Yes I do font see a reason why not.
Down hill I may turn it off by using the brake frequently.

This is the one time that I believe the more capable cruise is problematic. Down hill it will ride the brakes which is the wrong technique. Must admit, with a set of disks on the trailer, maybe it would just not be a problem at all.

Travel safe. Pat

I use it sometimes, but watch for overrevving and disengage if truck is working too hard.

The OP was asking about cruise control for his Sprinter. For towing a trailer, that's a different set of considerations!
