Sprinter 4x4 - anything I should know before buying?

[Stu]

Hi guys,

Apologies for the vague nature of my post but I've been offered a great deal on a Sprinter 4x4 van that I'm planning on taking.

I haven't had a sprinter since 2004 when I had one in the UK, so I'm super far out of the loop with them. I'm replacing a 2014 E-250 which I hated doing milage in.

I'll be using it for a mixture of work and play and uplifting it myself. I ski/snowboard, dirt bike and cycle with buddies so it'll be a pretty basic build-out that offers some creature comforts for road trips but retains a lot of storage.

The one I'm looking at is a 170" 2500, which seems massive, but I'm not looking at overland adventures or anything - I have a Jeep for that. Not planning on towing or anything so I figured the 2500 was a smarter play for comfort?

Anything I should know or be aware of before taking the plunge?
