Dodge Sprinter – Photo Gallery: The 1970s are long gone, and full-size vans have lost their cool. Today they're the preferred ride of plumbers, airport shuttle drivers, and obsessively procreative types such as the 16-kids-and-counting Duggar family of Arkansas. Which goes to show that unhip doesn't mean unusable, or more importantly, unprofitable. For the past few years, Dodge's Sprinter – a rebadged Mercedes-Benz van – has made significant inroads into the full-size van market against the likes of Chevrolet's Express and the segment ruler, Ford's E-Series (formerly Econoline). Yeah, it looks funky, and maybe the name is a cruel joke, but as far as 20-plus foot long vans go, the Sprinter is about as sweet a ride as you can get.
