A Sprinter is quite simply a Mercedes Benz van. Always has been. In the past it has been badged for sale as a Dodge or Freightliner. It is still badged as a Freightliner (owned by Mercedes). In all the badges past and present there is no differences in the vans other than some minor cosmetic changes like name badges and front grill design. Mercedes divested Chrysler/Dodge in 2010. Fiat took majority ownership and now Dodge markets a Ducato as a Promaster. The Promaster has been "Americanized" differently than other European vans. Dodge made no changes to the Sprinter when they were marketing it. The Sprinter was never a Dodge but in name only.
