Mercedes-Benz is renowned for producing top-notch luxury vehicles. However, it also has a diverse lineup of commercial vans. One of the most adaptable cargo vans in the market is the Sprinter Van, which has earned its reputation over time.
Sprinter Vans come in an expansive variety of sizes, and you have many upfitting options to customize yours to suit your needs. For example, you can choose a Sprinter Van with a long wheelbase and high roof and add shelving for the perfect delivery vehicle. Or you can choose a model fitted for transporting up to 14 passengers.
The possibilities help small business owners become more efficient and productive, and fleet operators can take advantage of Mercedes-Benz’s many connected services features. You can also find options suited for personal use. Let’s look at how a Sprinter Van can help you.
Sprinter Vans come in four basic models: Cargo Van, Crew Van, Passenger Van, and Cab Chassis. You have options within each model that let you customize its features.
The Sprinter Cargo Van has two front bucket seats with a walk-through to the cargo hold, making it perfect for upfitting. For instance, you can add shelves for delivery purposes or construct workspaces and cabinets for plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians. Cargo Vans don’t have windows, which helps keep passersby from seeing tools and cargo and helps with upfitting.
A Sprinter Crew Van is an excellent option for businesses needing to transport their crew, tools, and equipment and families looking for extra space. With room for up to five passengers and plenty of cargo capacity, the Crew Van can easily hold work gear or camping equipment for family trips. The side windows allow passengers to enjoy the view while on the road.
Depending on your wheelbase, a Sprinter Passenger Van can seat up to 15 people, making it ideal for shuttle service. It also features side windows and plenty of cargo space for luggage if your shuttle runs to the airport.
The Sprinter Cab Chassis offers the most customization. You can upfit everything from refrigerator boxes for delivering food and other perishables to small lift buckets for tree work and other high, hard-to-reach places your job takes you.
A Sprinter Van is perfect if you need a van to haul cargo, stow gear, transport people, and are ready for anything. Here’s a look at some of the most popular Sprinter Van configurations.
The Sprinter 2500 Cargo Van has a 144-inch and 170-inch wheelbase and two engine options. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine is standard and produces 170 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. You can also choose the 2.0-liter four-cylinder high-output diesel engine, which makes 211 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque.
A capable rear-drive platform delivers efficient power. However, if you need more traction and control due to local weather or delivery routes, add all-wheel drive (AWD).
Every Sprinter 2500 Cargo Van has a 5,000-pound towing capacity and a 13,930-pound gross combined vehicle weight rating, which is the maximum combined weight of the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and trailer. You also have an extended version of the 170-inch wheelbase that adds length to the cargo area.
Like the Cargo Van, the Sprinter 2500 Passenger Van offers 144-inch and 170-inch wheelbases, two engine options, and a high roof. Unlike the Cargo Van, the Passenger Van has windows and seating for 14 passengers plus the driver. In addition, the Passenger Van has up to 117 cubic feet of cargo space in the 170-inch wheelbase with the high roof model.
Opting for the Sprinter 3500 Cargo Van gives you all the flexibility in the 2500 series but more payload capacity thanks to a stronger chassis. Standard 3500 series Sprinter Vans can haul up to 4,148 pounds, while the 3500XD models top out at an impressive 5,739 pounds.
You have the same engine options, with AWD available on the high-output model. Mercedes-Benz also makes the 3500 series Sprinter Van in 144—and 170-inch wheelbases with extended and high roof options.
If you frequently haul heavy items, the Sprinter 4500 Cargo Van provides the most payload. Depending on the configuration, the high-strength framework on the 4500 series Sprinter Van allows you to transport up to 6,812 pounds.
You still get the customizable options for wheelbase, engines, and roof height, plus the ability to upfit to meet your needs.
Choosing a Sprinter Van offers many benefits, starting with the high-quality construction you expect from Mercedes-Benz. The upfitting possibilities let you customize your Sprinter Van to suit your needs. We have standard upfits for plumbers, electricians, and HVAC professionals.
