2007 Dodge Sprinter Review

The 2007 Sprinter continues to be Dodge's entry in the passenger van market, and the new model year sees it with a simplified lineup. Both a short-wheelbase (144 inches) and long-wheelbase (170 inches) version can be ordered, and both models can be configured to seat seven to ten people.

The standard diesel V6 3.0 engine produces a lot of low end torque and should be less expensive to run then the gasoline engine. In addition, a more powerful 3.5L V6 gas engine is available. Both engines are paired with a five-speed automatic transmission.

Standard equipment includes tow hooks, a full-size spare tire, a tool kit, front and rear mud flaps, heated power mirrors, rear hinged doors, keyless entry, and automatic temperature control.

A bewildering array of options are available, including xenon headlights with washers, auxiliary heating and cooling, a six-disc CD changer, and 16-inch aluminum wheels. The optional High Roof adds extra headroom and cargo space.
For 2007, the Dodge Sprinter's wheelbases were revised. Gone are the 118-inch, 140-inch, and 158-inch versions, while 144-inch and 170-inch vans are new. Accordingly, cargo capacity is increased. Instead of the 2.7L turbo diesel inline five-cylinder engine that powered the 2006 fleet, a 3.0L turbo diesel V6 is standard. A 3.5L V6 gas engine can now be ordered as well. Other new standard items include power windows, power door locks, halogen headlights, tilt steering, AM/FM stereo with a CD player, and adaptive electronic stability control. see less
