Chris/Ruth, we have a 2015 170 4x4 with a custom interior layout done by the Austin, Tx group. We have taken it off road in Wyoming to test what it can and not do, it di well for the size of vehicle. As per the prior comments the 170in is long but the added room and convenience is a worth well trade. Yes, you can into places where turning can be a problem. At present when I don't know the road I get and walk it to make sure what is ahead. Having the trailer hitch helps with keeping the underside protected. We also did a 5 week trip this past fall, thru south central British Columbia and was on back road and logging roads and the vehicle did well. Having indoor toilet and shower was worth having the 170in Sprinter. Hope this helps.
