Well kitted Econoline. no affiliation

Listed in the for sale by members now for $85k
I had a really nice conversation with the seller and said I would be interested at 70k at that time they wouldn’t go below 90. I ended up buying a 2wd v10 for 35. I’ve all the parts to do the 4x4 conversion at my shop already. Just need to find the time.
 
i think that video proves my point pretty well. A solid axle Econoline would have made short work of those obstacles. I’m not saying that sprinters can’t go off road. All I’m saying is that, in my experience, they can’t go as far as Econolines. They are limited by tire size and wheel travel but mostly by the nanny settings within the traction control computer. I’ve been in several situations, especially climbing rock steps, where the computer decides to cut the throttle. You push the peddle and nothing happens. That really limits your ability to get out there.
