Thanks for watching! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
These vans are actually really fast. They come flying through my neighborhood at 70mph and run over whatever is in their way. I think they're from the Amazon or something.
is that the rare one hour shipping option? always wondered how they can get it faster to me than if i went to the store lmao
And start to rust in 3 weeks
@@Matt-di6nb not before lighting the dash with DEF DPF ABCD ETC
Hahaha same 😂
Or 110mph on the Autobahn ....many of them :D
Imagine the Mercedes Benz engineer passive aggressively putting cupholders everywhere.
@CIA Defector It's illegal to drink while driving in a lot of european countries, or at least it's highly frowned upon by police (I'm from France, and those last years, as Jeremy Clarkson once said, the french police has lost all of its sense of humor) , so cupholder are usually just "bottle holder", for when you stop to have a drink with your bottle
What do you mean? Cup holders should be able to hold a bottle 500ml max usually. Any larger and that’s just unnecessary. Most vehicles just have two in the front, I prefer rear ones in the armrest also for McDonald’s and all that but it’s not that usual. Not sure why you would ever need so many and personally, I only want cup holders with grips at the bottom and the plastic/rubber grips all around the cup holders to ensure it can’t move at all
@CIA Defector Most of our cars are stick shift. I find it very cumbersome to drink/eat while having to steer and change gears at the same time.
😂😂
XxJay71xX illegal to drink while driving? Name me just one country where its illegal 😂😂
No one:
Absolutely no one:
The Topher: Racing a Mercedes cargo van on back roads
Need to bring it to the next autocross.
How is this meme still going. So dumb.
@@_chipchip fr, tired of seeing it in EVERY SINGLE VIDEO that I watch on youtube
@@SimornM 😂😂😂
I touge every cargo van I get my hands on, so no, not absolutely no one. Touged the SHIT out of a transit e150, ram pro master, econoline e150 and a dodge sprinter 3500
As someone who used to do deliveries for Amazon and drove a sprinter van, I can tell you that these things can really move, way faster than you would think it would be.
How bad was delivering for amazon?
Ian Scheurer I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with more aspiration than making a few dollars on the side. The work is chaotic, management is unsupportive , and prospects for advancement virtually non-existent.
the cupholders look like the old mercedes headlights
Sprinters are some of the most useful vehicles on the planet. They can't tow as much as pickups but they do everything else substantially better. And with the right off road tires and wheels they can look really cool
Mercedes is the only car company that can make one of these look luxurious
I wouldn't call this luxurious, but it does the job.
That does not look luxurious at all.
@@purplemonkeys11 definitely very nice though for a work van. But if it was a base model it would be much worse.
Gtfo haters
that is luxury for a van let me tell you
This is probably the closest I'll get to driving a contemporary Mercedes-Benz. Thanks for the video
Can’t wait to watch the whole video! Your videos are always awesome.
You’ve entered a New Dimension with this review.
That transmission shifts fast 👌👌
We've used a manual diesel Mercedes Sprinter from 2005 for our hot air ballooning, but it was recently totaled in a rear end collission caused by a drunk driver. This one would be an amazing replacement, but we don't have the money to spend.
The lifted suspension would be great for balloon pickups from out on rough fields, but would make it a pain in the butt to lift the 100kg basket into it.
One can only dream of a good van.
I love how it sounds when driving.
I had to read the title of the video twice just to make sure I read the title correctly lol. Great content!
I absolutely love the new Sprinter now in gas turbo as well as diesel. One day I will buy a camper version but definitely still used.
I don't know why, but I was very excited to see this video in my Subs. Maybe because there's an air of mysteriousness about this thing.
i have 2014 cargo low roof and i love it traveling New York- Florida back and forth
Party van! I was behind one of these and saw the body panels vibrating and loud bass thumping
I think that’s the HD rear end whining, because it seems speed oriented, as opposed to gear position. Reminds me of a G80 from GM. It also gives it a little old world agricultural grit, as does the diesel.
Watching your video, even a Sprinter looks exciting :D
Dang maybe I should be an Amazon driver, this is the nicest cargo van I've ever seen.
So you never saw a Mercedes Truck inside haha thats a other level
I loved driving the Sprinter for Amazon and every time I got the ProMaster or Transit I was PISSED! Makes me want to buy one as a daily and for my bike! Also people look at you differently in the Mercedes versus the American competition which is pretty boring. The Mercedes is such a premium level of driving and that was with the base package.
So, is this where we gonna live after we sell all of our properties?
Sprinter yes, Michigan no :)) terrible roads
@@ColinPopoviciu I'm pretty sure these cars are very good at bad roads or off road to a certain extent, i just keep seeing this car on many 3rd world countries where roads are just pothole haven.
Dude you are the best. Whish you were more popular.
Question for you: Do you review cars based of requests, or random vehicles which come your way....?
From what I've heard it's both. The manufacturers have a certain selection of cars in their loaner pools, and reviewers can also request cars.
The dealership I work for has 5 3500 series sprinters. They are well built and pretty solid.
Wow...they're still using the OM642 V6 😂 It's a great motor so not super surprised. OM656 is amazing but definitely not made for the compact small commercial engine bays
More likely they don't yet have enough production capacity on the newer OM656, and it is far more expensive.
The 642 is a great engine!!
Great video
Drove a previous gen (extended high roof, not dualies) for over 70k km on my previous job, it was great really. Drove the new one a bunch as well when ours was in for maintenance, ergonomics and comfort are much better but I dislike what they did with the brakes, it's too much power for only a little pressure. Steering feel is nonexistant as well, the older one actually had very good feel at the wheel, and more resistance.
Either way, very nice driving truck for sure.
so beautiful
Oh my god Topher! You majored in Geology? Cool
We have the 2500 cargo van this week. It’s hilarious that I’ve pretty much parked it wherever when I’ve gone to pick up my kid from school. No one questions it because they think it’s an Amazon delivery truck 🤣
No. That voice system is the best in the industry. It allows for natural speech. Have you used the system in their passenger vehicles? You don't say specific commands. You can say "I'm hot" and it'll lower the temperature. You can ask it to tell a joke. But I don't think it heard you when you said open the map since the van is noisier inside. Also, does this van even have the maps installed in it?
Something about seeing someone rage around corners In a big van is the best thing ever
What kind of MPG did you see during your week of driving it? My 2013 Diesel 2x4 averaged 17.7 over the 4 years I owned it.
Vans are harder to drive but definitely a lot mor satisfying imo
Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2021 💩
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2021💩
7:38 Wow, 6 axles in the trailer?! How many wheels this behemoth has?
Just picked one up yesterday and engine light came on and brake warning light. Dealer said don't worry. What are warning lights for?
Sorry friend, what kind of track did you turn on on the radio? ... and the first and second
This is a cool video. I've never been to the US before, and I'm just curious about how driving's like and how the scenery looks like over there.
is it necessary to have paddle shifters in a van? it's not like you can take a van around the Nürburgring
My van review: Ram promaster is definitely the quickest with the pentastar, but a sloppy pig in handling. The transit e150 is the slowest van but boy does it touge well. The Sprinter is the best balance of handling and acceleration. The Chevy express is a 1995 van that shows its age and just cannot compete, tho the powerplant is adequate.
Transit Ecoboost is faster than all of them
A van with paddle shifters. Nice
Why would you want to turn the lane keep assist off?
comfortable
I’m eventually getting a pleasure way class b rv with the sprinter chassis it’ll be the 3500 dually it’ll probably ride pretty smooth considering it’s a rv and all pleasure way rvs are made in Canada so it’ll be very reliable and very comfortable on the highway
I should get my boss to buy one of these to replace the work truck this would be amazing
What is the interior length from the back of the rear seat to the double door?
This is what I had as a FedEx worker until I switched jobs and now i only got the Ford Transit 250
Hey topper love your content I think you should drive the 2018 Suzuki Celerio it’s a small little car and it’s really reliable and cheap
Do you know what the price is as-equipped?
AWESOME
NICE CAAAR😚
I don’t understand all these noises that I hear when you ride over some thing on the road just a little bit things and that noise when you accelerate!! is it really that way or is it just the camera Thing?
Flashbacks to the Transit review...
These Mercedes vans plus vw vans seems like the only two options in my country, you see hundreds of them everyday here.
Hydraulic seat is a must have if you buy one of these .
I want it!
Whoah!!!😳
why does it have paddle shifters. might as well put a lap timer in the center display.
Didn't know that the 4X4 option is available on the 'dualies' (3500) version.
Sprinter or Crafter, wich is the best?
Damn this van look better than my 2020 5 series.....
Åñd?
this reminds me of kidnapping van in an action movie hahahaha
is there a new yt update were you can see what the intro and idk is
By far the best delivery van ever.
These dang minimum wage immigrants should be grateful that the delivery company's spends so much money
Disclaimer, it's not meant as an insult, it's just true. Most of the delivery people (at least in my area) are all immigrants or people with an immigration background
Nice
I love american roads. Highways everywhere!
Advice for the potential buyers!
You should consider buying only diesel engine Sprinter.
Its renault traffic basically?
How do you select the transfercase mode (2H, 4H, L4)?
Robb M you don’t I think it’s awd
7:02 never heard of the term active chassis before.
Дороги как в России) лайк за видео)
I always found it weird why Americans love pickup trucks when these vans exist where you have more seats, more doors, bigger space, and you can lock your stuff in. All trades and transport have these vans in EU.
Luxury work van (y no new beeeeeep)
What’s the name of that second song
I’m 6 foot 4 inches will I be able to stand up with out bumping my head in the back?
Jonathan Hogan probably
Hi can you please do 2020 Toyota Yaris xle hatchback
Feel like a semi driver.
Drove a 2015 15 passenger luxury 2500 Sprinter for work (Chauffeur) and it was good except for the interior was shit lol. Cup holders were laughable, AC was not intuitive, dash and radio felt like it was from 2006 lol.
That diesel torque is addicting though!
I think Doug Demuro has done a review on one of these or something similar! Apparently the Mercedes passenger vans are all a few steps behind the competition in terms of comfort, tech and safety features despite being priced much higher.
Ryan Huang that was the Metris I think
Any Recommendation on Sprinter VS Transit???
Sprinter
whats your job?
Wow
Android auto on mbux?
Dont you get the fiat vans via Chrysler .as there v6 diesel 4x4 is very good
Would make the ultimate conversion van
should do a comparison with ford transit
Omg 😮
Does it get like 0.3 miles per gallon
Mercedes says 20mpg.
Is this what roads look like in the US?
Now they are gonna be like they’re too many cup holders
How much does the van cost?
More than ur mom
American's complain about not enough cup holders.
Mercedes: How much you need? Say no more! Here you go, damn American's! 😂
Nice van!!! Can we also maybe get an older ford e450 passenger van as a review or a ford transit?
There are safe words and unsafe words 😂😂
What’s the sticker price as tested? Thanks!
He said price as tested is about $70k. But the base models start in the $30k range.
@@cobydog456 gawd damn
These songs for the music test... bro...
We went from luxury cars to bosses I hate my iPhone 11 and never auto correct anything so whatever it says I’m gonna leave it
Is this a luxury van?
