000 is not pricey and the domestics do not offer a 4wd option currently and they would not be that much less $ with similar options and their diesel engines don't have the same proven reliability, these vans run 500k miles and have over 20 years of proven reliability , the big 3 have never had this kind of track record, so this is a great review and great vehicle

Id want some things in it to make it a real great travel van including a murphy bed.. table.. kitchenette and maybe some sort of bathroom head if possible..

Great one, but could have mentioned the lights, if it's xenon or regular lamps. It's important when overlanding.

@manbeastx69 6 лет назад

Quigley does great 4x4 conversions but maybe other manufactures will see the demand,want for 4x4 vans and begin to at least offer them as an option.Then we can only hope that they have the option also for dually wheels.

What about the VolksWagen Westfalia... Here in Europe You can get them with 4x4 too... I would prefer that before a Sprinter at anytime.. Beside You can also get the VW as a Pick up with both small and big cabins and then You can put on a Camper on top of that and they have pretty good living space and you also get them with 4x4 and good terrain abilities so/and you have a lot of options then...??

@johnmcneal9477 6 лет назад

We have a 2016 Sprinter with a 170wb, 4x4 with the extra body extension. We have driven around 3000 miles so far and have an overall average of 18.9 mpg. We just returned from a trip where we drove 180 miles on a dirt road. Due to the rough conditions we only averaged around 30 mph but we did managed to get 23.5 mpg at those slower speeds. Here in Alaska most of the paved road speed limits are 55 mph and I suspect our overall mpg would drop to the 16-17mpg range if we spent more time at 65 mph or above. So far my only complaint about the sprint van is with the front seats. They are fine for a cargo work van but not very comfortable for a DIY RV build for long distance travel. With the hard seats mounted over the front wheels you notice a lot of the road bumps and wash boards in your back side. This is typical of all vans. I put a lot of effort into the sound deadening and insulation and overall the van is very quite at road speeds.
