You have to be the best ever advert for Mercedes Sprinters, you should be a paid ambassador for the brand. After some bad experiences with a chronically unreliable 2012 Merc SL, I swore I would never touch another Mercedes, but your frankly insane road test has changed my mind.
Hahaha! She's making a believer out of me, too, Marcus- Thanks for watching!
Super rad! I just bought a ‘22 Sprinter and I love it! Is at the shop getting a full matte black wrap, I’m 29, quit my job and I’m just going to travel for the next year! I’m taking it to Washington state for my first trip! I found your channel while I was looking for sprinter parts. I’m a super fan now!
@@702Hardcafehe gone
How’s your trip going dude?
Don’t skip out on the Palouse area.. Pullman is an amazing place.. small college town, but the geography is wild and beautiful
I recommend to get a season pass to our nations state parks.. I've done the trip to Washington State from Texas 4x and always hit up different national parks..
I can really appreciate the time and effort you put into all your art. Every video is a short film and is beautifully shot. I really like how you construct your shots, It's inspiring. Keep on trucking brother, Love ya.
Chad, we love your CZcams videos. They are awesome. Thank you for taking so much time to edit them and share your trips.
My pleasure!
The Sprinter is a remarkable vehicle that sets the standard for luxury and comfort❤️ It emanates elegance and sophistication. This vehicle is the ultimate choice for those in the business world and VIPs who value style, comfort, and performance🙌🏻🙌🏻 Its advanced features and impeccable design make it an exceptional ride for anyone seeking a first-class experience🔥🔥
I can't wait for a new video this channel needs a million subscriber for real you deserve that
Lol! Absolutely!! I've been doing a lot of traveling this summer and fall, hopefully I'll get some time to edit and upload some new content soon. Thanks for watching, Lewis!
THIS IS THE VAN THAT WE ALL NEED🤩🤩🤩
What a beast
Monster of a Sprinter van
And now I know why your van can do more than ours can… so often I see these vans just parked at the beach or at a campground, not off road, and that was a tough road ! Great demo
german industry no one can compete with
Can't wait for a new video!
amazingly neat video. The view of the frame from below is really cool
Hi chad long time watcher... i miss the vanagan videos but this van is on a whole different level
Hey Chad your 2020 sprinter van is amazing on rough terrain wow that was a cool video thanks for taking us along ♥️✌️👍🙂🚐
Oh yes baby.love it...
Very cool!! and nicely done, especially for a van👍🏽
Keep on trucking brother!!!,love you videos Keep up the great work!!!greetings from Ireland ☘☘☘
I can see you’re truly loving your van. Congratulations on a dream come true for you Chad.
Thank you!
Friggin’ insane with a Sprinter. I’ve never taken my 2016 Sprinter fully ‘off-road’.
I’m not alone in saying that we Can wait to see the next adventure offerings!
Hey just saw you on chicken Andy's stream
Your camera must be terrified 😂
Looks pretty good!
Dang that’s solid, I got a live in ford transit 2 wheel drive love it to my death , but really uncapable with all the crap hanging all over the house lol , different styles , god bless ya all livin the van life !! My canned ravioli would be flying through my starboard side over the first bump in this one lol , high roofs are like a 49 foot sail on an inflatable sup 😊
I loved
That is epic!!!! Will have to go back over your channel & see what equipment u used 👍🏼
that GoPro what's to know what he did to you. hahah
Great…looking forward to your next video
? When’s it coming not too long I hope!!
تبارك الله احسن الخالقين
This should have way more likes
Amazing
I am super jealous 🫤
Impresionante...
This particular van is a good commercial for Mercedes Benz
Cant wait for the complete vid
Easier for shorts He does not give a f🙈🙈🙈🙈k About his regular subscribers

Thank you Chad you have helped me so much with my Van build even though I have no intention of going of road.
Buen Camino🙏
Hi Chad. Actually you don't have to travel to any special places to make a video. If you're camping, you can just record the camping, and show it here. We love to watch you camping.
Hope Mercedes sponsors you, this is next level overlanding 😊
I wish. But I didn’t “fit their criteria” hahah. Thanks for the kind words though! Cheers!
Good shots!
The only thing id be hesitate about is getting broken down out while taking it off road.. The lack of dealers that work on them and finding someone with a big enough rig to come rescue might be a bigger issue. Shes a beauty though 👌
Congrats CHAD! nice nd hansome gear same as you🥰 love from Pakistan,, if dont mind plz if you say some quotes behind the scenes when you showing nature,,its make you better 🙏🌹
I like the relatively low sound. Quite is better IMHO
Sick!
It's climbing 😮😅
Your setup is so sick 🔥
Your vids are awesome man.
Even tho i aint got a van, you are motivating me to finish my suburban and im gonna go freeze my ass off in it this winter.
I cant wait.
My wiskey is green tho and smokes lol
Have a good one Sir and keep doin you.
Thanks for all the adventures you are willing to document.
And not to mention the awesome recipe ideas!
Keep on Truck'n, Spyro- Cheers!
The more van lifers I see on CZcams, the more I appreciate what an incredible job you have done on the Spinter. Solid, comfortable and amazingly adaptable to changing terrain and weather. Enjoying re-watching the Arctic series, and looking forward to what's to come! ✌🏽❤
Wow, thank you! The Sprinter truly is a game changer. Yes, we ALL miss the ol' vanagan, but the comfort and stability of the Sprinter has been so appreciated, especially when you consider how long I've lived full-time in either the VW and the MB. Thanks for watching, Ada. Cheers!
Sounded like Jaws coming on the first clip... the predator!
I like it
Read end pos is awesome
Love to watch the van doing what it does best ! Sweet footage ! ✌️ 🚐
too easy! bring back the westfalia!
Hey Chad! Love watching your adventures. Any chance you might do the most remote road in North America, the trans taiga?
That Go pro was scared for its life 😁
Go Sprinter Van!
Wow just wow that was beautiful
I’m looking at a 2019 sprinter van to do a conversion and this channel makes it that much more of a reality than dream with seeing what it’s capable of.
Also, do you have front and rear axle lockers?
Oh he$$ no!! I would be afraid the van was going to tip over!!! lol
Chad, oh Chad, where aret thou? We need a video!
This van is sick 🔥
Ist das ein 419 er?
Klingt kernig, 👌🏻 denke da wurde ein wenig an der Abgasanlage „gefummelt“ 😁
What a beast. 👍
I love your videos man
I'm waiting for your new CZcams videos
Absolute unit
👋 Chad 😊 glad you are doing good😉
Just curious. When is Anne doing a vid with you again? (Sorry im kinda not updated just found your channel again) 😁
I wonder how many cameras he’s run over.?
Hey Chad, great videos!! Are you running the Renntech HHT? Pedal Control?
find me a single person sending it as hard as Chad is in the VanLife van!!. reply w link proof
Ready for the next one. thanks for the inspiration you give us and all the hard work you do in making these videos. I’ve been watching your older videos with the Volkswagen Westfalia. Would you ever shoot a video in the westfalia again?
I think you passed us on I84 in southern Idaho tonight around 7pm ish....
That would have been correct
Epic vehicle. 👍🏼
Sounds really gutless with the power and no flex at all but still I’m impressed
👍🏼🇺🇸
Very cool 😎 stay safe chad...
Жить хорошо
Remember the more off-road capable your vehicle is the worse places you end up getting stuck 😂🤣
Yep! Gotta pay attention to those limits, but always pushing one more step!
At what prices are these available? Older ones will be interesting too i guess
Great van! What's the ground clearance on it?
Really, the title should read: off-off-road :)
Idk how it hasnt tipped over yet while looking like a fridge
Make some more videos
What did the inside look like a mess , or.everything in it’s place.
Paul in California. Own a
transit 250 .
Do you know how much it weighs? I know this is a weird question but in the uk there are weight restrictions for each license, as I was wondering if you can drive this on a car license.
how many times usually you changed your times in an year??
Hello again. I actually would love to see you drive in deep sand, and see how the sprinter handles that.
What is this backrack ?
I need one for 2 bikes and 1 or 2 boxes dor gears...
Parts list? I like the running boards and roof rack
Does it have lockers?
What’s the exhaust in this bad boy?
Very good driving skills.
Not skill chancing, lots if cameras suffered in the past
are these automatic or manually transmition
how much do these cost
Why shorts and not vids, ?
2 liter 190 hp?
