I am sure there is a crane option in the catalog. MAN makes good trucks, but I love the UNIMOG by Mercedes, those things are beasts!

I read an article on the first one of those trucks.  It was a garbage truck converted!

It needs a STRIPPER POLE, a DISCO BALL, a BIG SCREEN and a bartender to make it complete!

This would be my perfect van. Sprinter 4x4 shorter body length/low roof model. I'd get the interior in stock form to configure anyway I want. Thule racks up top with 2 sets of Hullavators for 2 yaks. Room enough inside for all your fishing gear, bed, supplies, etc etc. Plus the 4x4 capabilities to get you where you want to go. The MAJOR PLUS IS 25MPG on the 5cyl diesel.

I use to drive a Fullsize Sprinter in '06 as my company vehicle and it averaged 600+ miles per tank on a 30 gallon tank.

My goal for 2010 to get one if available if made available in the US. *fingers crossed*

There is a lot of resemblance to the original 21 window rags.

Yep! Pretty cool.  :smt007
The really early ones had 23 windows (rear corners).
