My wife and I have a small business, and we are intrigued by the practical dimensions of the Dodge/Freightliner Sprinter, especially the 3500 series. However, the engine size seems small when compared to the competition. Its maximum towing capacity is about half that of the Chevy Express and the Ford Econoline. Has anyone out there actually used one fully loaded to capacity (9,900 Lbs. GVWR), and if so, how does it perform ?? Does the 3500 high roof 158 WB version always come equipped with dual rear wheels ?? Is there a larger fuel tank available ?? |

| UPS and FedEx uses them as delivery vehicles. They probably perform well at capacity. Overseas they are used as ambulances. | |
I am looking for accessories available for the mercedes sprinter van, which is sold by Freightliner. These vans are a dime a dozen in europe and James Cook makes a slick camper on this platform, so I would think there would be accessories available now in the USA which can be used on this van. I am looking for a shade for the front and side front windows plus a tent which would extend from the sliding door.

I got a FedEx delivery an hour ago and asked the driver how he liked driving the Sprinter. He rolled his eyes. When I told him he didn't seem too enthusiastic about it, he said he would rather be driving his old truck. Whatever that was. I was hoping that the people driving them for a living would be more enamored of them. Steve, Host |

There's been several posts elsewhere on Town Hall in recent days about the Sprinter, and my local dealer is advertising them all of a sudden. Is interest heating up? Steve, Host |

Namely for acceleration times: 0-60mph, 13.1 seconds "street start" 5-60mph, 14.3 seconds 1/4 mile 19.0secs at 70mph Top speed 90mph Roadholding 0.65g I thought only things with hooves pulled as little 0.65 g's ! The gas mileage is great for the size of the vehicle of course, but I'd be worried about being killed driving this thing. Of course if the kids borrowed it you wouldn't have to worry about them going out drag racing (heh, heh). And I guess you could round out your fleet by having a Honda Insight as your neck-snapping, "sports car". |
