Hi folks, Bryant Perkins Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead and look what I have here today. A 2022
Jupiter Red 144 standard roof gas cargo van.
This is special I ordered this one and I figured hey why not mix it up get a Jupiter
Red order with the black wheels. The contrasting black down the side, the black front grille,
also I think it gives it a great look. What's nice about this van it being gas
your maintenance intervals are once a year or every 15,000 miles or you might say well Bryant
it's a gas engine you know does it have enough power to to to move this vehicle with a payload.
So payload on this is 3,900 pounds all right and with the gas engine with 258 pound-feet of torque
more than enough because you have a nine-speed automatic transmission. So, there is no lag this
thing gets up and goes you have a 22-gallon gas tank. Believe me, I’ve sold quite a few of these
over the years and people keep on coming back and asking when they trade in for another gas because
this being a 1500, a half ton, it seems like that's a good sweet a sweet spot for being a half
ton and a gas engine. So what we're going to do I’m going to show you the engine compartment the
engine bay just a quick brief overview and then we'll go on the interior and show you some things
that I think are great about this van. Okay here goes the engine bay to the four-cylinder gas 144
cargo van 1500. So like I said 258 pound-feet of torque 188 horsepower. It's an inline-four.
You change your oil up to one year or every 15,000 miles synthetic oil is used which is a
great thing. So everything's very accessible to get to to check your fluids of course
everything in blue is for your windshield wiper fluid, your brake fluid is in the yellow with
the black. We have a top here that that shows oil where the oil goes dipstick for oil okay
as you can see is yellow. We have points for you to jump we have a red connection here also
where you know to jump for positive and negative. Air intake and radiator cooling fluid
so very easy and accessible to get to and another thing about this when you lift this hood up,
there's a latch here and you go like this and then just let it drop. Another important feature I want
to show we have this big windshield people go well how do you clean that thing you know
there's a step here where you can step on this and then you can clean the windshield
because obviously you know we're out in the desert sometime you get bugs at night but
that's the front end of the vehicle we're going to go on the interior and show you some things.
Okay now folks you're saying I told you it was a cargo van, that it is, but
I ordered this van with a side window okay it's an option to just to show you know you have over 200
configurations for the van so I like to mix it up a little bit you know show what can be done.
So I’m going to open this up this is 61 inches okay in length 59 inches width.
So we're gonna open this up I want to show you something we have
this option where there's a two stage opening okay that's the first stage.
So you say Bryant well what's the benefit is the benefit to that is if you're on an incline
or decline all right you know some doors will just automatically close all right so this is
a good thing so you don't have to open the door all the way just partial and then you can go ahead
and it'll lock and full open. So it has a plastic floor I’m going to jump on in and we'll talk about
some things. Okay we're inside the 144 cargo van so what you notice here you're going to see a
couple of things this is a plastic floor okay that's an option. We have sidewall paneling,
full sidewall paneling and then also there's some mounting points for tie down hooks that
you'll you're going to see on the side here there's there's 10 of them we have
2 4 6 8 10 going all the way back and that's good for tying down your load
if you have a pallet you can put a store two full pallets in here so that's the benefit of that.
Another thing you know I’m 6'3 you know and so you have five feet six inches of height which is nice.
Also you have about 11 feet of length going in here. You're going to see these mounting points
going all the way across you know you have over 5,000 wells in this van which is just incredible.
Tt takes 51 hours to build built to last you know they've been building vans Mercedes for over 120
years people don't realize that I mean that that's incredible. So great history, great van and what
we'll do is we'll go around the back and I just want to show you the rear of the vehicle okay.
Okay folks, you know I love this three-pointed star symbol Mercedes-Benz 1500 Jupiter Red
Cargo Van 144 standard roof. So this has the optional step this vehicle does not have
the tow package but the vehicle can you can put that on. Also it is pre-wired which is every van
comes pre-wired and you could tow up to five thousand pounds. Another thing that's nice
about this you have a high definition camera and you can actually see probably on the perimeter
maybe good four feet out when you're backing up into when you're backing into a whatever you're
going into. So I’m gonna open this up 270 rear doors okay so we're gonna show you that which is
and this is an option also standard would be 180 which would come here but I try to order the
vans with all the doors that are 270. As you can see you have plenty of room to get in all right,
almost 59 inches in height 61 inches going across all right. uh, like I said, you still have your
four lock securing systems back here you have grab handles on the sides to help you get in which is
nice and step out nice little safety option. Your spare tire is underneath access for the spare tire
is just this little lip here and in the front there's that's where the spare tire
iron is and the jack and then you're just gonna put the wrench in here and just turn it and the
spare tire will load go down maybe we'll do a video about that later on in another video but
very cool. So we'll go into inside in the front show you the dash and we'll wrap it up. Okay we're
inside the 144 cargo van so there's a couple of things I want to show you briefly. This van I
equipped with the with the fabric seats okay and also what's great about this here in Arizona you
know it's pretty hot you know today is probably right now it's probably 9,500 degrees while we're
filming this but the seat comes with a thigh extension lumbar support. The rotary dial for the
for the rear will let you recline you also have arm rest also for the seating
also you have height adjustment for the seat. So infinite possibilities to adjust the seats
especially for a tall guy like me or someone that's shorter. Another thing that we're going
to go over here is this infotainment system. This has a seven inch screen with a backup camera
which is nice. It's also equipped with Apple Carplay / Android Auto which is nice. Another
thing is we have our climate control settings here which is digital display and then we also have
USB-C at the bottom and we have 12 volt outlets at the base here and also at the base of the seat.
Your Apple Carplay connect port is up on top here. Tons of cup holders two four there's another
two up on top on the right side two on the left side so you know what I’m talking about there's
plenty of options to store cup holders. Plenty of storage space on the bottom and also up at the top
above the visors and then up here at your lighting we have our emergency roadside SOS button. We have
our Mercedes Me Connect which will we'll show you a little video that will be coming on that also
which can monitor tire pressure also maintenance history, driver history etc. So excellent
and then at your steering wheel of course you have everything that can control at your nine o'clock
position here you control through voice through, the seven inch screen, through touch or you can
do it here on the right side of the steering wheel. So awesome vehicle awesome interior.
