Karl:

We didn’t receive any MB badged Sprinter models here until 2003 and most were still Freightliner / Dodge until the second generation chassis came.

My dump-bodies are antiquated imports.

The AWD Sprinter vans have been available since 2017/2018 … there is a local dentist whose kids go to my son’s school who bought one as a school-run vehicle (that can also pull a horse trailer) … north of $70K with all the bells and whistles.

You can now purchase Sprinter chassis w/ dump body in Canada (and likely the U.S.A), but only the 3500kg version and not the 5000/6000 models and the dumps are not Meiller.
