One of the features of the Metris, that MB is pushing on the TV adds, is the ability to load 4'x8' material.
The only other small van that makes similar claims is the Dodge.
Looking at the Metris brochure I see that it lists 50" between the wheelhouse for the cargo van. But only 47.4" for the passenger van.
For me, the ability to pull out the seats and load up with 4'x8' sheet goods is a major selling point.
Can someone who owns a passenger version check to see if a 48" wide board will fit in the thing side to side between the wheel wells?
This could be a deal killer for someone looking to haul sheet goods once and a while.
Thanks for your help,
Jeff
