2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-Class 3500XD

The Sprinter is Mercedes-Benz's full-size work van, the one you see hauling cargo and shuttling people across the country. It drives like a big van, with a commanding view over traffic and a turning radius that surprises you in tight lots. The cabin is utilitarian but well built, with plenty of storage nooks and a straightforward layout that's easy to live with daily. You can get it as a cargo van or a passenger van, and the tall roof options let you stand up inside while loading. The 3500XD is the heavy-duty Sprinter, built to handle bigger payloads than the standard 2500 and 3500 models. It uses a 3.0L V6 making 188 horsepower paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, which moves the van along steadily but not quickly. The XD chassis adds a higher gross vehicle weight rating, so you can load it up without worrying about exceeding the van's limits.
