Believe it or not, this is one of the coolest vehicles to ever roll through World of Wheels central command. Not because its sporty, but because it's so damn unique. This van is sold in Europe and elsewhere by Mercedes-Benz, who engineered the thing. For duty in North America it wears Dodge badging, and is manufactured in the U.S. Since coming on the scene here in 2003, it has established a reputation as an efficient, well-designed package or people hauler, with best-in-class cargo capacity and the widest rear-door opening. Sprinter can be configured in a wide range of models, including one with a wheelbase of 19 feet, the largest vehicle you can drive with a regular license. Note the standard Mercedes turbo diesel powertrain, which is capable of 243 lb-ft of torque.
