#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.

I should be more considerate. Looks nicer in red too. LOL.   Question for yu.....why is it that my link at the 15 passenger vans forum worked yesterday (Roadtreck link shows a GMC van at 30mph crashing into a wall), yet it doesn't in this forum? Everything was done the same way. I don't get it! This computer has a mind of it's own.

Your 15 passenger van message included the "http://" part of the link - that's the only difference I see. Steve, Host
#40 of 1262 The Dodges are here!! by mrnimmo Mar 22, 2003 (7:28 pm)
Man, I really want one of these. Short wheelbase and low roof of course. The webpage focuses on the cargo versions, especially the big longer Fedex style van. I wonder why they don't attempt to market and compete with Ford and Generic Motors in the fullsize passenger market.
#41 of 1262 The Dodges are here! by mrnimmo Mar 22, 2003 (7:44 pm)
Edmunds lists the Dodge version, as does the Dodge website, http://www.dodge.com/sprinter/index.html?context=homepage&typ- - e=top .   Not the prettiest van, but really, IMHO, none of the current vans or minivans are attractive. It is kinda growing on me. But I REALLY, REALLY dig that small diesel. Finally, a diesel in a passenger vehicle bigger than a jetta and that isn't aimed at the 6000-lb-horse-trailer-towing-crowd. Too bad it doesn't have a manual tranny also. Any idea of the MPG on one of these?
