2013 Pebble Gray Mercedes-Benz 144" High Top Sprinter Van
This van was professionally converted by Outsidevan. Every detail of this van has been carefully thought through
and expertly crafted. Outsidevan currently has a 1 year long queue for conversions ... this van is ready today.
It includes *everything* AND the kitchen sink (of course). Very little expense was spared. Starting with fully
insulating and paneling the walls with carbon look. The bed is arranged as a sideways sleeper with flares by
Flarespace. This allows for waaay more space in the van overall (I also have a third panel which allows for
conversion back to a full parallel sleeping arrangement).The layout of the van allows for a few different options
for travel. If you have some friends on the trip with you, you can keep the extra row two seater bench seat in the
van. If not, you can remove the 2 seater and allow some extra space for gear.
Some of the luxuries ...
The custom galley includes a sink, butane stove, and Isotherm DR65 fridge. The countertop is sustainable durable
paperstone. The Isotherm is the perfect balance of size, accessibility and power consumption. The fridge operates
both AC and DC and switches automatically. The sink is fed by an ultra efficient pump and a 15 gallon water tank
over the rear driver's side wheel well.
In addition to the galley drawers, there are matching upper cabinets to stow more gear and supplies for the road.
There's also a removable cabinet that sits to the left of the galley for even more storage on longer road trips.
There is a shower pan and shower attachment at the rear of the van for rinsing your body and rinsing your
bikes/boards etc.
The Espar D2 diesel heater keeps things toasty. It's fueled by the diesel van fuel tank and can easily keep the van
comfy on freezing nights.
There is an extensive power system. This includes a 100amp Zamp solar panel with charge controller ... along with
two 6V 220 amp hour batteries mounted under the chassis. The house batteries are charged while the van is in motion
and of course solar charged. Additionally, there is shore power which supports plugging the vehicle into a standard
15amp outlet. This allows for battery charging and powering accessories from AC power while plugged in.
The van includes a ARB compressor for inflating tires and kites or just cleaning the van of debris from being in
the country.
The dash is wrapped to give a refined carbon fiber appearance, matching the headliner and walls.
The driver and passenger seats are both air suspension seats. This is possibly one of the top 3 options on the van.
It allows for a way softer ride. This option is no longer available from the factory on new 144" vans. The
passenger seat is also on a swivel for seating while camped. The seats are black leatherette.
There is a full walkabout roof rack for extra gear or enjoying a cup of coffee at sunrise with a view.
The van comes with a Park Tools bicycle repair stand mounted on the inside of the rear door and also comes with a
Park Tools professional tire inflator for use with the compressor. Additionally there are two fork mounts on the
interior of the van for mounting bikes under the bed ...
There is a 8' Fiamma awning that can be quickly cranked out on hot days or provide cover on rainy days.
On the exterior, you've got a towing hitch (tows 5000lbs), ladder to access the roof, blacked out wheels/detailing
and tinted windows.
The Pebble Gray color is highly sought after. It's a very subtle gray and looks awesome contrasted with the blacked
out exterior details. Tires are a year old and brakes were just services. The van is in perfect shape ready for the
road. It has 58k miles, which is just a warmup for these vans.

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars
Thu, Mar 14 2024In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in. By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
Mercedes-Benz C-Class scores well in TUV lifecycle analysis
Sat, Mar 29 2014Mercedes-Benz drivers and treehuggers don't always go hand in hand, but, like a lot of other companies, the German automaker is looking to boost its green cred. This time, it's all about the car's lifecycle carbon footprint. The Daimler AG unit is using its new C-Class sedan as an example of how it's making progress in that department. Mercedes-Benz, citing the inspection authority TUV Sud, says the 2015 C-Class has a 10-percent lower lifecycle carbon footprint than its 2014 predecessor, based on driving about 125,000 miles over the life of the car. About 95 percent of the car (by weight) is recyclable, slightly higher than the average for most vehicles, and the model has upped its amount of recyclable materials up by 23 percent and increased its use of "natural materials" by 55 percent. Better aerodynamics also helps things out on the fuel-economy front, Benz says. Taking a longer view, the 2015 C-Class's carbon footprint is 28 percent better than the 2007 version that launched the vehicle line. The 2015 C-Class hasn't received a fuel-economy rating from the US Environmental Protection Agency, which tagged the 2014 C350 with a combined fuel-efficiency rating of 24 miles per gallon from its 3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine. Check out Mercedes-Benz's press release below and find the Autoblog First Drive impressions here. TUV Environmental Certificate: The new C-Class makes its mark with an exemplary life cycle assessment Stuttgart, Mar 28, 2014 The C-Class sets efficiency benchmarks for its class, helped by an intelligent lightweight concept, excellent aerodynamics and new, frugal engines. The neutral inspectors from the TUV Sud technical inspection authority have confirmed the high level of environmental compatibility of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Besides a sensuous, clean-cut design, a top-class interior and a host of technical innovations, the premium saloon also boasts an exemplary life cycle assessment, which is why it has been awarded the Environmental Certificate in accordance with the ISO 14062 standard. Professor Dr. Herbert Kohler, Chief Environmental Officer at Daimler AG: "Our engineers have pulled out all the stops in an effort to lower fuel consumption while at the same time further accentuating the car's sporty character. By employing an intelligent lightweight design with a high proportion of aluminium, for example, it has been possible to make the new C-Class up to 100 kilograms lighter than its predecessor.
2023 Mercedes-Maybach S 680 by Virgil Abloh is maximum fashion with a V12
Tue, Apr 5 2022If the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 wasn’t already exclusive enough for you, listen up. This is the limited-edition Maybach by Virgil Abloh version of the Mercedes-Maybach S 680, and there will only be 150 of them built for the world. The vehicle is the result of a collaboration between Virgil Abloh and Mercedes chief designer Gordon Wagener. Mercedes says the design was finalized prior to AblohÂ’s passing in November 2021. In case youÂ’re unfamiliar with Abloh, know that he was many things throughout his life. HeÂ’s known best for being a fashion designer and entrepreneur, but he was also an artist, philanthropist and architect. As for the car itself, the exterior uses a two-tone paint combo that you might recall from the Project Maybach electric off-road coupe. The bottom half is meant to make you think of sand, while the top half contrasts that in a glossy Obsidian Black finish. The window frames lose their bright look and are painted black to make it as monolithic as possible from the side. Even the forged wheels are painted in the sandy hue. The same theme continues for the interior. ItÂ’s a black and tan two-tone throughout, and MercedesÂ’ Nappa Leather is used to cover surfaces. A unique Mercedes-Maybach and Virgil Abloh logo is inscribed on the center console to denote this carÂ’s special-edition status. YouÂ’ll see the same logo on rear cushions, headrests and door sills. Mercedes even went so far as to modify the infotainment system and its controls for this special edition. The “home” button gets a sandy Abloh theme, and so do the selectable apps on screen. TheyÂ’re decorated with fashion accessories, and theyÂ’re hopefully still as easy to depict and use as MercedesÂ’ standard MBUX icons. As for extras beyond the car itself, every one of these special-edition models comes with a wooden box emblazoned with the Mercedes-Maybach and Virgil Abloh logo. Inside the box, youÂ’ll find a 1:18 replica of the car, a carabiner hook and your two keys. YouÂ’re also going to get a car cover featuring the Virgil Abloh logo with the car, but this one doesnÂ’t fit in the box. If you really want to look the part next to your car, there is a whole line of clothing designed by Virgil Abloh that is launching today, too. It comprises clothing done in shades and hues similar to the car, so you can truly look the part hopping out of your Virgil Abloh Mercedes-Maybach.
