Mercedes-Benz reckons that this single configuration will still offer businesses plenty of capability, as the Worker has the same towing and payload capacity as the base Sprinter 2500—3,512 lb payload and 5,000 lb towing—along with 319.1 cubic feet of cargo space with a floor that’s 70.1 inches wide and 137.4 inches long. To get anywhere close to that much space in the Sprinter’s closest competitors requires the more expensive medium-roof option for the Ford Transit (315.2 cubic feet) or the long-wheelbase version of the Ram ProMaster (304 cubic feet).
As you’d expect of a base model, the Sprinter Worker’s interior is relatively bare, though it does come standard with power windows, air conditioning, a four-speaker sound system with Bluetooth, and 180-degree-opening rear doors. Additional features like cruise control, power mirrors, a wood cargo floor, LED cargo lights, and active safety features like a backup camera, high-beam assist, and a blind-spot warning system are included in various option packages.
On sale now at Mercedes-Benz van dealerships, the Sprinter Worker offers multiple loan and flexible lease options to make it more accessible to the plumbers, electricians, and other contractors that this value-oriented van is targeted toward.
