#25 of 1262 Sprinter Passenger Van for Home Use by wosman Apr 29, 2002 (1:47 pm)
I test drove a DCX/Freightliner Sprinter Passenger van last week and was suprised by its power and agility. It felt as strong as my current Caravan and turned almost as well. It was a 2500HC (140" WB, low-top roof, 10 seater) with about all the options you can get. It didn't seem tippy at all. This model was only 3" narrower than a full-size GMC, about as long as my Dakota Club cab, and about the same height as a hi-top GMC or Ford conversion. It felt VERY solid and you can't beat the headrests and 3-point belts at every seating position. Although the interior was not what I would call plush by any stretch, it was functional -cup holders for all the back seats and would hold up well with growing kids. Plus, even with 3 rows of rear seats, there is a HUGE amount of cargo room in the back. Since I have five kids and there is no more room left in my '96 Caravan, I am seriously considering this as a replacement. Has anyone else purchased or considered one for personal passenger use?
#26 of 1262 Pricing by hunterman May 05, 2002 (11:23 am)
I have been looking at buying a Sprinter but am concerned about a few things. First being the price. The only place I seem to be able to get any price info is from the dealer and frankly it seems high. The second thing is the fuel mileage, does it really get 22mpg and is that high way or city? Third is the options and configuration. When I went to my dealer he told me that the configuration I wanted was not available even though it is shown in the brochure. Can anyone shed some light on some of this for me?
#30 of 1262 Sample Sprinter Pricing by georgesr May 05, 2002 (7:40 pm)
I have posted a sample order form I received from the Freightliner dealer showing the option packages and what they cost. The total price shows all the Cargo packages available, which you would only order one Cargo Package I have not ordered my Sprinter yet, so cannot verify these prices. The Address Is: http://www.geocities.com/ghendren/

#32 of 1262 Freightliner Sprinter for towing? by georgesr May 08, 2002 (5:09 am)
At this time Bev and I have a 16 foot Scamp and are towing it with a 97 Safari AWD van. This combination has worked out for us except for the mpg (11). We do a lot of ice fishing with the van and the AWD is great. It seems that for pulling the Scamp, the Safari is more then we need and we could get better mileage if we had a different van. I have been considering the Sprinter as a tow vehicle because of it's 22 MPG. Has anyone considered the Freightliner Sprinter Van as a tow vehicle? http://www.sprintersavvy.com/home/index.html
#33 of 1262 Finally, a full size van with standard transmission by tdiphaeton May 20, 2002 (1:55 pm)
Ever since Volkswagen stopped selling the 5-cylinder Eurovan in the US, we have had NO vans with a manual tranny.   -----   Also, the article from Edmunds mentions that the Vito will replace the Ram van, not the Sprinter.
#34 of 1262 5 speed automatic only by mrnimmo May 20, 2002 (10:44 pm)
Right? At least on this side of the pond...
