1991 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-Class 4500 High Roof

The Sprinter-Class is Mercedes-Benz's full-size van, the one that set the template for modern cargo and passenger vans. It drives like a heavy-duty truck, with a commanding view and a ride that's more about stability than comfort. You get a huge cargo area and a choice of high-roof bodies, so there's room for tall loads and long hauls. These vans are known for their robust construction, but rust and electrical gremlins can show up on older examples. Stepping up to the 4500 High Roof from the 3500XD gets you a heavier-duty chassis and a higher gross vehicle weight rating, so it's built for bigger payloads and commercial use. The 3.0L I6 makes 188 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, routed through a seven-speed automatic to the rear wheels, which gives it enough grunt for highway merging even when loaded.
