Lol, these people do not care about sprinter vans.

The online crowd has such a love for sprinter vans, I don't see anyone talking about them except a very small group.

The people around me have F250s + a trailer twice the size of a small sprinter. They can work and have a small house behind them when needed.

The Euro vans (sprinter and transit) are very well suited to businesses who'll own new stuff, depreciate and trade in before it's out of warranty. There's a reason those things get exported to the low labor cost 3rd world from there rather than winding up on used car lots like domestic van based single rear wheel box trucks and utility body stuff.

Oh I know they are good and I see them almost daily on the road. But it is a completely different market.

Sprinter/Transit will NOT replace F250s.
