One showed up at a dealer near me in central California today so I went over there after work and went for a test drive.
It was a Silver 1500 Hi Roof 136"wb
It's pretty quick. Stomp on it and it just takes off.
Hit the brakes and those big Brembos STOP RIGHT NOW !!!
It handles good. Much more nimble and surefooted that the Sprinters I've tested.
Fit and finish was good. Interior was good also.
Unfortunately, it had the factory bulkhead partition installed. This severely restricted the driver seat adjustment and royally screwed up the ergonomic situation for me. I'm 6'4". I must have looked like a circus bear on a bicycle, driving that thing around. Totally un-acceptable.
If you aren't on the short side of average, you probably won't be wanting that factory partition.
So, the dealer is going to call me when one shows up without the partition and I'll go back and try that one on for size.
IF I can fit comfortably and IF the mpg numbers are right, this van is a serious contender.
