Dodge Introduces All-New 2007 Sprinter

Dodge continues to build on its presence in the commercial vehicle market with the all-new, super-sized Sprinter. Compared to the previous model, the all-new 2007 Dodge Sprinter features increased width (two inches), interior height (11 inches), exterior height (13 inches), cargo area length (19 inches), vehicle length (30 inches), cargo volume (127 cu. ft.), and towing capacity (2,500 lbs.).

Sprinter is available in three vehicle lengths (233, 273, and 289 inches) on two new wheelbases of 144 inches or 170 inches or 170 inches extended with a 15-inch longer rear overhang. It also includes three interior roof height options: standard (65 inches), high (76 inches), and new mega (84 inches).

Powered by a choice of two all-new premium engines, a 3.0L V-6 diesel engine with 154 horsepower or 3.5L V-6 gas engine with 254 horsepower, three different Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) configurations are offered, including a new higher maximum GVWR up to 11,030 lbs. for cargo vans and chassis cabs. With increased best-in-class interior height (up to 84 inches), both cargo and passenger high-roof models provide up to 7-feet interior work space.

New standard features include power windows and locks, integrated wide-angle mirrors, halogen headlamps, 16-inch wheels, tilt- and height-adjustable steering wheel, CD radio, one-touch triple-flash function turn signals, and all-new ADAPTIVE ESP for improved functionality and safety capability. Going beyond the capability of the traditional electronic stability program, ADAPTIVE ESP takes into account the way the Sprinter is loaded. Sensors ascertain the vehicle mass, which ultimately determines the vehicle’s center of gravity.

All 2007 Dodge Sprinter cargo vans utilize a CARGO PROTECTION load-securing and lashing rail system, allowing straps to be attached at multiple locations for enhanced cargo and passenger protection.

The introduction took place at the Canadian International Auto Show. Production of the all-new 2007 Dodge Sprinter takes place in Dusseldorf and Ludwigsfelde, Germany, with final assembly (cargo vans) in Ladson, S.C.
