Anyone have any hookups on the Dodge Sprinter cargo vans? I need to buy at least two. I usually buy the Workhorse Chassis stepvans, the price of one (gas) is almost $50k. I'm going to give the Sprinter a shot, the diesel will have longevity and greater mileage. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It is basically a Mercedes 5 cyl turbo diesel. Even motorhome chasis builders are using them.

I hear a lot of good things about them. From what I hear the Sprinter get appx. 20 mpg. By the time you add the interiors and euipment to the Workhorse, you are looking at $90k+ per unit.

The sprinter is the only model on the dodge lot where the factory literature details the mileage it's so good. When I was selling, most customers reported 25 to just over 30 mpg which jives with the factory numbers. If you have sprinter vans in any work configuration that are anywhere near 90k + you fokes out west are getting royally raked... Maybe the 90k+ is for major conversions or something. Should be anywhere from about 29k for a short wheel base low top cargo to 40- 50k for a decent passenger wagon with rear AC. Least ways thats what the stickers are over here. Aside from all dealership Added Features "markups" ;)

No, I'm sorry you misunderstood me. The Workhorse Stepvans that I usually buy with the gas engine are now hovering around $50K. I have 8 of them. At Lax, it doesn't really matter if they are gas because you don't drive too far. Now, I'm expanding to different locations and the diesel engine would be a plus. I have seen the diesel Workhorse Stepvans for $5k to $8K premium over the gas. That is why I am looking into the Sprinter. $30K to outfit an interior for an aircraft maintenance van is modest.

I see.
I think you will feel good about your decision to look into the sprinter Formula Dude. What is the work horse step van? Box van..? Isn't ringing a bell? I'm going to have my Mom off load her current work van and jump into the sprinter soon for her retail business. I'm pretty confident about them. that little 2.7 T diesel B bopps around pretty well with the 5 spd auto.

I've attached a website that has a picture and specs on what the Workhorse stepvans look like.
