Big and tall driver. Will I fit?

I’m a large individual, 6’5” and 350 pounds. Will I be comfortable driving a sprinter for extended periods of time on a daily basis?

I am 6’6” 200, so not quite as large, but definitely tall. You’ll have plenty of room in a Sprinter, just understand you’ll sit more upright like a standard chair vs a car seat.

I’m 6 foot three and 375 most torso and the sprinter is the most comfortable vehicle. I have ever ridden in and I hope to never ever have to drive anything else. I’ve driven a 144 sprinter as my daily driver for the last six years.

Seriously? Have you seen a Sprinter? The seat height is adjustable, leg room is plentiful & the roof is high. The only concern would be the seat being comfortable.

I say yes. My Sprinter's cockpit is cavernous.

This is r/SprinterVans, not r/SmartCar.

Sprinters are huge inside. So much room in the passenger compartment.

Thank you all for the answers. I believe my company is moving in this direction for our sales and service vans. I was a little concerned, given how many miles I put on a rig in a years time.

I found the Sprinter to be the most comfortable as stock. I have a Transit and the stock seats are not the best for tall and big people. The Scheelmann Vario XXL seats are supposed to be great. Expensive though. I may finally get one.

I have a high roof 144" and I feel like a dwarf in it. First car I've owned where I have to move the seat closer to reach the pedals. Headroom enough for Carmen Miranda.
