2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Van Cargo Space For years, the public has only been able to get their hands on one main Mercedes-Benz commercial van, the Sprinter. While the Sprinter is well-loved and well-known, it may not be the right size. In the 2018 model year, Mercedes-Benz rolled out the goldilocks van, the Metris. Sized between a Minivan and the Sprinter, the Metris fills in a part of the market that isn’t really reached by other automakers. 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris Worker Cargo Space The Metris Worker is a business-oriented version of the Metris, and it has plenty of room for cargo. Having 183 cu.ft. of space allows owners to stow far more than most of the vehicles on the road. The roof is high, but not Sprinter high, so it does well with carrying bulk groceries, oversized equipment, and other hardware, but isn’t as well suited to converting or installing major components or appliances. 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Space This version, without the “worker” branding, is going to deliver the same 183 cu.ft. of internal space, making it essentially the same as the van listed above. The 126-inch wheelbase allows for a handsome 2,425 lb. payload capacity, so you can make as much use of the internal space as possible. This isn’t the best version of the Metris for stowing large amounts of cargo, however. 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris Extended Wheelbase Cargo Space The additional nine inches of length on the 135-inch wheelbase let drivers make the most of their Mercedes-Benz van. This way, the internal cargo space in the Metris increases to 199 cu.ft. Just shy of a full 200 cu.ft, the cargo capacity should do all you need and more. The height does not change with this wheelbase, and neither does the width. The payload is actually rated as slightly less than the other cargo Metris models. 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Cargo Van Cargo Capacity How to Schedule a Test Drive The best way to get to know the Metris is by taking it for a test drive. To set one up, contact the Mercedes-Benz of Salem dealership in Salem, Oregon by phone, online, or simply visit the lot yourself. Schedule a test drive today!

2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris Van Trim Levels Trying to explain the Mercedes-Benz large van series can get a bit complicated. There are so many different versions of everything that it can be hard to keep track of everything, but here we will explain every different trim level or equipment version as simple as possible. Read on to learn more. Metris vs Sprinter There are two different Mercedes-Benz van models, the Metris and the Sprinter. The Metris resembles something like an extra-large minivan, whereas the Sprinter looks clearly like a commercial vehicle. The Metris Passenger Van looks the most like a Honda Odyssey or Chrysler Pacifica type of minivan design. Metris Worker vs Metris Another point of confusion comes from the fact that there are two different versions of the Metris, one that’s called the Metris Worker and one simply called the Metris. The Metris Worker series is designed for more commercial cargo or passenger-carrying, while the regular Metris is for personal use. Both the Metris and the Metris Worker have Passenger and Cargo variations. Interior Features of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris Further Customization Options Getting down to the details, the Mercedes-Benz Metris may have different seating configurations, rear door styles, or wheelbases.

2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Seating Space When you really need to take a lot of people on the road, and a regular minivan just isn’t big enough, one of the best places to look is the Mercedes-Benz commercial lineup of large vans. Mercedes-Benz makes two different models of large vans, the Metris and the Sprinter. The Sprinter is the larger of the two, and it is sold in passenger, cargo, crew van, and cab chassis formats. If it isn’t already obvious, the passenger van is equipped with multiple rows of seats behind the driver’s seat row and has windows for passengers to see out. All other versions have either just one back row of seats or none at all. 144” Wheelbase?h3 Subdividing the Sprinter even further, the passenger version of the Sprinter can have two different wheelbases. The smallest of them is 144 inches, which allows for a total of 12 passengers. The driver and passenger seats are bucket seats, and two rows behind the front row are 3-seat rows. All the way in the back, a final row seats 4 people. If 12 seats aren’t enough for you, there is the 170-inch wheelbase, described below. 170” Wheelbase This wheelbase of the Sprinter is the most passenger-friendly version of the large van. Making use of one more row of seats, the 170-inch wheelbase can fit up to 15 passengers. There could technically be room for more seats, but the three middle rows are made up of three seats each, so there is a little bit of room for people to move down to the very back of the vehicle.

Have you been feeling your car shake or vibrate? Does it happen when you’re idling? How about when you accelerate? Or when you brake? Whenever it happens, it’s probably pretty concerning to you. A vibrating vehicle can feel very unsafe to drive, so let’s go over some possible causes and solutions. You might also be interested in: How to save money on a rental car 3 reasons why your car is vibrating Worn or damaged brake rotors If your brake pedal shakes when you press it, you probably have some worn out brake rotors. This can also cause vibrations in your steering wheel. Luckily, this only requires a fairly simple fix and we can have your brake rotors replaced in a couple hours. You may only need new brake pads, but that problem usually results in grinding rather than shaking. Worn suspension parts person working on brake rotor The common theme here is wear and tear. If your suspension gets too worn down or even becomes loose, it will cause your steering wheel to shake when you are in motion. Worn out ball joints or tire rode ends make it nearly impossible to align your car, and misaligned wheels can also cause vibrations. Tire issues If your tires are unbalanced, underinflated, or just worn down too much, it can lead to shaking. A simple visual inspection of your tires can be all it takes to avoid these problems. You should always maintain the optimal tire pressure and get your tires rotated and balanced regularly. This doesn’t require much work for you, just a little awareness. Come on down to Mercedes of Salem to learn more about our services and how we can help you. If your car is shaking, don’t waste any time and bring it into our service center as soon as possible.
