You would love the Sprinter, Jim.
The only thing I can think of negative is the lousy traction in snow, which you probably don't get much of. But all vans are lousy in snow. Just load it up & carry a shovel.
Some are wondering about crosswinds. I've had 50 mph side gusts at 65-70 mph road speed and that can be dicey if the road is slick. I had to monitor the dashboard exterior temp. indicator (sensor below front license plate) as it was hovering between 31 and 33 F with damp road at the time. Temp. indicator was very helpful there, allowing me to reduce speed and be prudent.
