Rebadging from Dodge to Mercedes Sprinter
I have successfully rebadged my 2010 Pleasure Way Ascent (2008 Sprinter originally badged as a Dodge) to Mercedes. If anyone wants to know the details, I am willing to send them a detailed description...

Well, I don't want to feel like I am piling on, so I will add something positive below, but first, have to say I am big into buy-American, and am immensely proud of my current 5 MOPAR vehicles (1968 to 2010) and 4 previous MOPAR vehicles, mileage ranging from 6000 miles through 140,000 miles, all the way up to 240,000 miles and that one still running when traded in. So I would love a Dodge Sprinter or Ducato (er, I mean, Promaster). I have a Chevy B just by chance opportunity.
But from being on car discussion websites, I know a lot of people are into tribute cars, upbadging, fantasy cars, etc., etc. To each his own, I have some strong feelings on it because I love stock vehicles myself, whether they be 4 door 6 cylinder Dodge Darts, or Hemi 'Cudas.
Customizing, detailing, and badging is of great interest to some, and most all of us care about the appearance of our vehicles. So that being said, it is all about "to each his own" and I respect that it does make a valid project to rebadge for those who have the interest, even though it is not for me. The Mercedes and Freightliner heritage of the Sprinter is an interesting automotive/truck world story. So hopefully, the post will help others who may have a similar desire to re-badge. The Dodge/MB relationship was a strange occurrence in history, and the potential to re-badge Sprinters is a unique byproduct of that. Will be interesting to see the final vote count, but an interesting post and thread, I salute the conversation!
