You got me hype about my 2022 Metris coming in. I can’t wait man! Home inspector by day and a MTB Weekend Warrior. Two years later, so glad I came across this video.
I have a 2017 that I put 304,000 miles in 2.5 years. My advice is to sell by 200k. Since 250k miles I have put in 15k maintenance and repairs. Still more coming. Here’s a list by most expensive . 1. Turbocharger $4,000 2. Exhaust airflow repair $2000 3 Alternator $1500 4. Boost hoses transmission service $1200 5. Brakes $1200 6. Four Tires $1000 7. Plugs/coils $1000 8 Injector replacement ordered.
@@k0edby22 315500 and now cylinder 2 is misfiring under heavy load. After replacing plugs, coils and oil pump. $1200 for four new Goodyear tires. 1500 for new shocks and struts. Driver door latch is going.
@@speedyfinalmile damn! Question… I have a 2005 GMC Safari RWD and needs $6k to be like new again: Transmission $1500 Rear diff $1200 Mechanical repairs as recommended by mechanic(brakes, sway bar and other miscellaneous things) $3000 So that’s $5700 cash that I would need to put down to have a like new vehicle again. Should I just bite the bullet and make repairs or get a new cargo vehicle ? (Metris, connect, pro city etc) Sorry for the massive info; don’t really know who to ask. Edit: I’m in the mobile detailing business so I travel for work
@@k0edby22 Get a used Odessey or Seianna and tear out the seats for 5k. Then wait out the crazy prices before buying a new van. Get rid of the gas guzzling junk GMC.

The passenger version was sold here in Brazil with this 2 liter turbo engine but with six speed manual transmission. Is was the cheaper manual rwd car here. It was sweet! But didn't sold well, Fiat and Renault had bigger vans for the same price. The cargo version was fwd and had a Renault 1.6 turbodiesel engine
These are our pickup trucks in Europe. Perfect cargo vehicles for tighter cities... Torquey, easy to park and not too wide. Plus no speed limit on the Autobahn unlike semi trucks.
The Hooniverse I have seen 108mph in one, but that was some time ago. I doubt theyd go much faster anyway, not that youd want to haha. At least you wont have to go 50mph. Just remembered that might have been a VW.
@@gerry2893 I would sell it soon. Values are up. See my post I have 304,000 on a 2017 Metris and it’s costing a new van price to replace everything . I use it as a daily expedited delivery vehicle.
@@speedyfinalmile Wow..! 304K..! I have 90K as of this post and so far so good. I also sub'd to your channel which is very informative. I will take your advice and may look into selling through this year. My Metris has been a true money making champ but I admit the eventual maintenance scares me as it gets older. I expedite as well but with heavier equipment. I would love to see Honda or Toyota come out with cargo vans as maintenance would be at a minimum. Overseas Toyota has the Pro Ace which would be perfect for what we do, FYI, they do not have plans to bring it to the US which is disappointing. I do like the larger Nissan NV cargo van but honestly...its' ugly as sin...!
@@gerry2893 Yes I did have some expensive repairs before 150k. Mainly a Alternator and for some reason tensioner pulleys seize up a few times. Once under Warranty and twice not covered. Factor in Maintenance which is equal to repairs on most vehicles and it adds up.
I have owned a metris since 2016 and i only get 25,000 miles on a set of tires and corporate says that's typical. Many people i have talked to have told me they also have tire issues.
Yeah, where do you cut corners to meet a certain price point? Tires! All manufacturers do this! I’ve heard some folks get 12-15k out of stock tires! I forget the brand. But think along the lines of heavier economic suvs/crossovers. It’s nothing new mate. And nothing personal. Think of it as an opportunity to get some bitching tires! I kinda see it as a good thing since tires are the most important equipment on a vehicle period.
They are from a company called Knockaround - super affordable and you can actually design your own colors and stuff. Pretty cool. I think these specific models are the Fast Lanes...
Of all the compact cargo vans the metris definitely looks the coolest. The nv200 can look alright the ford looks ok also the ram is just ugly. Imo. I wish the Ford transit and nv200 had all wheel drive. Have not really looked at the Toyota.
Nope, selling sunglasses, hats, lighters and other popular novelties to convenience stores and Travel Centers making a multi 6 figure a year income with zero employees. Now that's how you use the cargo van👍
@@jmm1817 good for you, JM. Hope you're still doing that. I had a chip route for a big corp. many years ago. Got a kick out of setting up new accounts at full commissions and laughed at supermarket guys who made half as much bcuz they had no ambition.

These have a fuel cutoff at 101 mph... or so I’ve been told

I have a 2016 Metris and I love it
Have a 2018 Cargo for my business and I love mine too...! Approaching 80K tough max payload (2,500 LBs.) miles and running like new.

I have a 2016 metris cargo and I absolutely love it. You don't drive this van, it drives you.
Is the 2016 metros reliable? Compared to other brands?
I don't understand why they can't make one with front or all wheel drive.
My 2017 metris has crosswind assist.

My tires didn't last either
@@spydersniiper well I don't know about that.. Ive been driving Chevy Express Vans for 20 years and I get 50 to 60 on my michelins
I put the top of the line tires on my cargo vans, have you tried that?
@@spydersniiper you might wanna try LT rated tires. It's a heavy vehicle.
is this the 136 inch long wheel base...or the standard 'shorter' wheelbase??
I love my Metris!
Great vid!
What about warranty and can you get extended warranties on uh everything
Cool Van and Cool Guy . .. ..
6:24 haha!
You beat Micah Muzio to a windowless white van review.
What’s the brand and style of the sunglasses?
They are from a company called Knockaround - super affordable and you can actually design your own colors and stuff. Pretty cool. I think these specific models are the Fast Lanes...
Yeah got to trick this one out.
It's the only way 😎

music is annoying but thanks for the review
Awww, earth to Jeff, wind assist is standard on a Metris.
Are cargo vans cool? That depends. Are you giving out candy to total strangers in the back? Then yes. Obviously.

@@jmm1817 wish we met in person. Anyway, best regards and stay safe!
Everyone should see other RUclipsrs videos about Metris how problematic and cost it is to repair.
"There’s a lot of room back there for activities". My mind instantly went to this scene: ruclips.net/video/ulwUkaKjgY0/видео.html
Would you please stop curling your hair Jeff. It is soooo annoying.
Lol
