2006 Dodge Sprinter news, pictures, and information

Sprinter's common rail direct injection (CDI) turbodiesel engine is exactly what you need in a commercial vehicle. It combines longer life, lower maintenance costs, and better fuel efficiency wîth a smooth, clean, quiet performance not typically expected from diesels.

Power and efficiency are ensured by:
- Exact control of fuel metering
- Precise ignition sequence
- Nearly constant injection pressure

Turbocharging the 2.7-liter CDI engine delivers strong acceleration peaks near 4,000 rpm, giving you on-demand acceleration coupled wîth noteworthy fuel economy. The engine also generates 154 horsepower at 3,800 rpm and 243 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 to 2,400 rpm.

Aside from towing up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, Sprinter has:
- Interior cubic volume of 473 cubic feet (Sprinter Cargo Van)
- Payload capacities of up to 4,824 pounds for Cargo Van and 3,893 pounds for Passenger Van

The largest full-size van also gives you the tightest wall-to-wall turning diameter in its class - a mere 42 feet*. It's the ideal way to get around city streets and tight work situations. Sprinter also features:
- A tight 36-foot turning radius on the short (118-inch) wheelbase version
- Easy handling, thanks to the power-assisted front rack-and-pinion §teering

When matched side by side wîth the competition, no one comes close to Sprinter's walk-through height. The load height is purposefully low, making Sprinter worker friendly. Plus, Sprinter Cargo Van interior volume is an outstanding 473 cubic feet. (when properly equipped)

Sprinter has an available high-roof option, providing a very comfortable 73 inches of walk-through height (nearly 20 inches more than the nearest competition). Accessibility to the interior is easy thanks to available rear doors that open a full 270 degrees (the widest-opening doors in its class) on 140-inch and 158-inch wheelbase models—and stay open wîth magnets mounted to the exterior panels.
Remember to properly secure all cargo.

Sprinter's common rail direct injection (CDI) turbodiesel engine is extremely efficient in many ways to save you money. The standard 10,000-mile oil change interval under normal driving conditions means Sprinter is not only easy on lubricants, it's easy on your wallet, too.

In addition to Sprinter's impressive cargo- and passenger-carrying capability, there's something else it carries better than most—its value. In fact, Sprinter is projected to hold its residual value better than full-size Ford and GM vans.
