I got a chance to sit in one over the weekend and crawl all over it. I'd like to drive one. I looked at a 2WD LT model with leather. Crew cab..and it prices out at just over 32k with the V6.
7,000 lbs towing and nearly 1500 lbs of payload. Pretty roomy interior too.
I'm not sure it will replace the 1500 silverado yet. But its a very practical size truck for most average use. In my hunting days I preferred a smaller Truck. This one would meet all my needs in a truck.
Thanks!

Looks like it might for many in the US, be a replacement. Although your towing numbers would be downgraded here, with that car 3.6 engine. i.e a Sprinter 3500 is rated at 7500lbs in the US. Here 4,400lbs or n/a for towing
Mercedes-Benz specifies a braked towing capacity of 2000kg for all variants of the Sprinter. Payload ranges from 1280kg (318 CDI LWB with super-high roof) to 2990kg (518 CDI LWB cab chassis for 5.0-tonne GVM).Mar 25, 2008
