We now have three Dodge Sprinter Dealers in the area and one Freightliner dealer that offers the Sprinter.

I have test drove twice, a real early 2003 10-passenger model. It had a towing option on it too. Max towing was 4,500lbs. That just hits the limit of my travel trailer.

So, are there any other people here with the Sprinter B2500? Are you hauling cargo, people or even towing?

Dont own one but see alot of them. they seem to be holding up. most mileage ive seen is over 300,000 miles. they are all fleet vehicles too though. those merc diesels are tuff. these companies are putting them through hell, seen glass companies to delivery comp. actually seen one party bus with a flat screen made into the outside wall. very cool.

 

I've seen the Sprinter as a FedEx truck, UPS truck, Direct-TV truck, Hotel transport bus (many here in Niagara Falls), NOCO gas company truck, and only a few that people bought for personal family use. Also, the RV market is embraceing this vehicle like a storm since the mileage and power of the engine is very respectable. There are many Class-C RV's now based on the Sprinter too.

Currently, the price of these vehicles are about 10k higher than what I would like to buy as new.

There is now an option in the 10-passenger version to upgrade those very stiff bench high back seats. I would never travel any great distances sitting in them.

 

my 2002 UK spec 316cdi has just clocked 600,000 miles.The new model is due here on the 18th of may with a V6 cdi(184bhp) option.more info on mercedes-benz.co.uk.
The sprinter has been with us in one guise or another since 1995,they are pricey but you get a good resale value on them,as most of the companys over here lease their vehicles,this means the hire costs are very competetive.I personally imported mine from holland,UK spec right hand drive with air-con and saved myself £3000.
