[shanemac]

North American Sprinter van 2014 model year would you consider buying because of the 4 cylinder diesel and the 7 speed auto? or would you tick the option box for the 6 cylinder diesel 5 speed auto (current config)?

...cause the 4cyl/7sp may be for florists and soccer moms... and not 5T box/duelly's!

I see what you mean...i keep forgetting about the cab and chassis that would have motor homes or cube boxes bolted on the back

HP/ TORQUE Ratings are never the same on the N/A side as to global Sprinters, the N/A sprinters are always lower.

OriaN mate until you folk learn to understand the dynamics of a sprinters operation that is a free democratic choice, you'll never know nor learn to advance.

7-G Tronic transmission are not new, but they basically come close to a manual geared option of the wide tooth gearing 'OPTION' that gives the sprinter an advantage off road on slippy surfaces. Very low gearing in first and reverse, this has the effect similar to all-wheel drive Between 700 to 900 rpm.[Tire options are the key to best practice for all surface terrains such as MUD + SNOW with loadings as to an application suited to a Sprinter matches a customers request the final drive axle ratio, gives you a wider range to chose from.

The poll is a nice option, but negativity rules as to the Amerindian-mind-set-culture again.Thus any worthwhile input becomes a reluctant negative to place in print..'sorry'

I don't need specs. I can't afford another new vehicle. My 2007 Sprinter will have to last until one of us is dead. If I do this right, it'll be me.

I'll make sure my girl friend knows that pie will be required for OrioN to show up.

Everyone else gets garlic bread; bring your own booze. Everyone drive safe.

Is the requisite complement pre or posthumous?

Organic or bust... I try not to encourage the chemists and multinationals that are only concerned with control & domination. Have you eaten organic chicken lately? It makes you wonder what the hell you've been eating for the last 25 years!! I very rarely eat Mcd's et al... and when I do I'm sick for 2-3 days afterwards as my body reacts to it like a poison. (That fake beef flavour makes me shiver). And for the same reasons, I wouldn't fly on discount airlines, as something eventually gotta give...
