Heavy Duty Mercedes Sprinter Put to the Test

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We spent two years working with Whitefeather 4x4 Conversions to upgrade two Mercedes Sprinter 3500 cutaway chassis into heavy-duty off-road machines, and today we put one to the test.
This 144" Sprinter chassis, originally 2WD, had its entire transfer case, axles, and drivetrain replaced with that of a heavy duty 4x4 Ford F350 chassis. It is equipped with a lift kit and now sits six and a half inches higher than stock. Other capabilities include 4x4 low range, locking differential, anti-slip, and more.
Here are some of the upgrades:
- 6.5" lift
- Ford F350 front axle
- Custom front + rear driveshaft
- Ford F350 transfer case
- Ford F350 hub locks
- Cryo disc brake upgrade
- Custom front sway bar
- Ford F350 front shock absorbers made by Bilstein
- Fox rear shock absorbers
- Oversize wheels and tires
- Wider stance than Sprinter with custom rear wheel spacers
We have two of these Sprinter chassis, one a 144" wheelbase and the other a 170", in our possession. They are both available for prospective Advanced RV clients to claim for a custom B Box build. Alternatively, since we have a multi-year backlog, we are also willing to sell them outright to a Do-it-Yourself buyer.

    Theres no weight on an open differential chassis. What did you think this would show?

    I am not in a place where I can get one of these now but if I was going to order from you it would on this chassis! My RV dream is the long base Sprinter with better off road capabilities, without sacrificing the road manners and comforts, and custom built by ARV.

    Thank goodness for Rob's YJ. Mike, some weight on the back end and some off road tires would've given you a chance. Not sure if you had the lockers on? I love the concept. Hope to see that best at Moab someday.

    Configure it like a Kei Car (Japan mini truck). flat bed, foldable side walls on the bed, 4 wheel drive, some have dump truck features.

    Would a Ford Transit 2WD model (instead of a Sprinter 2WD model) be easier to covert to 4WD using Ford F350/other parts?

    Way too light on the rear, tires over inflated and simply the wrong tires. That said,… it looked so wet that it might not have made it up there anyway But I always enjoy watching somebody else. Screw up rather than doing it myself. Makesfor a good TV content 😂
