that air filter you pulled out is the cabin air filter. the engine air filter is that big ass box right on top of the engine. it's a pain in the ass to replace.

Bought the ginormous 170 extended cargo Sprinter 4x4 for work and I gotta say, I don't know how I ever lived without this thing. I live and work in the northern Rockies and go to untamed job sites all the time that are WAY off the beaten path and often times not plowed yet. I can get all my tools and equipment to jobs easily now with tons of room to spare. Now all my contractor buddies with their trucks are super jealous. Nice to have your stuff being protected from the elements. I can fit 16' lumber in the back of this beast too! One van to rule them all!

I really like these reviews Andre does.

I've wanted this vehicle to come to america for more than ten years. I used to maintain a fleet of sprinter ambulances and wanted them in 4x4! If only I could get an old CDI motor with the 4x4. Thanks for the review.

Happy to see Roman using all of Andrey's talents instead of just brake temps and a Russian gopher and comedic foil. Keep on TFL truckin.

awesome video! thanks for sharing!

Great review, Andre.

I drive one of these sans 4x4 daily ... add the high roof, long wheel base as well and I could not imagine how high the CG would be. As it is with its profile and narrow track, they are a handful on uneven driveway entries, etc. As far as the engine, I drive the same V6T and the mileage is subpar from what we were accustomed to with the older Freightliner/Dodge/Sprinter I5T. So much so in fact, that the company I work for de-tuned them by 20% trying to gain fuel mileage. All it really has done is make them a pooch to drive. Highway speed stability on snow/ice is remarkable while low speed traction is marginal unless you have significant weight onboard.

Nice one André ! nice one!

I would love to get one of these and make a stealth camper

What was the size of that mac you had in the storage box, 11'' or 13''?

Well done Andre!!! As tested what was the cost of this one with 4X4 option and what was the fuel economy?

hey man quick question,do you think it could tow a 3,5 tonne trailer???your response would be appreciated

i love this van

Dear TFL truck. I had commented previously on the Chevy, Ford, Dodge MPG test that it would be really helpful to know what the idle consumption is. I would like to request that you take the Sprinter out on an MPG test as well. If you could do a video about the idle consumption as well that would be super cool helpful information. Both the 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder diesels. I think they both need to see the ike Gauntlet as well. American trucks seem to have no problem so let us see The Sprinter go! You could throw in the pro master and the transit is well if you want. Even though we all know the Sprinter can't be beat.

What sort of mileage numbers did you get? This looks perfect for a base model to be customized. I'm surprised that it only has a five-speed automatic transmission.

So you did a review with no specifics of engine displacement, hp or torque figures. or even cost???????

Is the Sprinter 4x4 good for cattle wrangling?

I saw a 4x4 and it looked sick

Hey Andre, good review.. Dont no if the paint on the mercedes vans is different in the US, but here in the UK you see a lot of rusty Sprinters that are only a few years old

How was this a review? You listed the options and the obvious for 75% of the video, and the most off-road you went was a dirt road.

What's with the flashing front headlights?

Nice video Andre nice one

You guys should test a quigley 4x4 ford transit and compare it to one of these. They are simularly priced. I'm trying to decide between the 2 now

just noticed the guy say how easy it is to access things under bonnet a. He grabbed a filter and said this is the air filter, its actually only the cabin air filter. The engine air filter takes special torx tools to access ( its in the centre under a large plastic cover.)., also a comment below says why would you want one of these ,? I need to access work sites that are off road , or in the snow. the all wheel drive is essential. thanks Mercedes.

I have a 2006 sprinter 4x4 best van I have ever had

You see plenty of these up here in the North of Scotland with the utilities companies. They are totally decked out with winches and sump guards etc. These are the reason why utility companies don't by Land Rovers anymore!

Hi, What have they done so the vans don't rust out after 2 Ohio winters. It's really sad to see them so rusted. Or are they still offering free paint jobs.

It would make a great overland camper

More please

Will it go up Goldmine Hill?

Honestly, I think I'd rather have AWD with good EDS (ABS antilock) and a limited-slip in the center... at least as compared to a transfer case that can't be shifted at any reasonable speed, like even a NP205. Apparently there is also a Quigley TC conversion for the Express.

I want one!

A different model costs $38000. Why the hell dont you tell us how the one were looking at costs.

What about fully loaded van on off-road?????

whats the city and highway mpg

Engine numbers !? Thanks for talking about number of seats and where the washer fluid is but leave out the specs.

whats its ability for partial immersion in water?

Can you do a mpg test like your other videos?

A dirt road is not really off road IMHO. It would have been nice to see it really off road. Maybe talk about the turning radius. The 4wd system. Ground clear, skid plates, etc. Not looking for a jeep review but lots of us actually camp in the middle of nowhere, and actually do some off road driving to get there.

Andre did a great review. I hope Nissan makes a 4wd NV

Would make a great sportsmobile

looooove German cars.i wish i had a car like this.

failed to mention the as tested price, and vehicle specs. Capacity, weight, mpg, things of this nature...

holy cow.

Why isn't the Sprinter available here in the USA with 4wd? I've never seen one where I live. They're always rear-wheel drive, which is fine. But why not offer a 4x4 for those who need one, or want one?

Why all the Loud Music?

wish chevy would make one from factory. i much prefer the american style vans.

that is my retirement overland vehicle.

Good van but a dumb review. The most interesting thing I personally wanted to see is 4x4 and low range switches/levers and how to engage and disengage presentation. Re-watch your video yourself and see what you showed. Absolutely nothing that differs this model from 2x4.

Lots of people don’t like the, because expensive to maintain and their is only one Mercedes dealer in my state so for some people dealer might be 500 miles away for service

Lots of shops won’t touch a Mercedes

The Mercedes Metris would be amazing with 4x4, although that probably would never happen.

Andre is awesome

Nice video but your music is ""W A Y T O L O U D ""

Who is this model of Adidas

0:23 A Tatra sticker? O.o Ahoj! :-)

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

did you just say holy cow?

Why were the headlights flashing?

"the air filter is here" pulls out cabin filter 🤦‍♂️

Air filter is on top of the motor and service is a pain

hey , maintenance ... everything is in easy reach , how about the oil filter .. have you tried changing that ? ..how about an off road review , specs , driver insight .. -this was the 4x4 model correct ? ..p/s not really interested in cows , bulls or bullshit " i was hoping for an honest driving review - very disappointed .

7:13

Error as soon as he opens the bonnet, sorry the Hood! That's the pollen filter you tool!! Not the air filter.

окей

Yeah, put some 38" tires and a front and rear locker on this baby, I know my new overlanding vehicle! (yes, I'm kidding....mostly)

i was sad to watch one ending its life on i10 last week...judging by the blackness of its cloud and the lack of speed it was a diesel probably low and bad coolant and the idiot driver wasnt stopping to try to fix it, just letting it cook...my truck is twice as old with double the miles im sure and its just as important to have enough, good coolant as it is changing your oil

Seems underpowered to have an 4x4 drivetrain in such a heavy vehicle.

You know who's awesome read the first word again

Forgot to tell us the engine specs! Great otherwise!

Hunk of plastic looks like a giant Tupperware

holy cow. lol...

why would you want 4wd on a cargo van?

This dude is so wrong on how to "shift" into 4WD. stopped and in Neutral.

Are you going to take this van up your hill?

I see what Mercedes is trying to do, but who would ever go off roading in a van that big and tall? Its just not practical

Too bad you did not do any real 4x4 trails. Your show could of been done by a vw bug.

If you can't use the 4-wheel drive on pavement then its completely useless

Try just a little harder to spook the cattle.

WTF is with those side lights flashing all the time it looks kinda stupid and definitely annoying

Why don't you want to drive 4x4 on drive pavement?

just bought a 2017 . This review is misleading. I can tell you all the negatives about the van if you like. The van is over rated big time, and this man must be getting paid to do this review

Orange peel on a Mercedes? Yuck.

These things are ugly.
