Lightweight composite construction means this 50-inch-wide by 17.4-foot-long pickup body with container boxes on the side weighs just 1250 pounds, leaving 4500 pounds for payload. Motivation was provided by one of two four-cylinders: a 1.8-liter, 43-hp diesel or a 1.9-liter 65-hp gas-burner, and yet payload ranged from 3550 to 4250 pounds. Postwar delivery van production didn't resume at Mercedes-Benz until 1956, when the simple, no-frills L319 arrived, sporting an incredibly short, blunt nose, a leaf-sprung rigid-axle chassis, and body configurations that included cargo vans with two roof heights, a minibus, chassis cabs, and pickup trucks with one or two rows of seats. By late 1961, a 2.0-liter 50-hp diesel relieved the 1.8, at which time production was consolidated in Duesseldorf, where Sprinters are made today. I've spent a lot of time over the past couple years with vans such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4x4 and Ram Promaster, so with when I had to move across town I got my hands on the updated 2017 Nissan NV 3500 High Roof SL V8 to see how the lone Japanese commercial van in the U.S.
For example, the Ford Transit made the same sprint in a mere 6.8 seconds, and the Nissan NV took 7.5 seconds to complete the run. In our track tests, the Ram ProMaster made it from zero to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds. Pricing of the 2014 model has yet to be announced, but we expect the added feature content to offset the four-cylinder's potential price drop, leaving base prices virtually unchanged from the current $36,165 (chassis cab), $37,285 (cargo van), and $41,315 (passenger van) -- that's already a premium over the front-drive Ram ProMaster ($27,525/$29,625/-), and it's likely to fall directly in line with Ford Transit pricing. While you can鈥檛 get a 3500 passenger vehicle, you can get a chassis cab, which will be ideal for creative outfitters who want to turn the vehicle into a swanky RV, an off-roading research vehicle, a mobile dental clinic, a food truck or more. We'll let you know how sprightly that I-4 feels as soon as we get a chance to drive it, but we suspect bigger-is-better American customers will spring for the now optional V-6 when ordering 3500-series Sprinters.
The second battery option allows customers to set other priorities in the usage parameters. Other fuel-efficiency optimizing efforts include a smart-charging alternator that ramps up battery recharging during deceleration and braking; electro-hydraulic steering assist, a fuel pump that tailors its output to demand, and a freewheeling A/C compressor that produces little or no drag except when needed. They just throw parts at the problem and send you on your merry way, only to have the sameIn my case it has been fixed (along with some other strange issues) by installing new main battery. Several Sprinter owners have complained about this limping and slowing down problem, but Mercedes-Benz never issued a recall to address this problem.

This engine is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission and offers 18% better fuel economy than previous offerings, according to Mathias Geisen, general manager of product marketing, commercial vans, Mercedes-Benz USA. With output rated at 161 hp and 265 lb-ft (the latter from 1400-2400 rpm) and the added leverage of a (world van exclusive) seven-speed automatic transmission and new 3.69:1 axle ratio, this BlueTEC four-cylinder is the standard engine in all Sprinters -- even the 11,030-pound GVWR models. Passenger and crew cab window-van models are imported directly from Duesseldorf, all other North-America-bound Sprinters are built there, partially disassembled, shipped to Charleston, South Carolina, and reassembled to avoid the 25-percent chicken tax. The Sprinter passenger van starts in the low $40K range and a version with all the options can top $60K, like my tester did.
