Dodge Sprinter 3500 Chassis Cab, 170-inch

wheelbase, shown with aftermarket Service

Body Upﬁ t in Calcite Yellow.

1 INTEGRATED FUEL FILLER DOOR

One of the many upfit-friendly features designed into Dodge

Sprinter Chassis Cab models: the fuel filler door is integrated

into the cab. No rerouting is needed for any upfit.

2 MULTIFUNCTIONAL SEATING

Choose from several distinctive available seat versions, which

include surprising comfort features — like available adjustable

headrests and armrests. In the available two-seat bench

conﬁ guration, inside-the-seat storage is standard.

3 THE LANDSCAPE BODY UPFIT

Dodge Sprinter Chassis Cab was designed for multiple uses

within one sector. Landscape bodies feature ﬂ at cargo area for

machinery, with ample room for racks and storage cages.

4 THE FLAT BED UPFIT

Dodge Sprinter Chassis Cab offers a maximum cab-to-axle length

of 111.2 inches, and a maximum GVWR of 11,030 lb. The rear axle

weight allowance (GAWR) is an impressive 7,720 lb.

5 THE STAKE BED UPFIT

With an available 144-inch wheelbase, the 3500 Dodge

Sprinter Chassis Cab is ideally suited for a multitude

of agricultural applications.

6 THE SERVICE BODY UPFIT

Easily the most popular choice for utilities, municipalities, light

construction and service industries: Service Body upﬁ ts allow

enormous latitude for a wide variety of work applications.

7 UNIBODY STRUCTURE

It's the preferred engineering when so many variables are in place.

Unibody design translates into impressive handling under many

different vehicle loads.

8 EXEMPLARY FRAME CHARACTERISTICS

Its frame was designed to handle a full load, and exhibits superb

straight-line stability and roll resistance.

9 FULL-SIZE SPARE TIRE

You expect a full-size spare on a commercial van this good. But

what's unexpected is a logical option: a complete tire-sealing kit,

consisting of compressor, and tire-sealing compound — all part

of the Security Group.

10 INDUSTRIAL-GRADE FRONT SUSPENSION

Assets include axle with crash-tested subframe; low-weight

fiberglass-reinforced plastic transverse leaf springs with

high-stabilizing capacity; and maintenance-free front wheel-

bearing assemblies.

11 DUAL-CIRCUIT BRAKE SYSTEM

Dual-circuit hydraulics with a sliding-caliper disc brake system

are the key. Electronic brake pad wear sensors are employed on

all wheels, and the discs can be serviced without hub removal.

12 FULL-FLOATING REAR AXLES

Once again, pragmatic engineering abounds for Chassis Cab

and its many applications. Rear axles on Dodge Sprinter are

"full-ﬂ oating" — referring to an axle shaft that is not subject

to bending forces. Compared to "semi-ﬂ oating" rear axles, the

full-ﬂ oating design signiﬁ cantly increases load capability and

weight allowance.

13 VARYING AXLE RATIO CHOICES

Got an application? Dodge Sprinter lets you choose between two

axle ratios that are right for your job — and for your Chassis Cab.

The 3.92 ratio is standard; available for Chassis Cab is the 4.18

axle ratio.

14 RACK-AND-PINION STEERING

It's engineering that's found in elegant sedans, SUVs and

even race vehicles — and it works in all Dodge Sprinter models.

Rack-and-pinion steering offers remarkable responsiveness

and control, with top-notch maneuverability. It's also the reason

Dodge Sprinter models can offer such outstanding — and

conveniently small — point-to-point turning diameters.

15 FIRST-CLASS HANDLING

Rack-and-pinion steering is only part of the handling story.

Dodge Sprinter models feature networked and intelligent systems —

like the standard Adaptive Electronic Stability Program* (ESP).

By controlling the brake system for each individual wheel, Adaptive

ESP automatically adjusts travel when the system detects an

erratic course — and that helps give you a much more secure ride

designed to stay in and under your control.

* No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics 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

ﬂ ashes, 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. *When properly equipped.
