[QUOTE="Star B, post: 3371496, member: 61246"] First off, when the sprinters started entering the fleet, the transit line didnt exist in North America. Additionally, Dodge was owned by Damiler at that time (Dontcha remember the ads saying DamilerChrysler LLC?) so if we were buying "Dodge" vans, they would just have been Mercedes Sprinters with a Dodge brand on them. You know... I get it.. It's a 'mercedes'.. it's 'high class foreign' to us in the USA... but in Europe, Mercedes is basically a Ford.... a better built ford, but still a Ford. Also.... Some of our sprinters in our local fleet are pushing 300k. There are a few that are well over that. Even those.... they STILL accelerate well, drive great, and provide a comfortable ride with room to work in. Compare that to some of our Ford vans that have 200-300k on them with shifters that are wobbly as fsck, engines that misfire all the time, and blower motors that only work on "High". Our VMX guys are also Ford lovers/loyalists(they'd kill for a fleet of transits), so don't think they're just giving the Sprinters the eurolove and neglecting the vans... Anyway, back to it, Dodge is now owned by FIAT, The Promaster is just a rebadged FIAT Ducato and they suck. they sit too high up for anyone that's tall so you have to lean back so far in the seat you look like you're going to be capp'in packages in someonez :censored:....
