1992 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-Class 4500 High Roof V6

This is Mercedes-Benz's full-size van, the one you see hauling cargo or converted into a camper. It drives like a big commercial van, with a commanding view and a steady, predictable feel on the highway. The ride is firm and a bit bouncy when empty, but it settles down nicely once you've got some weight in the back. You get a tall, boxy cargo area and sliding side doors, so loading and unloading is about as easy as it gets. The 4500 High Roof V6 is the entry-level Sprinter, giving you a lower roof and rear-wheel drive for a lower starting price than the 3500XD models. Its 3.0L I6 makes 188 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seven-speed automatic sending power to the rear wheels. The high roof gives you enough standing room to move around inside, which is the main reason to pick this body style over the standard-roof vans.
