Im a few days late replying to this but figured Id add my Sprinter experience.
The ambulance company I work for has switched to only Sprinters for our van units for the last 5 years or so. Ive driven them in all the weather that central Texas has thrown at us in that time and I love how they drive.
They handle great even in high cross winds.They havnt felt tippy at all whereas every Ford and Chevy van Ive driven feel incredibly top heavy and unstable. Ive seen a video of a Sprinter taken thru an accident avoidance course and around a skid pad with 55gal drums of water hanging from the ceiling and the Sprinter computer kept it in control and stable.
These vans are also super comfortable. Ive spent upwards of 12hrs in them at a stretch and never had an issue. The seats are adjustable in so many ways that it was easy to adjust to suit me.
If I could afford it we'd have a Sprinter B van in the driveway.
