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.
