I see more and more of them in the construction trade. Mostly good reviews when I ask. I also ask any FedEx, UPS, etc. driver when I see them what they think. Again, most like them. The complaints I hear are Sprinters go through brakes and tires pretty quick. My guess is the brakes are typical MB, use soft pads and make the rotors last, replace pads often. Regarding the tires, anything that tall and heavy will use up tires quickly if driven anything more than sedately. I don't know many US drivers that drive sedately.... If I could swing the $30K price tag I would consider buying one. RT
