You realise they used a little 4 banger in box delivery vans for years. We the people are a little hp crazy. 200 will move the loads we intend to move.
I see my mistake. I put in 4-cyl. when it should have been 5. I only see 5-cylinder models available on the website. If there is a Mercedes Sprinter in Europe, I would guess that the Dodge is just rebadged so that they could drop the Ram Van line and save some dough. They sure can't sell TOO many vans if they only sell about 350k trucks per year. Maybe 50k vans per year in the U.S.? They must be able to absord that at whatever plant produces the Euro version.
