Overland Classifieds :: 2018 Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 Sportsmobile

The Mercedes Sprinter is, in many ways, the definitive vanlife platform and has become a figurehead of the movement. Benefits include long-lived motors and drivetrains (many owners report in excess of half a million miles), generous interior living space, well-equipped cabins, and parts available internationally. In addition, this vehicle enjoys excellent aftermarket support with a wide array of parts, accessories, and services designed to uprate this platform for travel. It’s, therefore, no surprise that the 4WD variant is an increasingly popular option for overlanding, with recent examples on our forum including this 2022 4×4 camper, a 2019 Winnebago Revel, and a 2017 Whiteweather 4×4 conversion. Stock all-terrain capability is already impressive, but thanks to aftermarket upgrades from the likes of ARB, Van Compass, and Sprinter Upgrades, this vehicle can be heavily upgraded for adventure. If you’d like a better idea of what a modified Sprinter 4×4 is capable of, then check out Desert Overlanding by Chad DeRosa on his YouTube channel. Today’s 2018 offering has covered just 72,900 miles and features premium modifications and a desirable Sportsmobile camper interior.
