Mercedes is merciless in removing authorization from any dealer who even thinks of upfitting a Sprinter to 4WD. I think there is one place that offers a conversion... but I've not seen them do any NCV3 Sprinters, only T1Ns.
Ford and Chevy... different story altogether. Sportsmobile has an excellent 4x4 conversion package, and Quigley has a separate conversion package that works well.
If you want to go off-road, I would wait until later this year. Quigley has promised a 4x4 upfit of the new Transit van, and I'm sure Sportsmobile will be nipping on their heels.
Also, Mercedes has announced 2015 Sprinters with 4WD. Orders start being taken in May, then made in September, so you might check with your local Mercedes-Benz or Freightliner dealer to see if you can order a 4x4 Sprinter. I'm sure Sportsmobile will be putting out upfits on this platform as well.
