- Should be a nice truck, but probably still not much towing capacity ....

Correct only rated for 4,400lb in Australia, 7,500lb in US. Some manufacturers have alrady been using the 4 X4 version.jpg)
- Maybe. Maybe not. It's a hopeful sign, but I don't see any mention of the 2500 or 3500, or badging. This may be a 1500, in which case it'll make a poor base for anything but a minimalist camper van.
Jim, "Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again." - I don't think it's going to be a "traditional" 4x4 with low lock etc, but sure will be nice in the snow and some back roads and even on some beaches. Definitely will expand the range. Can you imagine a diesel, class B from the factory without having to put on non oem 4x4.
As far as towing, it won't be great, but I don't think any manufacturer will build the perfect RV to make everyone happy all at once.
For me, towing 7.5K is good enough, probably more than I need, but the 4x4 Class B and a diesel is making my mouth water. - Sprinter 4X4 thread from a few months ago.

- It's a full time AWD setup and will be available in all wheelbases and capacities, 15, 25 & 3500 chassis.
This according to Dave the Sprinter Guy in Austin, TX. He sells Sportsmobile all their Sprinters.
Certainly not a heavy duty 4wd setup bobojay5 wrote:

Correct, more like a factory Sportsmobile.- I would almost be more interested in higher ground clearance than AWD. A 4WD van with low ground clearance may be a little better in snow but it isn't going on a lot of Forest Service Roads (especially with low and exposed water tanks and generators).
