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.

Electronic Stability Program

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

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.
