Mercedes Sprinter 170 WB Van Floor: Our 5 Top Recommendations
A Mercedes Sprinter 170 WB van floor has more ground to cover than almost anything else on the road. The 170-inch wheelbase gives you one of the longest cargo areas in the class, and all of it is bare painted steel the day you take delivery.
Think about what crosses that steel in a week. Hand trucks rolling front to back. Stock and pipe dragged in over the rear sill. A dropped driver or a slipped fitting landing hard enough to leave a dimple you'll see every time you load. None of it is dramatic on its own. Six months in, the coating is chipped in a dozen places, and bare steel under a van is where corrosion starts quietly and finishes expensively.
The other cost is footing. A Sprinter sits high — higher than a ProMaster, higher than most Transits — so you're already committing to a step up. Add a wet floor from rain off a ladder or snow off your boots and that painted surface turns slick right at the moment you're reaching in with your hands full. It's the kind of fall that ends a week, and it's the reason every option on this page has a textured or anti-slip top surface.
The good news: there are really only four kinds of floor to choose between. Rigid panels carry structural load. Heavy rubber mats give you durability and grip without the install. Cushioned mats add foam underneath to soak up impact. Carpet-style mats trade toughness for quiet and a softer surface. Pick the category first and the product almost picks itself.
Here are the five we recommend most often.

Our 5 top Mercedes Sprinter 170 WB van floor recommendations
1. Legend StabiliGrip Rigid Floor
A structural floor rather than a covering. The composite panel carries load across its whole surface, which is what separates it from everything else on this page.
Features
- Composite rigid panel with fiber-mesh inlay
- Extreme anti-slip surface
- Cut for the Sprinter 170 Regular, single or dual rear wheel
- Edge trim options: aluminum, or steel in black or yellow
- 32 configurations across the Sprinter range
Benefits
- Built for rolling loads. On a 170 you're moving things the length of the van, and a rigid deck is what makes a hand truck practical end to end
- Spreads point loads instead of letting a compressor foot or a dropped fitting press into the sheet metal
- Keeps its grip wet, which matters more on a high step-in van than people credit
- Gives your build a base. Shelving, racks and partitions anchor into something solid
- Holds value. Sprinters hold their money well, and a clean floor is part of that at trade-in
This is the premium Mercedes Sprinter 170 WB van floor in the lineup, and the one we point at when the van earns its keep every day.

Before you order: select the 170-in Regular wheelbase, confirm single or dual rear wheels, and choose your trim. Single vs dual rear wheel is the most common ordering mistake on this SKU.
2. Legend AutoMat-Bar Rubber Floor Mat
The heavyweight of the mat category. Thicker rubber, aggressive surface, no install project.
Features
- 1/4-inch thick virgin rubber compound
- Checker-plate bar top surface
- Ultra non-slip and hardwearing
- Optional aluminum door sill upgrade
- Available for 144-in and 170-in, single and dual rear wheel
Benefits
- Stands up to dragging. A quarter inch of rubber takes the abuse of stock sliding in and out far better than a thin economy sheet
- The bar pattern bites, particularly with wet or muddy boots
- Virgin rubber rather than recycled, so it resists tearing at the edges where mats usually fail first
- Lays in and stays put. No fasteners, no adhesive, no fabrication
- Add the aluminum sill and you protect the threshold too — the spot that takes every toolbox you drag across it

3. Husky Liners Guardian Impact Cargo Mat
Same idea as a rubber mat with one addition that changes how it behaves: a foam layer bonded underneath.
Features
- Custom foam backing beneath a rugged rubber work surface
- Cut specifically for the Sprinter 170-in Regular
- One-piece fit
- Textured top surface
Benefits
- Absorbs the hit. A tool that lands on foam-backed rubber doesn't transmit the same force into the panel underneath
- Easier on what you carry, not just on the van — useful if you're hauling anything with a finish
- Quieter and warmer underfoot than rubber laid straight onto steel
- Light. A fraction of the weight of a rigid floor, which keeps your payload for cargo
- Costs a fraction of a structural floor while still doing real protective work

Buying tip: Guardian Impact and BedRug VanTred are the same mat
If you've been weighing these two against each other, you're comparing one product to itself.
Husky Liners and BedRug are both RealTruck brands, and the Guardian Impact is the Husky-badged VanTred. The part numbers give it away: the Sprinter 170 VanTred is
BED-VTMS06Land the Guardian Impact isHSL-HVTMS06L— identical code with an H on the front.Buy whichever is cheaper and in stock. The same applies to the carpet versions below: BedRug VanRug and Husky Guardian Comfort are one product under two labels.
4. Husky Liners Guardian Comfort Cargo Mat
The option most people don't know exists. Instead of a rubber top surface you get polypropylene carpet over the same foam backing.
Features
- 100% polypropylene carpet surface over custom foam backing
- Cut for the Sprinter 170-in Regular
- One-piece fit
- Ultra-tough construction — carpet look, plastic durability
Benefits
- Much quieter. Carpet kills the drumming you get from an empty steel box on the highway
- Gentle on cargo. If you carry cabinetry, glass, appliances or anything with a finish, this is the surface that won't scuff it
- Polypropylene isn't fabric. It won't hold water or rot the way carpet would — it's effectively plastic
- Warmer to kneel on when you're working in the back in winter
Where it falls short: carpet is the wrong call if you're dragging steel stock or working in mud daily. Choose it for clean cargo and quiet, not for abuse.

5. Upfit Select VanMat — Our Own Economy Option
Sometimes the right answer is the cheapest one, and we'd rather say so than talk you into a floor you don't need.
Plenty of Sprinter owners just want the steel covered before it starts collecting dents. That's what we built the VanMat for.
Features
- Virgin rubber compound with a checker-plate surface
- Approximately 3/16-inch thick
- One lightweight piece — no seams across a long cargo area
- Custom cut for the Sprinter 170-in Regular
- Moisture resistant, chemical resistant, tear resistant
Benefits
- Stops the damage starting. Bare steel is fine the week you collect the van and nowhere near fine a year later
- In and done in five minutes. Carry it in, line it up, roll it out. No tools, no installer, no appointment
- Real footing on a van where the step-in height already asks something of you
- Shrugs off the mess — wet boots, spilled solvent, job-site grit
- Negligible weight, so your payload stays where you want it
- Cut to your van, not a roll you have to measure and trim
It's the most affordable Mercedes Sprinter 170 WB van floor we sell. If your work genuinely calls for more — rolling equipment, heavy point loads, anchoring shelving — buy one of the options above instead. We'd rather point you up the range than sell you the wrong thing.

How to choose your Mercedes Sprinter 170 WB van floor
Go rigid (StabiliGrip) if:
- Hand trucks, dollies or wheeled equipment go in and out
- You set down heavy point loads
- Shelving or racks need to anchor to the floor
- You're keeping the van long term
- Winter footing is a safety issue you've already thought about
Go heavy rubber (AutoMat-Bar) if:
- You want durability and grip without an install
- Stock gets dragged across the floor regularly
Go cushioned (Guardian Impact) if:
- Dropped tools are your main concern
- You'd rather not bounce cargo on a hard surface
Go carpet (Guardian Comfort) if:
- Noise bothers you on long drives
- You carry finished goods that scuff easily
Go economy (VanMat) if:
- Covering the metal and improving footing is the whole job
- Budget or payload decides it
- You want it in today
Before you order
Confirm your wheelbase. The Sprinter comes in 144-in, 170-in Regular and 170-in Extended. Every Mercedes Sprinter 170 WB van floor is cut to length, so a 170 Extended part will not fit a 170 Regular. Your door jamb sticker settles it.
Single or dual rear wheels? This changes the wheel well cutouts on rigid flooring.
Unsure? Send us a photo of the door jamb sticker and we'll confirm it before you order. A minute now saves a return later.
Floor goes in before shelving. It's step 1 in the Build Order for a reason — retrofitting a floor under installed shelving means taking the shelving out first.
FAQ
What's the best floor for a Mercedes Sprinter 170 WB?
It depends on the work. We recommend the Legend StabiliGrip rigid floor for heavy daily use and rolling loads. If covering bare metal and improving footing is all you need, the Upfit Select VanMat does that job for a fraction of the cost.
Is the Guardian Impact the same as the BedRug VanTred?
Yes. Two RealTruck brand names, one mat — part numbers HSL-HVTMS06L and BED-VTMS06L, identical specs. Buy whichever is cheaper and in stock.
Rubber or carpet in a Sprinter?
Rubber if you drag stock, work in mud, or want maximum durability. Carpet if you haul finished goods and want a quieter van. The Guardian Comfort uses polypropylene, so it won't rot or hold water like real carpet.
Will a 144-inch floor fit a 170-inch Sprinter?
No. Floors and mats are cut to wheelbase. Check yours before ordering.
Does the Sprinter's higher step-in height matter for flooring?
It raises the stakes on footing. You're stepping up further and often with your hands full, so an anti-slip surface is worth more here than on a low-floor van.
Do I need to glue or bolt the floor down?
Mats lay in loose. Rigid flooring is a bigger job but still within reach with hand tools.
What's the cheapest option?
The Upfit Select VanMat at $219.99 for the 170-in Regular. One piece, cut to your van, in without tools.
