We have 2 2008 Dodge (Mercedes OEM rebadged) Sprinters 1 2011 Nissan NV 1 2015 Ford Transit 1 2004 F-450 4x4
The Sprinters have been less than reliable - transmission issues the dealer can’t fix and multiple minor issues. Leaking power steering hoses, broken door tracks, multiple ‘check engine’ issues, etc. Nice enough to drive and work out of. Good fuel mileage. Very expensive to fix. Nissan NV - about 75k on it. Not great mileage but has never broken down. The only maintenance has been tires and oil changes. Nice to drive. The box is a bit shorter than the competition. Ford Transit - still pretty new. Mileage slightly better than the Nissan. Nice to drive and roomy. No maintenance issues yet, but it’s still pretty new at ~30,000 miles. F-450 - What would you like to run over? Good for pulling all of the above out of the mud and snow.
