Luxury RV, recreational vehicle - Mercedes Vito, Metris

Luxury Motorhome VAN Mercedes Vito, Metris 2016, 2017.
So you heard Mercedes is bringing a smallish utility van to America and found yourself thinking: who cares. I was there too until I put a few miles on a 2016 Mercedes Metris, and experienced genuinely amazing driving dynamics. In a utility wagon that can carry 2,502 pounds.
(Full Disclosure: Mercedes-Benz flew me all the way to Colorado and let me hang out with them at some fancy resort just so I could drive the Metris and Sprinter. They also fed me some wonderful pills that made me feel human again after a wicked bout of altitude sickness. But I had to sleep in a van and drive the airport shuttle for some crazy Texan who told me about his Chevy SSR for two hours. So, we’re actually kinda even on this one.)
Just to make sure you got that: Metris’ payload capacity tops out at one and a quarter tons. That’s substantial even by full-size American pickup truck standards, and downright unreal for a vehicle shorter than a Chevy Colorado.
