Key specifications

Wheelbase 170 inches with an extended rear section; overall length approximately 24 feet; overall height roughly 9 to 10 feet in high-roof form; interior height about 6 feet 4 inches; interior width about 70 inches with roughly 53 inches between the wheel wells.

Available on 2500 and 3500 weight ratings, with the 3500 rated near 11,030 pounds GVWR and required for 15 passenger seating and heavy conversions.

Why converters and fleets choose this body

It is the only Sprinter long enough to do everything at once: four rows of seats and a luggage bay, or a full executive lounge with a lavatory, or a camper with a fixed rear bed and a garage underneath. The extra rear overhang adds volume without adding wheelbase, so the turning circle grows less than the length suggests. That combination — maximum interior length with manageable maneuverability — is why virtually every U.S. Sprinter conversion shop builds on this platform.

Driving and parking realities

Expect a wide turning circle, a long tail that swings on tight corners, and height that exceeds most parking-structure clearance signs. Back it with the camera and mirrors, take driveway aprons at an angle so the rear does not scrape, and check posted clearances before entering any garage or drive-through. Loaded, it is stable and planted; empty, the rear rides firm. Crosswind assist and available blind-spot monitoring take much of the effort out of highway driving.
