Hi, Craig. Are you saying that this guy, based on his experience with his Sprinter, felt that it wasn’t very reliable, and couldn’t trust them for his fleet? I’ve red about Transit van problems as well like being rust prone, poor fit and finish, driveshaft carrier bearing issues, and oil

All I can speak to about reliability of a Sprinter is that they seem to REALLY hold value well. I feed my addiction and desire for one by stalking them on CL. Even a high miles 2004 example in reasonable condition brings $10k or more. I do not see the civilian models come available, but that

Dogs are bigger than I thought, and you've got a couple of car seats, so it sounds like you're outgrowing Curly's beloved Grand Caravan and moved into LWB van territory. Maybe Benzworld would know more about the latest Sprinter powertrains? 15 years ago Sprinters were thought pretty solid,

At minimum, that’s correct. The Ody did the job with 4 adults, two kids in car seats and two 80LB service dogs, but my big Goldendoodle pup will be much larger at over 100LBs which wouldn’t leave much room for me in the back. The Sprinter can be configured with as many seats as necessary or

At minimum, it has to seat Kevin, Mrs Kevin, a sighted driver, and a herd of medium-large dogs? If it weren't for the 3rd person, a 123-124-210-211 wagon would be great. One with split folding seats might work and cost less but the dogs would be crowded if you had 4 people. Mitch

Hello Dieselers. As I mentioned a couple days ago, I’m considering a Sprinter van to replace the 2017 Honda Odyssey as the family/K9 hauler. Our three Doodle puppies are growing larger, and we are also having two more Goldendoodles raised to be our next guide dogs. In just over a year, we will
