I called my mother (who was not surprised), secured the new Mercedes-Benz Metris Weekender camper van we had on hand, and started looking for the nearest place where I could count on warm, sunny weather in late November. Ahead of Thanksgiving, I spent weeks waffling over whether to attend the multifamily dinner that was in the works before deciding to err on the side of caution, coronavirus-wise. Last year presented plenty of opportunities for well-considered bailing. I've never been on the kind of adventure that could end with my dead body getting its own Wikipedia page, but I've tried to absorb the message. You know Green Boots, the man whose frozen corpse is a landmark on the northeast route to the summit of Mount Everest? That's about the worst possible outcome when you make the wrong decision. It's the idea that if you've spent a lot of time, money, or energy trying to accomplish a goal, you'll be inclined to keep at it even if quitting is the wiser move.
Mercedes' MasterUpfitter program allows buyers to further customize Metris Cargo vans to their business needs.If you're going to have an adventure, you'll want to be familiar with sunk-cost bias.
Many of the options listed above are offered as stand-alone choices, as are a trailer hitch, rear privacy glass, chrome interior trim and a backup alarm.

Notable combinations include the Cold Weather package (heated front seats, a heated windshield washer system and an upgraded heater), the Premium Safety with Parktronic package (Utility package plus lane departure warning, forward collision warning, parking sensors and automated parallel parking), and the Driver Comfort package (a comfort-tuned suspension and upgraded seats with lumbar support). Options are broken apart into more cost-effective packages in the Cargo and Passenger models, allowing buyers to mix and match the features they want. On the Worker Passenger, there's also the Appearance package (Convenience package plus alloy wheels, body-colored bumpers, roof rails, a rear liftgate instead of the swing-out cargo doors, a heated rear window, and simulated leather upholstery) and Comfort package (all contents of the Utility and Appearance packages plus power-sliding rear doors). You can get the Convenience package (automatic wipers, heated mirrors, a rearview camera, cruise control, the color display, and LED cargo area lighting) and the Utility package (Convenience package plus roof rails, a rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, a driver information display, a heated rear window, blind-spot monitoring, rails on the cargo floor and sides, and tie-downs). The list of available option packages for Worker Cargo is relatively short. All others get 180-degree rear cargo doors.
Farther back, you'll find 270-degree swing-out rear cargo doors standard on the Metris Cargo. Passenger and Worker Passenger models also get a rearview mirror, rear air conditioning and a nine-speaker audio system. A 5.8-inch color screen is included on standard models and optional on Worker models, which otherwise come with a simple monochrome display. Some additional standard features depend on which Metris you buy. Standard features include 17-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, remote locking and unlocking, air conditioning, wheel-mounted shift paddles, Bluetooth, and a five-speaker audio system with a USB port. Powering the Metris is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (208 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque) that drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission.
