I'll do some homework, thanks. Also thinking I may skip the pop up and go to a 3500 144" high top.

Better yet, work with your nearest Freighliner Dealer. It didn't take me very long to get my new van from them and SMB North couldn't care less where I got the van. I also got it cheaper than the price from SMB. I could even buy a MB star for the front if I really wanted but I think I get better service from the Freightliner Dealers with a Freightliner badged van.

jrobe and Fitz- very much appreciate the comments and I am in touch with some freightliners. Interesting! Couple new developments: I learned they only make a 144" 3500 high roof in two wheel drive, not 4x4, so sticking with the 2500; debating going with a high roof and no penthouse (roof top AC allows for the 26 gallon Agile tank in the tire well, elimination of roof penetrations, and fewer issues with maintenance, snow, etc. Decision not final. Still working at it and I appreciate the help!

Here is what I have learned: Sprinter new facilities in Carolina are having issues that are exacerbated by Amazon apparently purchasing 20,000 vans- as a result I am on hold pending more certain delivery windows
