Mercedes Benz Sprinter vans have developed a solid reputation for being reliable, comfortable, powerful, and, perhaps most importantly, highly customizable. From individual #vanlife conversions to fleets of delivery vehicles, it is unlikely you haven’t come across one of these vehicles at least in passing. The 2022 extended cargo van is Mercedes’ latest and roomiest model, with plenty of added tech for increased comfort and efficiency.
2022 Mercedes 2500 vs 2500 Extended
