2003 Dodge Sprinter Review

Summary

What Edmunds.com says

The European-engineered Sprinter gives the full-size van buyer an unprecedented level of refinement, utility and value in a unique package. When it comes to serious towing and hauling, though, it can't keep up with V8-powered domestic vans.

Pros

Generous array of body configurations, class-leading cargo capacity, stellar fuel economy from turbodiesel engine.

Cons

Lacks high-speed punch, can't get a V8 for heavier towing and hauling, limited initial availability.

What's New for 2003

Dodge takes a major leap of faith by replacing the aging Ram Van with a European-styled commercial design engineered by Mercedes-Benz.
