I saw a Dodge Sprinter in my home town today!!

I was coming out of the local coffee shop and the guy
who owned it was taking stuff out of it. So I
approached him and talked quite awhile
abt it.

Man that things is cool!!!!

Id almost consider buying one and making it my only,
main vehicle

Here is link to a review on it

A friend of mine has one for him company.. He went ahead and opted for the
gray market Benz grill that bolts right on,  had it all debadged and painted
Mercedes Silver... then put the Mercedes G-500 wheels on it. People always
ack him how he managed to get the Mercedes Sprinter into the US.. He just
tells them Dodge has them.
the thing is big! it can really hold a lot... pretty nice ride too, with the
benz wheels on it.

I belong to a fairly large group of HVAC contractors throughout the
US.  The consensus of the ones that have a Sprinter is they love it.

im always looking for a better service rig (currently working out of a
trailer, http://inlinediesel.com/trucks/3gen/1/index.html) but out here in
montana you either have 4 wheel drive or you stay home all winter.  i tried
working out of a 2 wheel drive van last winter and found myself on the phone
more with tow trucks than with customers.  i moved over to a 4x4 ranger with
a utility bed but that was just to small.

That trailer must be fun to pull on a snotty road in the winter.  We
have a couple of 2 wheel Dodge vans w/studded snows all around for
upstate NY.

sweet!  ive been working on the side for some time and recently quit my job
to go out on my own (http://BighornRefrigeration.com).  im finding that im a
better service tech than i am a business owner.  although ive owned
businesses before, until i grow to the point of hiring employees im having a
lot of trouble working all day in the field, and then all night in the
office.

i wont be able to pull it this winter.  im hoping to get a utilty bed on my
ram before this winter, then i can just use the trailer for hauling
condensing units/furnaces on installations and just run the truck on service
calls.

thanks for the link, im sure ill use it!

Outfit I used to work for runs them as company vehicles. Lots of gear
inside and ladder rack on the roof.  HUGE PITA to get the ladders off of
them. Parts are RIDICULOUS in price. 1600 bucks for a front hub and
brakes. The A/C is a JOKE. Even with the work wall in them they barely
keep the front cab cool. And NOISY in the cab.

Passenger version reminds me too much of a Beechcraft puddle jumper.
