Quote: I don't just haul stuff, I haul a LOT of stuff. And I need an open top to do it. I have forklifts drop cubes of masonry block, ceramic tile, scaffolding, etc into my bed. I need an open top to do that.

That's it exactly. I talked to a hardwood flooring guy who switched from 1 ton GMC vans to the Sprinter, and he ranted an raved about how great it was and how much money he was saving on fuel. Its a great candidate for ambulances, too.

I believe they are RWD only. At least, they were when I went to test drive one a couple of years ago.
