2015 Mercedes Sprinter 4wd 2500 144” wheel base, low roof model. 3.0L V6 turbo diesel engine, 5 spd automatic transmission, 4wd with low range and under 57k original miles. I am the second owner of this van and it has been used as the flagship development van for Van Compass where we specialize in manufacturing high end suspension, exterior armor / accessories, and interior components for Mercedes Sprinters, Ford Transits and Ram Promaster vans.

This Sprinter was used to develop the full line of Sprinter 4wd components offered by Van Compass. Now that the development of the 2007-2018 Mercedes Sprinter platform is complete, it is with a heavy heart that we need to sell our beloved development van and move onto the next platform for us as a company. The list of upgrades on this van is long and you will not find a more capable 4wd Sprinter on the market today. This is arguably the most capable factory based 4wd Sprinter van you will find in America.

Below is a list of the suspension and exterior upgrades installed on this van:

  • Van Compass Stage 6.5 kit. Full 2.0” lift kit with electronically adjustable Falcon shocks featuring “Auto” mode which puts the shocks in an active G-sensing mode.
  • Milestar Patagonia M/T 315/75/17 tires mounted on Trail Ready beadlock wheels.
  • Full Van Compass skid plate package. Engine, Transmission, T-case, Fuel tank and rear Differential guard.
  • Van Compass Rocker Guards. True rocker guards with integrated high lift jacking points.
  • Van Compass side ladder.
  • Van Compass ultra slim prototype roof rack with single 190 watt solar panel.
  • Van Compass driver and passenger rear door caddies. Passenger side equipped with Owl vans large galley box.
  • Van Compass rear tug step.
  • Van Compass front hidden winch mount with Warn Zeon 12-S winch.
  • Van Compass Floating light mount with Vision-X 8.7” CG2 Cannons
  • Van Compass Hoodline LED pod mounts with Vision-X Cannons
  • Bilstein B6 front struts with under 1k miles on them.
  • Van Compass front sway bar disconnect.
  • Van Compass Air System mount with Viar 450H compressor, 2.0 gallon air tank and front / rear air chucks.

As for the interior on this van, it was built with to be simple, robust, light weight and comfortable. I would describe it as more of a weekender than a full time vanlifer. That being said, my wife have done up to 3 full consecutive weeks in this van and it worked great for us. It is a true 4 seater van utilizing an OEM Ford Transit 2 person bench seat that is securely bolted into the vehicle. The front passenger seat is on a swivel and rotates around for lounging. The van is fully sound deadened and insulated including the floor, walls and roof. A complete set of insulated Strawfoot window covers are included. There is a Maxx-fan Deluxe 5100K installed on the roof above the bed to help keep cool during the hotter months. A Snugger diesel fired cabin heater which draws diesel fuel from the factory fuel tank keeps the van nice and toasty inside during the winter. This is a true four season van and we’ve enjoyed it immensely in the 4 years we’ve owned it. Pretty much everything inside the van is made from aluminum and is thru bolted through the floors / walls to ensure that nothing will come loose or rattle apart from extended offroad excursions. The van features a 16 gallon fresh water tank and a 7 gallon grey water tank with the ability to switch the drain over so it just dumps on the ground easily. The fridge in the van is a Truckfridge 130L 12V fridge.

The cooktop is a simple propane unit from Amazon that runs off the small green Coleman propane bottles. There is an on demand propane hot water heater mounted on the inside of the back door for a hot outdoor shower. It pulls water from the 16 gallon tank on the van. Other than the cook top and external shower, everything on the van is either 12V or diesel fired so it is very simple. The 130 amp solar panel on the roof helps keep the batteries topped off when the vehicle is parked. The house batteries (Three 100Ah AGMs) are wired so that the alternator charges them when the vehicle is running as well.

Multiple touch face LED lights are wired about the interior. The factory headliner is still in place and utilized with laminate wood flooring sides cleanly finishing off the rear cargo area walls. There are aluminum fender well boxes in the “garage” area where mountain bikes are easily stored with the front tire removed. Ski / snowboard rack along the driver side fits a pair of boards or 2 pairs of skis. The bed is the original prototype for Van Compass’s Flip & Load bed system which means you can easily flip the bed up and still be able to haul cargo or even a motorcycle.

This van has been meticulously maintained and modified correctly. Malone tune, Rawtek exhaust, Schaeffer’s oil and Mahle filters only. A large Derale Trans cooler, and Service B has just been completed. This vehicle routinely returns 18+ mpg. I cannot stress the quality of the construction on this van enough. This is not your average #vanlife build with tons of heavy wood and self tapping screws into the van’s sheet metal. This is a robust, rock solid vehicle ready to use for simple weekend adventures or ship it all over the world for true global expeditions. This van is extremely capable and reliable. This was a German built crew van. Not a cargo van that was disassembled and re-assembled in the states. This is truly one of the greats. We’ll miss it immensely but are excited to pass it along to the next owner and hear about the new adventures. The build thread for this van, although it's not a very detailed thread, can be located here:


The wrap / stickers can be removed upon purchase. It is a 2015 and spent the first year of its life parked on the busy streets of San Francisco so there are some door dings and scratches here and there but it still looks great. The van will come fully detailed for the next owner. Yes the parts are powder coated yellow, this was our show van and it was built to attract attention which it does exceptionally well. Please email for serious inquiries and I’ll promptly reply or give you a call. Asking $95k obo. Located in Post Falls Idaho. Rob@vancompass.com

Here's a few more interior photos. Little better quality than my old I-phone with the van sitting indoors. Yes the seat belts are orange. Factory option which is kinda cool IMO.
