DODGE SPRINTER CARGO VAN. BY ANY STANDARD, IT ALWAYS MEASURES UP — AND IT'S

ALWAYS BETTER. Today, Dodge Sprinter is the van of choice for businesses ranging from

massive international delivery services to your neighborhood serviceman. Why? It simply

betters the competition to the point of being the best. No other commercial van matches

Dodge Sprinter for standard features, best-in-class* advantages, available options, ease

of use, or comfort. Best-in-class* features range from cargo capacity to available payload

capability to interior compartment height — making Dodge Sprinter arguably the ideal

business partner. The closer you look, the more you see — and it's the most you'll get:

superb performance, exceptional versatility, outstanding technology. The '08 Dodge

Sprinter Cargo Van is nothing short of incredible. For more, visit dodge.com/sprinter

1 THREE ROOF HEIGHTS RAISE THE BAR Shown here is the available Mega Roof on a 170- inch

wheelbase Extended 3500 Cargo Van — a conﬁ guration that offers 7 feet of interior standing

height, and 600 cubic feet of usable area (for cargo, or as an active work space).

2 CALL IT VERTICAL INTEGRATION The design of Dodge Sprinter is aerodynamic, pragmatic — and

efﬁ cient. Side walls are nearly vertical, allowing for outstanding practicality when designing a

mobile work station. In Passenger Van, the walls translate into greater shoulder area (and comfort)

for passengers.

helps keep virtually everything about your Dodge Sprinter on an

even keel — cargo, passengers, and the vehicle itself. It's one of the ﬁ nest and most reﬁ ned

systems of its kind — and it comes standard on every Dodge Sprinter model. Adaptive ESP on

Dodge Sprinter incorporates a wealth of safety and security features: Load Adaptive Control

(to help determine vehicle mass and center of gravity), Electronic Roll Mitigation (which applies

speciﬁ c braking to help maintain vehicle control), Antilock Brake System (ABS), Electronic

Brake Force Distribution, Brake Assist, Understeering Control, and Acceleration Skid Control

(ASR). All automatically compensate to help maintain vehicle control.

5 ALL-NEW DRIVER AND PASSENGER-SIDE POWER-SLIDING DOOR Available power sliding doors

are new for '08 Dodge Sprinter Cargo Van — for both sides of the van. Doors are a full 51.2 inches

wide, with the door height matching the roof height on both standard and High Roof models.

6 THE ADVANTAGES OF RACK-AND-PINION All Dodge Sprinter models feature power-assisted

rack-and-pinion steering, which provides a crisp, secure feeling at the wheel; rack-and-pinion

engineering also results in convenience in tight places — with an ultra-small turning diameter.

7 THE LOWEST HEIGHTS ARE A WELCOME LOW One of the many best-in-class* features is the

lowest side-step-in height of any 2500 van. It gets even more comfortable for workers and

passengers, with this available lower rear step.

or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other

conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp in the speedometer flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle

and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with

conditions. Always wear your seat belt.
