Hi, im E350's mom and I have some questions. We are looking to get rid of our chevy express van, with 230,xxx miles on it. We are looking for a new van, possibly a mercedes sprinter or another chev express.

1. Is the express LT still available? I asked a saleswoman and she said she didn't know what I was talking about.

2. Does the sprinter have a package with leather, an entertainment system and quad capitain's chairs? How is the E-350 chateau?

3. We tow with the van at least once a week. Will the chev or sprinter be able to tow a 25' travel trailer?

 

FTE has an E350 Large Vans forum.

This forum that you posted to ,is for those topics that don't have a forum already devoted to it.

You also might try to visit the Chevrolet and the Mercedes websites, both should have some of the info you want on trim levels and options.

No- cancelled after one brief model year run.

2. Does the sprinter have a package with leather, an entertainment system and quad capitain's chairs? How is the E-350 chateau?
Not that I'm aware of in the Sprinter- that market emphasis is commercial, not private. Ford offers this, but only as a E150 Chateau.
3. We tow with the van at least once a week. Will the chev or sprinter be able to tow a 25' travel trailer?
Need to know more about the trailerweight, although the Mercedes Sprinter is very limited in power for towing duty. Both Chevy and Ford offer towing packages for a variety of uses, and the Ford Powerstroke Diesel might be an option to consider in a E350.

My parents have a few more questions. Is the E-350 available with capitains chairs in all 4 rows, or do they have to get benches? Also, what is the tow capacity? For some reason our 2 trucks don't have the tow package.

 

No, they aren't. It sounds like you're looking for a conversion, not a factory unit. fordvehicles.com has the answers to all of those spec questions.

 

Found one on ebay, but I don't know who makes it. http://tinyurl.com/acog4

 

That makes two of us- there are almost as many van convertors out there as there are van conversions.
