2008 Dodge Sprinter Cargo Van Review

The 2008 Dodge Sprinter Cargo Van can seat up to five passengers. This full-size van is available in three and four-door models. No matter which of the available trim packages you choose, you will be getting a vehicle with a standard 3.0 L, V6 (154 hp) engine. The five-speed automatic transmission is also a standard feature.

Who loves this model? Folks with stuff to haul. This includes individuals, and especially owners who pay others to drive it. The Sprinter's load-securing system can really put your mind at ease. Rails are bolted to the bottom of the cargo bed; in addition, lashing rails are installed to the sides of this compartment at approximately waist height. As a result, you don't need to worry about your load shifting while in transit, and your risk of accident is reduced. With an interior hold volume of up to 600 cubic feet, Sprinter Cargo Van offers a cavernous cargo area.

Standard features for the Sprinter include power steering and anti-lock brakes. You also get bucket seats, an AM/FM stereo and CD player, and keyless entry system. Passenger and driver air bags are standard on this model.

Here's another element that makes this vehicle popular with people who drive in heavy traffic or rough weather conditions. This model is equipped with an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) to help the operator keep control of the vehicle while in transit. The ESP is designed to detect when the Dodge Sprinter is either starting to plow or spin out of control. If either of these scenarios occur, the ESP springs into action and applies the brakes to the van's wheels. This system also automatically controls the throttle.

The 2008 Dodge Sprinter is available in some new colors: Aqua Green, Vanda Blue, Hibiscus Red and Velvet Red. Whichever color you choose, the front and rear bumpers will be a dark grey color. Choose from the Standard Roof, High Roof, or Mega Roof models. Three vehicle lengths are also available, ranging from 232.5 inches to 289.2 inches. Electronic sliding doors on the left or right side are available, along with a sliding left side door. (If you choose the sliding left side door, it won't have a window.)

Comfort options abound inside. The tilt/telescope steering column will allow the driver get comfortable when operating the vehicle. Front air conditioning is a standard feature, along with a shelf located above the windshield. Add an overhead console with two reading lamps, a skylight, or a front overhead storage bin; all of these are optional features.

The MSRP for the 2008 Dodge Sprinter Cargo Van starts at $35,135. For this price you get a vehicle that is surprisingly fuel-efficient. When it is empty, you will get an average of 21 mpg and 19.5 mpg when carrying a payload of 1500 lbs. When you choose this vehicle for your company, you and your staff will spend less time at the gas station and more time taking care of business.
