Some car dealerships in the Sacramento area use these Sprinters for parts deliveries. Better overall than the full size pickups the other dealers use. |

Makes perfect sense.It carries more parts,(Get loaded,get whole morning's orders out,come back,load again,make the evening run.Those Rangers,Colorados etc have to go back & forth all the time.Small pickup better for "Hot Shots",though??)it hauls larger parts,(like a Long Block or a Trans,and especially the larger body parts like hoods)and it's enclosed. |

The Sprinter is narrower than a Econoline or a Express, but the roof is much higher to make up the difference. So loading tall panels like hoods or quarter panels into the back would not be a problem, compared to a traditional American full size van. |

I saw a Dodge Sprinter here in Germany other day, are they made in Germany and then shipped to USA? (It was on the back of a truck with no number plate) |

Dodge Sprinter, Mercedes Sprinter, and Freightliner Sprinter. What's the point of all 3 of those? |

Market saturation I guess. Daimler Benz owned Dodge until recently. Do they still own Freightliner? |

The point, I think, is that Mercedes-Benz only sells cars in the US, so it made sense to rebadge the Sprinter for DaimlerChrysler's US commercial vehicle marques. -- Last edit: 2008-03-17 13:05:06 |
