Without question, the Mercedes 3.0 V6 Turbo Diesel is popular among van builders & 4WD has been the go-to for adventure van builds. But, aside from a handful of years where Mercedes offered a 4 cylinder diesel option, it’s also been the only choice for several years. This begs a question: Now that Mercedes offers a gas alternative, is the V6 diesel still the best choice for a Sprinter van build?
In the video, we cover:
✔︎ Why we didn’t consider the gas Sprinter van until late in our van search
✔︎ The key advantages and limitations of choosing a Sprinter with the turbocharged 2.0 4-Cylinder gas engine vs the 3.0 V6 Turbo Diesel
✔︎ Plus, Now that we’ve driven over 3,000 miles, we share our thoughts on the Sprinter gas engine’s performance, including what it’s like to drive and the fuel economy across a range of driving conditions
✔︎ Thoughts on who should consider the turbocharged 4-cylinder gas engine and who should spend the extra money of a V6 turbo diesel
