Full-Size 3/4-Ton Cargo Van
2014 Mercedes-Benz/Freightliner Sprinter Van 2500 Std Roof 144 WB
|
In this competitive segment, three different cargo vans had the lowest lifecycle costs in one or more of the twenty scenarios Vincentric measured. But the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and its Freightliner branded sibling were able to retain the claim as the Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America with the lowest lifecycle costs in 17 lifecycle scenarios. Although the new Ram ProMaster showed strength in the high lifecycle terms and the GMS Sierra in the low mileage scenarios, the well-balanced strength of the Sprinter ruled the day.

The Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America award is based the vehicle's performance over multiple annual mileages (10k, 15k, 20k, 25k, and 30k) and multiple lengths of ownership (24, 36, 48 and 60 months). The chart shown above reflects results from three years of ownership at 20,000 miles per year.
