    Air ride seat for sprinters

Not sure if they would fit in the sprinter they look rather wide. These here are some of the nicest, you can't go wrong with recaro. They make...

If you have a friend that is good at cutting metal you can easily do it. The volvo s80 seats are cheap and very comfortable. I'm going to try to...

    Air ride seat for sprinters

Which one is going to ride smoother?? Things will get better with technology increasing. Air ride about to...

    I don't buy them newer then 06 and with 250k or less. I'd maybe go 300k if the price was right and it was mint, no rust. :p

    Speed would really help though on getting the loads there on time, especially in the mid west and western states where its a wide open road! Get a Sprinter and you can share the same numbers :rolleyes:

    How do you make money with a cargo van?

    If you have the right carrier you can pretty much go anywhere except Oregon Washington Idaho and Montana. Also weight capacity helps, most carriers will put 3000 lbs MAX on a Sprinter or similar vehicle.
