  • One of the most underrated vehicles today is a cargo van! I reviewed this 2020 Mercedes Metris and was delightfully surprised just how fun it was to drive.

    Tons of room for smashing

    Sarah, Ive got a Red 2009 W639 VITO . and it fucking RULES!! its an auto diesel (a bit lame) but drives and brakes like a car even with 1000lbs in the back. and has proved to be super reliable. i love it. but the red paint fades like crazy in the harsh Aussie sun.

    I bought a '20 Sprinter 2500 4WD Crew as a daily driver. Love the thing. V6 diesel engine, 2 speed transfer case, my KTM 1290 fits in the back, it's everything I wanted in a truck.

    We purchased a Thor Motorhome (2016) on a Mercedes V6 diesel chassis. We continue to be amazed and surprised at the quality and performance of this vehicle! This is our 3rd motorhome and definitely the best even after owning a new Leisure Travel van on a Ford chassis. The Thor / Mercedes combination is definitely second to none. Handling, driveability and fuel economy are all excellent.

    Have a 2018 Metris Cargo I use for my freight delivery business. 3.5 years and 100K now and (knock on wood) it's been great overall. My favorite aspect is I put maximum payload of 2,500 Lbs. in it and can still get close to 30MPG!

    Awesome review as always Sarah. If you think you might have caught even the slightest amount of the van bug, I absolutely implore you to look up and find anything you can on bad ass rides of the original van craze of the entire 1970's into the early 1980's. For one thing, the styling was SO much better back then. And of course two, most of them had bad to the bone V8's in them. Sweet. Love your channel. 👍🇺🇸

    My workplace has two of these (~2017 model year). They are amazing as simple cargo vans. We've outfitted them with racks for toolboxes. Mercedes makes a surprising range of vehicles, most of which don't come to the US. Thanks for reviewing something different (not just for your channel, but for Mercedes)!

    Thanks for testing this. I'm looking at the shorter wheelbase version. I like the turbo engine and RWD. The bare-bones 126"wb Metris starts at $27k. Pretty good value, I think. Plus it has a tow rating of 5000lbs and a cargo capacity of 2400lbs. You can get 4x8 sheets of plywood to lie flat in the back. I'm concerned that it would be too crude and noisy on the road, though. Nearest dealer is over 200 miles away.

    • @gerry2893
      @gerry2893 3 роки тому +1

      I have a 2018 Metris Cargo I use for my freight delivery business. In short it's a beast. Just crossed 100K miles in 3.5 years and it's been a beast. I carry max payload of 2,500 Lbs. and still get close to 30MPG! I plan on getting the extended version very soon. Touch wood, it's been great..!

    Yeah! I love that thing. A single bed that folds up sideways on the driver side, and a slide tray holding my MTB with a tiny fridge and sink setup behind the passenger seat with solar panels on the top and a big li-ion battery with cargo nets hanging from the top to store stuff. Nice aggressive tires, and upgrade those headlights and it's the perfect MTB adventure vehicle. More van reviews!

    Funny how specs have gone down hill. My fully outfitted 1995 Ford E350 diesel gets 20 mpg. Seventeen mpg with a trailer of any size in the rear. I finished with a 24' trailer. The van does grocery shopping now with only 95,000 miles on its commercial class chassis. Oil changes suck at 12 quarts per. Oil assays at $18 can push your changes to one year. That is my artificial max. The engine is a full 7.3 liter dual turbo injected V8. The engine was made by Navistar aka International Harvester. I leave Mercedes diesel vans and cars in my rear view mirror. Their mileage sucks too.
